Limited Quota, Trophy Antelope
Most commonly, our Antelope hunts, are accomplished by accessing areas of our private ranches with 4x4 vehicles, then glassing, spotting and stalking. RCO’s hunters typically enjoy 100% shooting opportunity with typically 100% harvest success, made possible by our well managed antelope herds, top notch, experienced guides, excellent habitat and stalk-able terrain! We target only mature bucks that typically average 13 to 15 inches, to include good mass, nice curls and long prongs! Generally, our hunter’s bucks will have P&Y and/or B&C scores averaging in the low to mid 70’s, with many great trophies scoring in the high 70’s to low 80’s and beyond, year after year!
These incredible “speed goats” of the prairie offer a fast paced, exciting hunting opportunity, sure to please any sporting hunter! Due to the vast ranch lands and the wide variety of habitat that we control, we are able to accommodate virtually any hunter’s physical abilities and individual interests for a successful, memorable Wyoming Antelope hunt!
Although preference points are helpful, they are not absolutely necessary to draw a tag! Antelope licenses are readily drawn for our hunting areas! If you are planning to hunt antelope in Wyoming in the future, we strongly recommend you buying preference points in advance to guarantee yourself a future tag! As an added bonus, Trophy Antelope may be hunted in combination with many of our Mule Deer or Elk hunts. Depending on the hunt chosen, accommodations can vary from cozy bunk-houses on the ranch, to spacious modern log lodges or local hotels and Airbnbs. Please contact us for specific details about various Antelope hunting opportunities.

These Trophy Antelope Hunts take place on several exclusive private ranches in South Central Wyoming, laying within the famed Red Desert / Interstate 80 corridor!

In other words “shop till you drop” while looking for your ultimate dream buck in Wyoming’s awesome backcountry!

This excellent Pronghorn Antelope hunt takes place on the historical “88 Ranch”, a 35,000 acre working cattle ranch in Northern Converse County Wyoming, (Area 26 Type 1). For over 30 years, a very successful archery hunting program has dominated the “Goat” hunting on the “88”. Bowhunters are provided with strategically placed, proven shooting stands/blinds at active waterholes for close-up shooting opportunities, at numerous Pope and Young quality Pronghorn! It’s truly a bowhunter’s dream, with shooting opportunities daily! Many bucks taken each year will qualify for the Pope and Young Archery record book. Later in the fall, we can accommodate rifle hunters wishing to pursue a trophy pronghorn as well! For a select few rifle hunters, Mule Deer may be added to Antelope for an exciting combination hunt! RCO’s hunters will enjoy excellent home cooked meals and comfortable bunkhouse /cabin lodging and accommodations right on the ranch!
