NUMBER 1 TROPHY PRONGHORN HUNT
This hunt has produced an
amazing amount of Boone and Crockett bucks for taking such a limited
number of hunters, 4 per year. Sorry to say 2011 was not one of
them. If you hadn’t heard this area was on its 427th
day without rain when the hunt started. It was the worst drought
in west Texas
and southeast
New Mexico
in over 100 years. HCU’s Cliff Graham and Bob Wodzisz were on this
hunt along with a couple buddies. They took 3 bucks with the best
grossing 82 inches and the unsuccessful hunter passed on over 50 bucks.
The outfitter offered him a return trip at no cost due to the poor
weather conditions; it doesn’t get any fairer than that.
This trophy hunt is $4,000 guided 1x1 and with only
taking 4 hunters on this 25,000-acre ranch you get an amazing
opportunity for a great pronghorn. In 2010, 3 of the 4 bucks taken
had 16-inch horns and grossed 80 inches or better. In 2009, 3 of
the 4 bucks taken gross scored over the Boone and Crockett minimum of 82
points and the best grossed 87 with 2 more at 85. In 2008 all 4
bucks grossed over 82 with the best coming in at 87 and 86 inches.
2-day hunt takes place in southeastern New Mexico
near Gladiola and includes nice ranch house accommodations, home cooked
meals and airport pickup in Midland or
fly into Lubbock, Texas
and rent a car. Season is the second or third weekend in September. 2
of the 4 spots are still available for 2012.
Hunt PG685.

AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER DATES
Trophy quality had dropped off with the 2011
drought so the outfitter only took 6 hunters and all took home bucks
averaging 70 plus inches. In 2010 he took a total of 8 hunters
over the course of 2 hunts on 150,000 acres and all 8 took nice bucks.
The better ones came in at 15 1/2-inches with good mass.
Northeastern New Mexico
has always produced heavy horned antelope and the numbers have been
consistently high. This hunt typifies the area by always going 100
percent success on nice bucks. The outfitter doesn’t over hunt his
property contributing to the quality.
This area offers 2 seasons, each are 3-day hunts, August 20 to 22
(perfect for students) and September 17 to 19. Price is very reasonable
at $2,400 guided 2x1 with a brand new lodge equipped with trophy room
and all the amenities. Guaranteed landowner voucher is included so
there is no draw. Hunters fly into Colorado Springs and rent a car. Hunt
PG278.

5-DAY TROPHY ANTELOPE
BOWHUNT ONLY $1750
100% SUCCESS AGAIN
This rancher/outfitter
runs a small personal operation in southeastern
Montana
on private property that has produced many trophy bucks. The
genetics are very good and he typically doesn’t rifle hunt these
ranches, only bowhunts.
Last fall he had 11 archers
take 11 pronghorn bucks and 7 should make Pope and Young. In 2010
his 7 archers took 7 bucks, with 5 making Pope and Young and 2 more that
may qualify. In the past 4 years he has taken 31 bowhunters total
and they took 30 bucks.
This is a no frills hunt with

$1,750. Hunt dates are August 15 to late September. Hunters
need to apply for tags by June 1. Fly into
Billings or
Rapid City and rent a
car.
The outfitter has decided to offer a
whitetail/pronghorn archery combo hunt. Last fall he went out one
evening and glassed over 20 bucks that would gross score over 125
inches, 2 more over 150 and one that would go over 160, just on his own
ranch. Price would be $3,500 for a combo and if you didn’t draw a
pronghorn tag the deer hunt would drop to $2,800 or if you didn’t draw
the deer the pronghorn hunt would drop to $1,500.
Deer draw deadline is March 15. HCU’s Bob Wodzisz has been on this
ranch. Hunt
PGB427.

receives 3 landowner permits per year and the outfitter has picked up
another ranch that has 2 permits.

5 DAYS UNGUIDED ARCHERY
PRONGHORNS ONLY $1250
This outfitter offers a 5-day unguided archery
antelope hunt and he also provides a bunkhouse with 2 bedrooms for only

In 2011 his 13 hunters took 10 bucks and most were in
the 65 to 73-inch range. In 2010 he also took 10 bucks. HCU
had a group of 6 archers here and the weather was wet so the water holes
weren’t producing. The group used their stalking ability and made
some long shots to fill out on some nice bucks.

tags by June 1. Fly into Billings
or Rapid City
and rent a car. HCU has worked with this outfitter for the past 20
