I'm looking to fill a bucket list item this year - a pronghorn antelope. We are willing to pay a guide so any comments you have are more than welcome.
Cheers,

I’m curious about this, so thought I’d bump it.
When in doubt, just pin it.
I paid outfitter in Wyoming $1400 for guided hunt. We flew to South Dakota rented a car to drive to Sheraton Wyoming, likely seen well over 200 antelope on that drive.
I could see the buggers from my hotel window, they are like rabbits.
Easy hunt, we knocked a couple down and spent the balance of time in Yellowstone, Cody, Deadwood, Sturgis, and visited Mnt. Rushmore
Fantastic trip with just my hunting Pal!
enjoy

Rifle or bow? Have you checked threads on here?
"Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye;
Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark."

we will be using rifles
The trip is possible as a DIY hunt. If that interests you. Did the trip with a buddy in Wyoming. Was successful and quite easy to do. The Wyoming fish and game website is easy to navigate. Register for a hunter number and apply for a LEH hunt online. Many areas offer 100% or near 100% success for a draw. Most have limited access but, offer enough Public land for a good hunt. Apply through alcohol, tobacco and firearms for a rifle transport permit.
Going with an outfitter makes it easier for sure. A lot of land owners have a relationship with them too.
I have done a DIY hunt (successful) in South Dakota.
Also hunted pronghorns (successful) in Alberta with Silver Sage Outfitters - great hunt and a lot less hassle...
