I’m in with 10 pts. I hate elk hunting.

First real Western hunting experience, I've been bumbling around Olympic National Forest getting humbled by blacktails this past season. Everything is pretty different from sitting in a box blind over a food plot! Hitching a ride with my stepfather's bull hunt in Unit 23. We are going guided. He's burning his 12 points and I'm going to try and take a cow elk and pronghorn while he's looking for a big bull. Hoping to bring 200+ lbs of meat home to the freezer! I'm stuck at 3 points right now, will be looking to burn on the general elk tag in the coming years. Good luck to those in the draw!12 points wont guarantee your father a bull tag in 23 this year. I think he is in the running with those points but no guarantee at all. Last year with his 11 points he would have been successful. This year a lot of things can and will change. Good luck! By the way, you will need 7 plus points to get an antelope tag with a 27% chance of getting a dow antelope tag. about 49% chance of drawing your cow elk tag in 23.All odds I have seen are 100% draw for unit 23 first choice regular with 12 points? We did have to back off unit 7 because the odds weren't as good. Antelope is going to be unit 63-2 (6%) first choice special, 2nd choice unit 23 65% odds. The cow tag is a 23-6.A couple things for a heads up, not sure if you realize them or I am reading it wrong.1) Wyoming goes through everyone’s first choice before moving to second choices, the chance of drawing unit 23 antelope second choice is 0%2) Neither antelope unit 63 or 23 are within the boundaries of Elk unit 23. Second choice special draw odds are 65% for unit 23 antelope with 1 point. And yes will be doing a bit of travel over the 5 days to get to unit 63 / 23 for antelope.I appreciate ya'll making me double check my numbers!

Looks like the Wyoming legislature is going to pass the increase on A/D/E special NR licenses. Elk will be close to $2000 and deer and antelope will be $1200 each. It just passed its third reading in the Wyoming legislature. Won’t affect this years prices but it will next year. It wii have an impact on drawing odds this year I do believe. Doesn’t affect the 60% quota in the regular. Just the 40% of the quota in special.
