Just put my boy's in for deer and lopes and just a goat for me  my Taxidermist hooked me up with a land owner who charges $2500 and he only lets you shoot deer that are 170+ his biggest last year was 208" and we have a couple land owner's that let us shoot doe antelope for free.

I put mine in this morning. If all the draw odds are right I should draw.

Ranger, his girlfriend, Myself and wife are all putting in.

Should be a fun trip, the wife will be on Midtour leave from Korea, so I really hope I can be a nice guy and give her the first shot, but never know

Question for you WY goat hunters...do you also get a deer tag when you go?  I am taking a week off to go to SW WY for the first time this year.  I'll be there around the end of September or first of October.  I have 2 points and should draw a goat tag, which is my primary objective.  But I'm questioning whether to spend the dough to get a deer tag as well, or spend my extra time (assuming I have some) fly fishing and driving around to see the country.  Part of me says get all the tags I can...part of me says the fly fishing will be a lot of fun, and will allow me to explore around more.  Is it so easy shooting goats in WY that you only need a day or two?  Or will I be spending four of my six hunting days chasing goats?  Just wondering what others do.

If your Trophy hunting, I suggest one tag only.  Sometimes the anxiety associated with having two unfilled tags in your pocket can mess with your whole hunt.  I would suggest Antelope only along with some fishing.  Then you could also spend some time scouting for future Deer hunting opportunities....

I'm just buying another point this year. I'll do this for another 4-5 yrs and then put in for the Red Desert units for trophy goats.

I have never regretted applying for and drawing a tag when the season arrived.......it has been the other way around on several occasions.   Set your priorities before you go and stick to them once you are there.   The goat hunt is a slam dunk - you are already spenting to money to go - I'd have a deer tag in my pocket as well if I were you!  Having options is a good thing

I'm applying for the first time this year.  Putting my Dad, wife, son, and self in for goat tags.  Don't know whether it's better to put in as a group or individually though.  Guess I'll flip a coin and go from there.  Haven't figured out which unit(s) to apply for though.  I spend a couple hours yesterday researching it, and man did I have a headache when I went to work tonight!

Going to buy some deer points too.

I talked quite a bit to the fish and game there, and was told that if they have a quota of say 1500 for an area, but you apply as a group and one of you get drawn at 1500 they will go over their quota by a maximum of 2 to help accomodate the group. So in my opinion I thought applying as a group was better.

[Widgeondeke]

I to sent in my application this week. My brother, myself and a couple freinds put in as a party. We are trying for 70 and 72 with the latter being the best chance to get drawn.
What units are others trying for?

[Bob33]

When you apply as a group, you essentially have one name in the hat.  If the group name is drawn, everyone in that group gets a tag (with very rare exceptions).  When you apply individually, each individual's name goes into the hat.   If you have a group of four individuals, the odds of at least one of the four hunters drawing is obviously better than the group being drawn, since there are four chances versus one.

What it boils down to is whether the members of your party are willing to consider getting drawn when others in the party are not.  If it's "all or none" then apply as a party.  My hunter partners and I typically apply individually, since that way at least one of us hopefully gets a chance to hunt, and the others go along to help.

The odds of being drawn at the limit of a quota of several hundred tags is extremely rare, and should not be a big consideration.
