Wyoming Elk

You won't draw the general elk license as a second choice. I think it used to be possible but not anymore. If you look at last year's odds it took 2 points for 100% odds of drawing. With less than 2 points, you only had a 4% chance. That's if you have it as a first choice. So there's no way you'd draw as a second choice. Maybe this year it will be different due to the increased price, but I doubt it.

Well the two point for 100% is cool. I'm going no matter what this year to tag along if nothing else but next year I'll have two and I don't know if I can justify two out of state tag along trips in a row lol.

The Wyoming bio I talked to at the sheep show in Reno said you'll almost never get drawn for the second choice?  Anyone draw second choice often?  He also said I have a 50% chance at drawing my unit 62 elk tag this year, 50% minimum, could be higher.

I hope you do. However it's literally impossible to predict the draw odds based on preference points...what with 5-50 tags available for NR's in the higher demand units and THOUSANDS of people with 10/11/12 preference points that have just been sitting on the sidelines forever. Especially impossible to predict this year with the price increase...but you gotta put your name in the hat to get selected
