I was thinking about jumping into the points game this year but I read that they're looking at significantly cutting the tags a available to non residents rven more than they do now. I'd hate to commit to a two decade process for nothing.
I'm also sitting on 10 to 12 points for moose and sheep. I hope to be able to draw within the next 15 years. Strategy is to stay healthy and keep working out to stay in shape.
Looking at this page it appears that it's pretty tough draw odds, right now a 15 to 20 year wait for a guaranteed tag and that's not figuring point creep, not sure how their draw works, is it 100% preference (those with the most points draw all tags) or is it bonus points (points get extra chances in the draw)? http://gf.state.wy.us/web2011/Departments/Hunting/pdfs/TOTAL_PREF_POINTS_MS_130004710.pdf
which units did you select guided or DIY
It would be cool to know how many non res tags they give out for each every year. I am sure a person could find out
Even with 12 points, that's about 10 years to chew through the NR pool. for moose that is. Sheep is even uglier

Yep but if you're a non resident the costs are cheap. Who wants to commit to spending $100 a year for 20 years, then pay what will likely be $2,000+ by then? That's $4,000 just to get your tag. Gotta be cheaper options in Canada or Mexico.
I'm in for moose again this year. Not for sheep.Hopefully they keep my money and not issue me the rebate check again.
Myself and my hunting buddy drew our moose tags for WY! Came in the mail yesterday! I bailed on the point system when they jacked the prices to $75 for moose points. So we weighed out the costs of Idaho at $2,200 for a tag VS. the WY tag at $1,416. All things being even we decided to put in for WY and see what happened. Yep we are hunting moose! No points either! Yes there is a hitch but I am not telling!
moose points in wyoming are $75 a year and the sheep is $100
