I have buck and doe permits for unit 43 just North of Laramie. I am stoked. I live in AZ where the antelope are jumbo size but draw odds are horrible. I have lived in AZ all my life and have never drawn an antelope tag. I have the max number of bonus points this year though so watch me draw here also and have to choose between the two as I doubt I would be able to take enough time off to do both. That would be my luck!

:-D
Well that was Less of a reaction than I thought I'd get from you Longwinters.  It should be different for you since you probably never HAVE to shoot more than 50 yards. Wide open fields and Wiley "lopes" should make for some fun.
Do you even have anywhere to sight in for a 200 yard shot? What bullet do you plan to use? :D  
 
See ya in a couple months...

AZ,  I am a little slow.  Mostly because I didnt know you lived in Peoria. :oops:   You are right . . . it will be hard to find a place to shoot over 100 yds.  If I shot a 300 winmag I could just use the 1st bullet to clear a path out to 300 yds  :lol: I am trying to figure out between the 7mm, a 7m-08 and my 243.  We all drew in #35. I was counting you when I said 34.  Anyway, I will take whichever gun I can shoot the best (right now the 243 ) with Nosler Partitions 90 gn.  Let me know when you are shooting 1" moa.
