[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1266519, member: 50867"] Check with [U][U][URL="http://www.noaa.gov/"]National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | U.S. Department of Commerce[/URL][/U][/U] and find a forecast period when the wind isn't blowing. :rolleyes: I'm sorry. Couldn't resist that. Following the previous advice on selecting an area based on WGFD stats is, IMO, the best starting point. Prioritize your findings and then use Google maps to explore the territory. Wyoming can be as difficult as any other "open range" state to determine where private land ends and public land begins, so get that GPS with land ownership chip in that was mentioned earlier in this thread. Practice using it. NAIL DOWN YOUR TENT or you may find your self waking up in open air in the morning. Don't leave anything in camp that you can't afford to lose when you leave for the day's hunt. Folks in Wyoming are great but Wyoming has it's share of thieves (speaking from experience here). You'll have better luck if you apply as a group instead of individuals. My son and I have a collection of several points and still have not been drawn for the last two years. So if you don't get drawn don't be too disappointed. We like the areas north west of Cody and east of Lander. In the meantime, find some areas of high wind to practice in and study wind reading articles. Take you patience with you. Antelope behavior is erratic. When you think they don't see you you're mistaken. They just haven't gotten the signal from the lookout to blast off. [/QUOTE]
