I have contacted a few. Some outfitters say booked up but are not due to the fact they can't guarantee a draw. HF tells me you draw we will have an outfitter for you.16 applying for a wilderness area, then will update choices after the final commission next numbers come out.Wow... that should put you in a decent area.... have the outfitter picked out?

I have 5 points and just want a darn Western Elk General so I can hunt with my dad that lives there. Anyone have a bunch of points that is just going for a Western General that wants to go in partners so I can draw before he's disabled or dead and gone? At this rate it will take that long...
I've got 6. Think 5.5 will get it done?

If you want it to be a 100% with no doubt, put in for the special and you will get a tag for sure. Last year it was 100% success in the regular and special with 5 points.

I am not sure if 5.5 is good enough, but I would hate to screw up your chances if it took 6 to draw.

Special draw is out as I am doing a house remodel starting in 2 weeks so the hunting funds are limited to the regular draw this year. I am hoping I can get it with 5 points so we'll see.

Yea the email came out at 3 am and now at 630 I can't even get the website to load
Try doing it from a desktop. My phone wont load it but if I copy/paste on the desktop it loads in about 30 seconds.

No bull tag for me with special and 17 points.wow, you must be going for a premium tag I take it? The point creep must be getting real?!

5 points did not draw an general west tag in the regular draw
Draw odds are out - looks like you had a 45% chance to draw with 5. Should be good next year with 6 (that's my plan anyway)

Lets go back when i was drawing a general tag every other year. Guess i had my hay day. Had my last I think.And you could almost count on a h tag every hear, g tag every two or three. Ah yes, life was better before the greed of the state game departments.

We witnessed some amazing rut action! Saw around 30-35 bulls in 4 days.
My wife took her cow out of a herd of 35 elk with 10 being bulls.
335 yards shot with her .270 Win. Using 150 grain Nosler Partitions.
All 4 of us vowed to go back and do this hunt again as soon as possible. It was a blast!

We returned Sunday from 10 days in SW Wyoming. Our group filled our 3 cow tags and also 4 antelope buck tags.

Awesome, sounds like a good time! I've thought about combining elk w/ antelope there but have been a little reluctant... how'd the timing work out for you? Prioritize elk first? How'd you play the seasons?
Post by: finnman on October 14, 2025, 10:18:21 PM
We arrived Friday afternoon and hunted antelope till Tuesday. My wife shot a 13” buck on Saturday. I shot a 14” buck on Sunday. My two buddies shot 14.5” bucks on Monday.
The cow hunt started on Tuesday. So we scouted for elk as we hunted antelope, it gave us a good head start on what the elk were doing before we started hunting. A great plan since we only had 4 days to hunt elk. But it worked out and we got it done!

Great questions. And yes you should do it!
