Hunting - January 2007

I have hunted whitetails in Wisconsin and Illinois and hunted Sitka-Blacktails in Alaska.

I was looking at doing an unguided Antelope hunt one of these years. I currently live in Illinois so I was thinking of a Wyoming hunt as it wouldn't be that bad of a drive.

Does anyone have any tips on finding publicly accesible land? Any suggestions on a good place to go on a first Antelope hunt? Any tips from experienced Prairie Goat Hunters (equipment needed...4 wheel drive, ATVs, just walk, spotting scopes, binoculars, etc...)

I think the two big things I would like to find out is how to find public land (Federal, state, etc..), where people suggest a good Antelope hunt, and what you take with you when you go hunting on the Prairie.

(To the anti-hunters...spare me the comments, I don't care. I kill and I eat what I kill. Wild game is much better and cleaner than the crap bought at a super market. The animals I kill had a life at one point, unlike at corporate farms)

Is there any way I (or a gunsmith) could fix the rear sight on my 59/66 SKS? It is not adjustable, and the front site won't adjust far enough to compensate. (Why the godless commies made the fron instead of rear site adjustable I don't know) It shoots at least 6 inches to the right at 30 feet.

In the opinion of experienced hunters, would an SKS in 7.62x39 be enough gun for a razorback hunt?

I am looking for an over under double gun in 20 gauge for my girlfriend to shoot skeet. I specifically don't want an auto gun though it may well be suitable, nor do I want anything with plastic furniture...so, first hand experience preferred, what's the best gun under $1000?

I was wondering if the new Remington 17 Fireball was a good caliber for coyotes. I've been waiting and have enought money, so i am in the process of choosing a gun. I assume it is Centerfire, but if you know, let me know for sure. Will it do damage to the barrel since it such a high velocity? If you know about how much bullets are compared to like 22-250s could you let me know?

My family has been hunting and fishing since I can remember. I do not have time to do such sports. I do on ocasion go with them to photograph the outdoor life. Do you think joinning such organizations would help me as well?
I agree on the second amemdent right to bear arms. Do organizations such as the NRA help or hinder the protection of such rights.
Serious answers only, please.
