So the suggestion about 83 is a good choice. I have been told that area 6 and 7 have decent amounts of BLM land. 6 looks like you might be able to draw. I saw a TV program with Jim Burnworth hunting the Powder River breaks. At the time I believed it to of been unit 16 which a non resident could of drawn as a second choice.
Areas 22 and 23 have tags left after the draw because there is a lot of private land there. I hunt 23. The rancher leases to an outfitter but retains the rights to 2 bucks each year. He also allows doe/fawn hunting without any charge. I chatted with a couple of guys at a gas station 2 yrs ago hunting unit 17. All of the pronghorn had been run off the public land and they left without their animals. I offered to try and help them get on a ranch, but they had another tag they wanted to hunt instead. I don't know how many doors they knocked on...... If your going to hunt private land you need to line it up BEFORE the draw. I know a rancher who is charging a $500 trespass fee. You will get an antelope if you can shoot straight out to 250 yds. Any questions and I'll try to help.
