Wyoming Elk applications a month out

Who is applying for WY elk this January? It's time to think about the hunt!
I am taking my wife to NW Wyoming to hunt elk in a general season area, we will be submitting for a trophy area first then the general area second, saving her 6 points for later.
I had a couple of friends hunt the unit last year and they had a nice hunt so It is time to get the wife on her first bull! Bought the new elk rifle already so time to get serious!

Are the 2014 regs out? I've never applied in WY before but was planning on it for goats. But I'm not sure what units, the seasons, etc. I like their website, lots of info (almost too much at once), but I didn't see anything for 2014.
I'd also like to get my hands on a hard copy, anyone know if that's possible without physically being there?

Go here and surf, then when the 2014 regs come out you will know what your looking for.
If you don't have points and are not really picky about the size of bucks, the units around Kaycee have lots of tags, you just have to find somewhere to hunt.

I have max pts for elk but i'm not sure if I will apply for a tag or wait and buy another point. I have some general tag units that I want to hunt but I don't want to use max pts to draw a general tag. So I will most likely keep looking for a unit to use my max pts in.

I bought my first point last year so I am thinking it probably isn't worth putting in anywhere for a few years so that I can at least have a couple points to throw into the pot. I also need to do a lot more reading and research about where I would want to apply. I know next to nothing about Wyoming.

Max for me too but I am not sure what to do
. I don't know the units well enough to feel good about using my points. Probably just buy another point.

I screwed up and missed one year of buying my elk points!!! So I'm one point short of max, the unit I apply for is tough to draw. I'll prob just buy a point and wait till I draw for my quality elk here in wa, 19 points this next draw. Anyone hunt units 61 or 62 for elk???

I somehow did the same thing a couple years back, when I found out what I had done, whew I was hot! We had max for deer and antelope but spaced on the elk!!!
I believe that WY is just like Oregon, apply for a near impossible hunt unit first and pick general as a second choice, you save your points and still get to hunt an area that is better than most all units in Oregon.

You guys waiting on points should go by a left over cow/calf tag for some of the units you might be looking at so you can go and actually hunt some of the areas your interested in. That is what I have done the last four years and it has bee great.

Just a point for me this year. Too many other hunts coming up.

How does it work with points? I just read this and chatted with an old friend in Wyoming that got his first Elk there last year got me thinking about going down there how hard is it to draw a Cow tag? He hunted area 21? not sure where that is somewhere out of Cheyenne is all I know that is where he lives
