Pronghorn Antelope 101

Today we are taking a look at SNS’ most popular species to hunt, pronghorn antelope. You may keep close tabs on them during the hunting season, but how much do you really know about them the rest of the year?

Excellent Antelope Conditions and Increased License Numbers

This year in Wyoming, much of the talk has been about severe winter conditions at high elevations in the western part of the state. But while certain areas in the high country have received heavy snow, it’s a far different story over on the eastern flank of the Rockies and across the plains.

Amid the buzz about a rough winter for high country mule deer, we are currently anticipating one of our best years for antelope in recent history. If yo[...]
