My family; self, brother and two sons, (plus a possible 5th hunter) are hoping to hunt pronghorn in Wyo this year, the culmination of a life-long dream, at least for my brother and me.
younghunter has been very generous with his time in advising me, and has recommended two units for the draw. These will be our top choices, though the odds are not very high in these units.
He has also advised that those units which have very high draw odds are nearly all private land. Well, we would like very much to maximize our chances of getting a hunt this year, since we have gotten the budget in place (might not be so lucky next year
; however, trespass fees will not fit in this budget. So, I'd like to ask a (maybe complicated) set of questions of the list.
Has anyone had any experience in *remotely* locating private land which does not require a tresspass fee? If so, can you give me some hints as to how this might be done from TN? Or, if you know of land that we could hunt in a high draw unit, we would appreciate that information.
We are not trophy hunters. We would be very happy to harvest nice representative bucks. We are more interested in the hunt , the stalk, and the challenge than in whether the game will be listed in some book. Whatever we shoot will forever have top place in our personal lists
We also don't mind locations with potentially long shots, as 4 of us are varment shooters; we will try to save a close one for the final fellow if his shooting isn't up to par by season's opener.
Your advise and wisdom are very much appreciated.
