This site exists to promote one of Wyoming's natural resources – the Pronghorn Antelope. (While talking with a Game Warden from Wyoming Game and Fish, I was informed that all references to Pronghorns on this site should be labeled as "Pronghorn", since they are not really antelope.) While Wyoming has elk, mule deer, and white tail deer, and other “big game” animals, it would seem that the most popular attraction for hunters is the pronghorn. Wyoming is in the record books as having the most trophy class bucks, per capita, than any other state or region. People flood into Wyoming from almost every other state each fall for their chance to hunt a pronghorn. While the pronghorn population stretches from Canada to Mexico, and from the Mississippi to the west coast, Wyoming and New Mexico top the list for places to go to hunt pronghorn.

Wyoming has lots of “wide open spaces” in which to hunt, or watch, pronghorn. It is said that Wyoming even has more pronghorn than people! Neighboring towns are small towns that are 20 minutes apart. There are lots of rolling hills, and open range land. While much of that land is ranch land, there are plenty of BLM and open access areas to allow for plenty of hunting or watching.

So come out to Wyoming, enjoy our scenery, and our Pronghorn Antelope!

I would like to thank Richard Venola, of Guns & Ammo magazine for including this site in his "Shooter's SAT" in the September 2009 issue. This site was used as an answer to one of his questions, with the assumption that we were an organization. But Richard did say, in his answer, that we are a privately owned web site dedicated to education and conservation of pronghorn.

The June/July issue of Outdoor Life just appeared in my PO Box. In that issue, there is an article highlighting what they think are the top 200 towns to live in if your are a sportsman. Rawlins, right here in Carbon County, made the list at #3. Saratoga, also in Carbon County made #17.

Sheridan made the Top Ten, at #7. Remaining Wyoming towns on their list were Casper at #41, Gillette #51, and Green River #100.

It was no surprise that quite a few towns from Idaho, Montana, and Colorado made the list. With all of the great hunting and fishing here that we would have had a few more representatives on OL's list. But I guess we can't be stingy. We have to let some of those other states have some good entries, too.
