The less than 4, is a result of a group of people applying together and having their average points used. If one has 3 points and another has 4 points, the average is 3.5. They don't round up or down to the nearest whole number like most other states do.

that comes into play when groups apply, they pool all the points together. So if you had 4 and your partner had 3, you both would be in the draw with 3.5 points.
While last year 4 points was 100%, it is very plausible that this year 5 points was 100% and 4 points was less successful. Some area of Wyoming have been hit hard and the animal numbers are WAY down, thus less tags allotted.
Better luck next year.

Unsuccessful for WY pronghorn again...judging by last years odds this should have been in the bag. Anyways this brought up a question i'm hoping someone can answer... I applied for a unit this year with 3 preference points, plus one i purchased going into the draw for a total of 4. Anyways after looking up the drawing odds i see that the unit has 100% draw for "4" points, and 65% draw for "<4", and 0% for 3 or less. What exactly is the difference between 4 and <4? Is that just the difference between having 4 points and buying the 4th when you apply?

<4 means less than 4 but more than 3. As has been said WY does not round up or down on party applications. So if a group has an average of 3.9 - 3.1 they will draw in order of who has the most points. And also you do not buy a pt before the draw. You get the pt after the draw.
