Just a reminder that Wyoming bonus points are now available. I will be purchasing my deer, elk and antelope points again this year and hopefully starting to put my name in the hat next season

Got the points and was thinking 2016, but with the point creep I might be screwed for another year.

If you CAN hunt if drawn, I say apply because each year you don't or just buy points, you lower your odds even more. Point creep is inevitable but is even worse each year you don't apply.

I have a specific area I'm waiting for, there are so many other regular places (other states) we hunt I can't take on anymore, if I draw the specific hunt, then I make room for it.
For the point creep, eventually it will go the other way.

As far as the point creep in Wyoming, there are two big factors present, decrease in overall number of tags and well, more people buying points only and putting in for specific units. According to Guy Eastman, less than 15% of max point holders (9 this year) are actually putting in for tags and not "ghosting" points.

From a guy who drew a unit that required "1" point two years in a row (zero points that I had), I drew each year due to the random draw. Don't forget that a lot of units have at least one, and sometimes a lot (as in up to a couple hundred) random draw tags given to non-residents in that specific draw.

Another neat trick to consider is putting in for the "special tag" and lowering the number of points required to draw by one, two and sometimes 3 pref points. Most great deer units are 5 plus points, elk units are the same (this year that is).

Tag as a reminder

bobcat · « **Reply #13 on:** July 09, 2015, 07:52:53 PM »

No hurry, points can be bought until September 30th.

LOL......but thanks for the reminder

GUscottie · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2015, 07:59:25 PM »

Had my points due to not drawing...just bought my tag for a hunt...

High Climber · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2015, 06:19:02 AM »

I have 6 points for elk and deer, 3 for speed goats... Maybe next year

sagerat1 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2015, 08:43:03 AM »

Got drawn for unit 120 this year with 8 points. My son got drawn last year with 8 points.
It is good feeling to finally get drawn...

lhrbull · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2015, 09:23:06 PM »

my points were bought when I didn't draw moose or sheep

I'm trying to figure out the antelope thing. I applied for doe tags and didn't get drawn. I then had to buy an antelope point. Do the points only apply to buck tags?

Yes, points are only for the full price tags.

Doe tags for residents and non are strictly random draw.

Thanks guys, appreciate the help. Good luck to all.

SemperFidelis97 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 14, 2015, 09:36:00 PM »

How many points do you guys have? we have 3 each going into this year for deer, and antelope. I am debating in putting my name in the hat next year, but I haven't really made a plan yet on what units I guess I will have to watch Eastmans MRS next year.

Bean Counter · « **Reply #24 on:** July 14, 2015, 11:43:38 PM »

I had two going into this year, and my dumb luck brought me a tag that usually takes 5+ to draw.
