My dad, my son and I are heading to WY tomorrow for an antelope hunt. We are doing a trespass fee, diy type hunt. I have looked the regs over, but I just wanted to verify we have all the necessary stamps to be legal. We have tags, conservation stamp and archery stamp, is there anything that we are missing?
Thanks

You'll need an ORV permit if you're taking a quad.

Is the orv permit necessary if we are on private land?
Thanks for the well wishes.

No, not on private land; only public roads, as well as National Forest and BLM

If your ORV is licensed as highway legal in another state, do you need an ORV permit????
I thought all states had to recognize other states highway legal vehicles?????

Yes you need a WY atv sticker if your atv is registered in another state. In fact the Wyoming atv permit was cheaper as a non res than it is for a resident in Colorado

Snake bite kit. ALWAYS had one when I lived there until the freeze hits. I was even issued one as part of my work supplies when I worked as a Range Conservationist for the old SCS. I used to hunt muleys in the canyons west of Chugwater and shake tails were always on my mind after the sun warmed things up.
If you do kill any snakes don't waste them...they aren't bad, tastes like chicken!

What are we talking about on the snake bite kit. If it is the old cut and suck type all of the medical training out there does not ever recommend using this method as it can be more dangerous than the bite.
From: Woods Walker

That may be so, but if I was going to be an hour or more away from a hospital/doctor I darn sure would carry one if I were in poisonous snake country. I would NOT want to spend my last moments thinking..."Gee, I wonder if a snake bite kit would have helped?"
I would rather have it and have the option of not using it rather than needing it and not having that choice.

Before you load yourself up with anti-venom you should understand a few things about rattlesnakes. Most bites don't have venom. The snake actually controls whether or not it bites with venom. It's valuable and they don't waste it.
Injecting anti-venom is not without risks.

Game Bags and Shade! If you get them, get the hide off pronto and into a game bag in the shade and off the ground. You can keep them for two or three days that way if necessary. Any longer and better get them to a cooler at a game processor. Best wild game meat out there, so take care of it.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. It was a very fun trip with one antelope killed, a few passed up and a couple warning shots fired...no snakes encountered. We would really liked to stay a few more days, but for some reason PA thinks school should start in the middle of summer, Cody has to be home for school on Mon. I will post some pics from our trip to help pass some of the seat time on the way home.

Where you headed to man? Me and my dad are currently on way to Wyoming for antelope hunt from Delaware

Wow. Congrats to him!! Nice goat is a bonus to a great trip. Thanks for taking your kid hunting. Most people back east just dream and talk of hunting out here. Love to see the Dad's that just put them in the truck and do it. Great job Dad!
FYI a lot of kids here don't even harvest a goat like that with a bow or even a rifle.

We are headed to Tioga County PA.
Quinn, You would be surprised how many people at home talk about the "West" like it's on a different planet...
Thanks

Awesome buck, I would guess at least mid 70's maybe upper. Great mass and decent prongs looks to be about 14+ inches long. Did you measure the length?

Codys PnY certificate came in the mail yesterday, a nice ending to a wonderful year of hunting that we were able to share. The antelope was 75" even. Looking forward to more hunting memories being made in 2018.
Happy New Year.
