Our group of 4 hunters drew 59-1. We had an average of 10.3 points between us all. I may never hunt this unit again if points go like they have, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves hunting antelope with the side show of lots of elk and muledeer. It’s a special place. Oh and it is easier to draw than the surrounding high profile Units with the same quality.

Looks like people got over the big fee hike last year and jumped back in this year.  We were 1.3 points over what it took last year in the special and didn't draw.  Will be interesting to see what demand looks like for all the different units when it gets published.

It's sad that hunts that were 100% odds to draw 15 years ago are now 1 in 10.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Congrats everyone! I've been chasing the last couple draws but sat this one out.

I don't think I'll ever catch up looking at the odds for at least 4 years minimum for my top 3 I've been looking at, unless herds rebound and they increase tags back to where they were.

I'll have 9 next year. My top 3 for special were <7, <8, and <8 @ 100%. Normal was 10, 11, 11 @ 100%.

Got some thinking to do over the next year.

Hopefully you all can give us an update on how the herds are doing this fall!

Two of my sons went into the pronghorn drawing with 11 points each, they drew. But last year some drew with less than 10. This year if you didn't have at least 11 points you were not going to draw a preference point tag, and very slim chance at a random tag, 7 Applicants with 11 points drew all the tags in the preference point drawing. My youngest will just be out of the marines in time to go to Wyoming for his hunt.

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.
