Join Cowboy Country Outfitters for an antelope hunting trip in central Wyoming.
We offer two to three day pronghorn antelope hunts starting in early September and running through late October. We offer
hunts for better-than-average as well as trophy and record-book antelope. Wyoming is home to the
world’s largest population of pronghorn antelope, and Casper Wyoming is antelope central. September coincides with the
antelope rut and these animals make outstanding shoulder mounts due to the unusual color of their hides and shape of their
horns.
Most of our antelope hunts take place on private ranches. Casper Wyoming is surrounded
with incredible antelope hunting, so you can choose to stay in either motels or camps including both wall tents and lodge
camps for your antelope hunt. Our town hunt is especially popular for hunters traveling with non-hunters, as Casper is
home to several museums, great shopping and world class fishing on the North Platte River.
This
is a great hunt for the first time out west hunter or for a parent bringing their child on their first hunt. Our antelope
hunts offer so much opportunity that it is almost impossible for the first time or seasoned hunter to go home without an antelope
trophy.
Our antelope hunts are from 4x4 vehicles or ATV's (Polaris Ranger)using a spot
and stalk method of hunting antelope. First you spot that trophy antelope then you spend time sneaking and crawling through
sage brush draws until you are within range of your trophy antelope. If you have never done this then I can not explain
to you how much fun it is. The physical abilities for antelope hunting runs from mild to moderate.
Antelope
hunting license draw rates vary from year to year but we hunt many areas that draw at 100% and these hunts usually have a
95-100% success rate. Hunts for better-than-average antelope are 2-3 hunters per guide. Antelope hunting license applications
are due by March 15th of each year.

- Better-than-average: 12+ inch horn length or SCI score of 65+
- Trophy: 13+ inch horn or SCI score of 70+
- Record book: 14+ inch horn up to 16 inches;
