Big Game Hunting > Out Of State Hunting
wyoming pronghorn draw
<< < (6/7) > >>
Ridgerunner:
People are cashing out points like crazy, I predict the trend to continue going forward which means its going to be harder to predict when we will be able to draw.

no luck for us the unit we put in for jumped to 11. Not even close. I guess we'll try for a unit with 5 next year to use our 7 points. I don't know.
Muleydude:
There are quite a few medium level antelope and mule deer units now that have actually dropped in pts required to draw for the special tag allocations.  While going up dramatically in pts required for the regular tag draw.

The large price increases for the special tags has changed the dynamic quite a bit in these middle of the road draw units. 

It is making little to no difference in the top draw units, but, if you want to draw a medium level unit, it is actually, in many units, getting much easier, IF you want to pay the higher fees for the special tag.  In these medium quality draw units, economics is driving the bus much more then general point creep.

To each his own, but my preference would be to hunt a medium level unit 3 times over 15 yrs then one of the higher units, once, maybe, in 20 yrs.  The high tag fees are hard to swallow, they have done a decent job of making the mid level units get back to realty on pts required to draw. 

While the fees for the special tag are very high, if you want that out of State experience in Wyoming, it is now achievable much quicker in many middle of the road units.

Four of us drew 67-1, looking forward to it.

How long can it last? At some point the banked points have to get used up. Right?
I wonder if there is a way to see the numbers of people just sitting on their points?
