Plan your trip for early fall like mid oct.
You can have dogs, pheasants, and antelope on the same trip.
You would need to apply for an antelope tag which is mostly by draw.
Sometimes there are unsold tags for certain areas which can be bought
over counter when you arrive. Small game license can be bought after you arrive.
Best to have ample time in order to take full advantage of all oppurtunities.
That means be very carefull who you choose to go with. Long time friends can become
ex friends on long trips. Travel cost are the bulk of the expence. Meals dont count as most
of us eat at home also. Marathon type trips with non stop driving and just a couple days shooting
appeal to some due to time constraints. They dont appeal to me however. Id rather not go thank you.
Ive made several trips alone for those very reasons. There are great people living all over this country.
Take the time to meet some on trips like that. On one trip alone i decided to stop in gillette wy and meet
a guy id spoken with on a website. He has a gunshop there just south of town. I was planning on about an
hour visit before moving on to my destination in montana. I was in gillette for 5 days and shot a very nice
antelope thanks to my new friend.
