Who's in or is putting in? I keep going back and forth on which unit to apply for. You only have max pts once and I don't want to waste them on a hunt that I won't be happy with. Plus I'm not much of an elk hunter so I want it to be very enjoyable so I don't lose interest during the hunt. Decision, decisions, decisions.
-
I'm just buying a point in July as this is my first year. Best of luck! Check out go hunt.com for some good info!
-
I think a late hunt by Cody would be really good. Don't know if I'm going to apply for a point or tag this year. If I had max points I would apply for a tag that's for sure.

I'm definitely applying for a tag.
-
For pure enjoyment, I'd go with a rifle rut tag! I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top tier elk tags in wyoming. Probably just points this year. Don't have quite enough points for the tag I want.
The hot weather that you usually get with a rut tag is a huge turn off for me. I wold love to do a late hunt in the snow around Cody but bears worry me. But I'm going to have to figure something out. You gotta love application season.
-
Haha! Right!?!!! Utah is gonna make my head explode :chuckle:
Utah's easy. The Henry's for deer and San Juan for elk. :chuckle:
-
Another point for me until Karl decides we have enough points to try for a tag. :chuckle:
-
With elk in Idaho and deer in Montana, most likely points again for me this year. By the time I am ready to apply I should have a decent amount of points.
-
I'm not sure if I'm doing points or applying this year, most likely I'll just apply for a long shot and see what happens. I'm up to 6 points after drawing area 30 back in 2010. I guess I need to start putting a plan together.
-
Dad and I have max. We decided we were going to do it individually so that we don't have the pressure of having to fill two tags on one trip. Dad is going to draw first, then I'll start putting in. We've got in narrowed down to 2-3 hunts, but it's getting down to the nitty gritty splitting hairs between them. Good luck to everyone applying!
-
Got two points now and waiting for the rest of the group to let me know what they want to do. Not really looking for a giant, just looking to try something new with a new area and different people with time away from work and fresh air. Probably the Gray's river area, with options open. Don't have a lot of info about hunting Wyoming elk hunting sort of a punt. If you got better info and want to share great, you can PM but I truly understand if you are tight lip. Good luck to all in the 2016 season no matter where you hunt.
-
We are going as a group of 4 with the general tag as there is a couple units we may hunt that both open Sept. 26!
-
I am in for a tag with max points!
-
Points only for me in july, pretty sure anyway. Good luck guys.

Excellent idea!
My wife and I both are one one pt under max, I screwed up one year and thought I applied! Dooh! So looking at a split year, her bext year me the year after. A few units are within reach now at this stage. It's just deciding where your points mean the most.
Some friends of mine did general elk one year and had a great hint, went back next year and had a crap Hunt! It's a real guessing game as to weather, best bet is pick a hint that does not rely on weather.

I put in for the hell of it. I only have 3 points for elk so just hoping to get lucky in the random draw. Put in for a late hunt down by Casper.
-
I'd look at those southwest Wyoming units if I had max points (I only have 5 though, so won't draw it in my lifetime).
-
I've got max points and I'm still not sure what to do. :bash:
-
Sorry but what is max points, yep haven't did my research must be riding sidesaddle or something.
-
10 points for 2016 is max.

This is what we did in WY. In 2011 my brother drew then I went the following year. Took the pressure off trying to fill 2 tags on the same trip. Narrowing down the units is the most stressful part in my opinion. Good luck on the draw.
-
Putting in for a general tag again. Odds are getting tougher every year. Wolves had a big impact last year.

I put in for a tag today. Still might change it but I was running out of time. Does anyone know what day is the last to modify applications?

WGFD website says Feb 25th, but they usually beat the date.

In for a long shot with 3 points.

I bet they post results this week. Probably at 8am on the 18th.

It's fine if he was wrong. Just delays the first disappointment of the year. :chuckle:

I have to have some optimism so I thought I would be optimistic about the draw date instead of actually drawing a tag.

True. Being a point behind max might as well be 4 pts behind. :(

I see WY updated there website saying draw results will be post tomorrow at 10 am mst. And refunds should show up on cc by March 4th.
-
go to the state auditor's website. look up your name. I'm seeing refunds in the $550 range (bull refund) tags from 2/23/16. I didn't find my name on the list, which means...I should be hunting elk. I can't give you a 100% guarantee, but hey, it's close

bottom left corner "vendor payments" then put in your last name "Scott" as an example (that's mine) and then put 2/1/16 for the start date and you'll see a bunch of names...Look under fish and wildlife and see if yours pops up.
-
I don't see fish and wildlife, only other stuff like wine cellars. Ugh

Not a single name comes up when I put in my last name. But if I put in Scott I get a list of names.

Oh crap, are you saying if my name doesn't appear I might not be getting a refund???? Meaning I might have drawn??

Nothing comes up for my name either

I know in the past this way did work, but this year with refunds going back to cc I'm not sure if this will work.

Just tried it and nothing comes up. I find it really hard to believe that I drew. We'll see tomorrow.

yeah, I was excited at first, but I only saw 4 guys with my first name. Seems like more jerry's would have applied in Wyoming than 3 or 4. I have my doubts now, oh well, it was fun for a while.
-
Monster muleys and eastmans would be blowing up right now if the backdoor was working and it's dead on both sites. This year with refunds going back to the cc you used I think the only way you will show a refund is if your cc is no longer good.
-
Bigshooter and 180grain, you try it??
Just tried and nothing :dunno:

Max points and the unit I put in for I won't draw.
Problem solved. :)

Go back to a year you know you applied and failed and it shows, so the site works, however it may not be current, certainly not an insider, so no guarantees

0 for 1.

At least the backdoor drama gave me hope, this is always how my year starts out. 0-1
-
Well 0-2 now this year.

I got a general tag with 1 point.

Driving to Cali to hunt hogs and successful, hopefully the start of a great weekend!

I wasn't expecting to draw. Had already made some other hunt plans that will need to be put on hold.

In 2014 success in that unit was 67% - almost as good as Washington.

A ooops for me. I just checked and I had nine points this year. Time flies, I guess. Now it makes a little more sense that I drew.

Congrats to all who pulled tags! Shoot straight men :tup:

No go for me with max points maybe next year

No surprise my daughter didn't draw with 1 point. I'm going points only this year for a 7th point. Congrats to the lucky winners.

Public land DIY so far. I've brought 2 home. My fault for not getting more. We were really getting it dialed in, and then the wolves put a spin on it last year. Gonna take more time this year and maybe hit the archery season too.
-
"Successful"!!! Unit 54-1!!!
-
Successful! Unit..... :chuckle: !
-
Get to go to Wyoming this fall, with my tag this time. Hopefully the elk will be in the same area they were at a few years ago and the wolves have been held at bay. Should be a great hunt.
