I have points for antelope in WY and MT and will probably bank points in WY and apply in MT for this year as it looks like MT is more of a sure bet and the season I would apply for is later in the year and pretty long.
I'll bank points in WY deer and elk as well this year.

Wait......what? Quarantine for 14 days? Currently or in September?currently. Contrary to popular belief, the world is in fact NOT ending. Fall seasons will be in full swing and I'll be applying for deer and hoping the hysteria that kept MT apps down, will push through to WY as well and guarantee me some tags :IBCOOL:

The current regulation expires on 4/30 unless extended. It's not clear under what circumstances it may be extended, but common sense would say that WY would look outward and determine the risk of allowing nonresidents in. They likely can't do it state by state, so we are likely lumped in with every other state.
It would be very nice if states would publish official guidance like what they will do if either state has a stay at home order or a quarantine in place. If we knew we would either get a refund or transfer to the next year that would resolve a bunch of apprehension in sending a bunch of money their way. It sounds like MT plans on doing that, but I haven't seen official guidance from any state yet.

If I didn't want to hunt antelope so bad this fall I'd apply for an area that I'm one point short on and hope the virus will give me an edge on drawing it. Could be some crazy draw odd this year.

Interested in purchasing preference points for future Antelope hunting. Never been through the process before; do I just wait and buy when it opens in July for preference points?Yes; they can be purchased July 1 through November 2.

CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is suspending the sale of nonresident daily and five-day fishing licenses, effective immediately. This suspension is due to the need to ensure individuals coming into Wyoming for a non-work related purpose comply with Governor Gordon’s April 3, 2020 Directive requiring a fourteen day quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals are responsible for complying with all state and local orders.
The suspension of nonresident fishing licenses is a temporary measure to give the department the ability to align with state and local social distancing guidelines, directives, and orders which were put in place for public health and safety. Authority was granted through an emergency rule signed by Governor Gordon.
Emergency regulations remain in place for 120 days. The Department may reverse this license sale suspension if guidelines, orders, or directives are changed.

Buying points for myself, but I put PathfinderJR and Little Pathfinder in for an antelope hunt they (hopefully) can draw with a 1/2 point each (PathfinderJR had a single point they have to split).When can you buy preference points?

Post by: Widgeondeke on June 02, 2020, 09:42:13 AM
Unit 42 for bucks with 3 points, last year 3 points was 100%
Unit 43 for doe tags. This unit has 90,000+ Access YES land between two ranches
My son's last year as a youth, so wanted a 100% unit to hopefully draw tags for his first out-of-state hunt
now the wait............. :o
Next time we will be applying for 52. Luckily I have a brother who lives/guides in the area.

Have they released the 2020 regs and specific hunt dates yet? I can only find the 2019 regs online. My group drew elk and w/o excessive point creep should be 100% on deer. Getting excited!

No elk tags for our party of 3 in unit 120 with 10 point average??? Looked to be 100% last year.10 points in 120 was 20% this year.

I hope to get my deer tag after 10 years of buying points.
I even got a goat tag in the next unit, so i hope to do both.
Getting both (even avg bucks) would be cool.

That does explain it! I guess I might have to kick my buddy to the curb since he only had 8 Points and we had 12 points.
Post by: Bwana Bob on June 09, 2020, 08:51:05 AM
Probably for the best because he would not want to hunt that long to kill a good antelope > 78 inches. I;m retired now so lots of time to hunt. I plan to get there 5 days early to scout.
If he lets me piggyback on his 6 points next year he will be sharing the gas if I drive. I'll be 70 in July so not to many years to earn points. I may have to prostrate myself to hunt in the dreaded NE. corner and go blind looking at my GPS, SUCKS

How did you apply for both?
Post by: Karl Blanchard on June 09, 2020, 09:15:08 AM
You'll draw H for sure, but good luck on G.6 for G is still in random territory so like 4% draw odds and H can't be drawn as a second choice.

I bailed with 8 last year. Meant to do it at 5/6 points, but got distracted with some big CO deer.
I drew H on 09/10 with zero points. Had to do special with 3 to guarantee a tag this year.
Post by: Karl Blanchard on June 09, 2020, 11:59:13 AM
I think G creep will continue to climb as max point holders get frustrated with lack of lowl land, big buck options for the foreseeable future.I agree. H is still attainable as a random draw but I think even that is gonna go to single digits here in the near future. I'm in with 2 but with the way these other states are showing big spikes in applicants I'm not holding my breath on it be over 70% again :'(

Well good luck! I hope you guys get it. I dream of G but just can't stomach waiting 8+ years to get it :'( Sadly I'm expecting it to bump a full point again this year.
Totally agree. I hunt unit K and it seems every one to two years it jumps another point to draw.
