Default Antelope and permission

Are all the antelope zones pretty much equal for ease of getting permission - or are some zones notoriously harder to get permissions than others?

Some zones are nearly 90% public land...whereas others are 90% private. As a result some areas are much easier to to secure access.

Which Antelope zones are 90% public? Unless you mean lease land.

When I pulled a trophy tag 4-5 years back we had 100+ square miles of permission, I wouldn’t pull a tag there this year however as they got hammered by snow.

A herd of antelope can move 40 miles a day easy. There is a reason draw results are not available until August 8, as the biologists do field surveys after fawn season to estimate the herd size. With fawns, the antelope do not move as much, but tend to stay in an area.

Antelope move when there is a lot of snow.

I always thought that too but we have a community pasure up north and the condition is no hunting while cattle are present. It was just implemented this year, I wonder how that’s going to play out?

Just wondering how you find these community pastures, or if they go by a different name in the regs, or government sights?

County map. Call county you are going to hunt and get them to send you one. There about $25.

I found them by scouting the areas, after obtaining county maps.
