I'm looking to do a do it myself hunt for a pronghorn, I'm not overly worried about a giant trophy, but I am looking for somewhere that I should see animals and get opportunities, while not having to worry about going on private property.

Ok I know you said your not interested in a trophy that much however if your going to put out the time money and effort to make this hunt why not at least try to make the hunt in a zone where a trophy is a possibility. New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming are the best Pronghorn states. The first two being where the chances of a real wallhanger are best. If I were you I would start by calling these 3 states Fish and Game Dept. or looking up their websites. They manage zones some to be trophy zones some to be meat zones. I would look at their special hunts. These are usually designed for trophys and hard to draw but it costs no more and usually you can put in for special hunts at the same time as the general season hunts. Meaning if you arent drawn for the special hunt you can take the general season hunt anyway. In the past when I have wanted to hunt a certain speices I would put in for the trophy hunts in 2 or 3 states. This has worked for me and the special hunts are limited tags which means less people out there and a much more enjoyable quality type hunt. here are the addys for them. They have all the info you need to get started and figure out just what you want out of your hunt. http://gf.state.wy.us/ http://www.azgfd.gov/ http://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/

You don't want much. . .
I live in Wyoming where pronghorns are thick enough you can throw rocks at them. Assuming you don't live in God's Country, you are going to need an out of state hunting license. Easy enough to get and not that pricey. Finding a place you can actually hunt without being on private property or leased BLM land is your problem. I wouldn't hold my breath on finding such a place.

No offense, dude. But why not just go to your nearest zoo and shoot a photograph of a pronghorn? Not only is it memorable, but it's safe.
