In was hunting in WY last october. I flew frontier airlines into Denver. Some may have seen frontier airlines has different animals on the tailfins right now. As I was getting on the plane I noticed there was a antelope on the tail fin. Perfect start for my hunt. While getting on board there is a sign in the front of the plane that says "This flight frought to you by Andy". Perfect!!

I hunted with a good friend and we watched this guy chase does for about 30 minutes. We watched him fight another buck and steal the does away so Andy is the one we wanted. After about an hour stalk I finally got a shot. I ended up hitting him a little back. He was getting ready to fall and the buck he had fought earlier comes over and lays a wallop on him steals all the does back and takes off. It was awesome.

One of the best hunts I've ever been on. I had 2 doe tags an 1 buck tag. Tags filled, animals gutted and in the back of the truck by 1:30 opening day.

Here is a picture from Frontier airlines web site of the tail fin.

Good story and now "Andy" makes sense, you had me worried there
<

I've never hunted WYO before but I plan on taking my son this next fall to hunt antelope. He'll be 17 next fall and I figure it's probably going to be our last hunting season together for a few years because when he turns 18 he wants to join the Army and hunt terrorist.
In july of '06 we went to a taxidermy convention in Billings MT and we drove through unit 23 Gillette and my son said " Dad, we need to come back here and hunt antelpoe" so I plan on putting in for that unit. I see that it's an easy draw and there are a couple of "walk-in" areas.

Did you hunt public land or private ?

We hunted private property outside of Cheyenne. Very easy to get access. I think it was easy to get acces because my buddy is from there.
