[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1087241, member: 1656"] I do appreciate the info and keeping this thread alive. We are now committed to hunting the first week of the season. We put in for a tag in Unit 7 and will hunt there first, then come to Unit 24 with a leftover tag or two. We will be in a day early and hopefully camp on a couple herds, shooting at legal light if possible. We are doing what homework looking at maps from 1500 miles away allows -- we are all in busy careers with young families so that is about as complicated as it gets. But we hunt hard and thus far our 5 years of western hunting experience has left the group with no unfilled tags except elk -- we hunt hard, and even on the elk we filled >25% of our tags in areas where success is single digit overall. We are not afraid to get away from the roads and I've found a lot of antelope that road hunters miss. The trespass fee info is interesting, thus far our experience with antelope has been in western MT and it is very different. There is decent walk-on access for deer, but even in places that will charge a fee for deer often they are happy to let you on for antelope for free. We once met up with a landowner while unintentionally trespassing -- the BLM map was WRONG -- and once we profusely apologized, showed them the map, and clarified that we were after goats and not deer....he circled 3000 acres for us on the map and gave us a free pass!
