Wyoming elk who's in?

[Ridgerunner]

Who is throwing their name in the hat to chase elk in Wyoming this fall?

[CJ1962]

I will be throwing my hat in the ring, but with only 1 pt don't expect to get to go.

[dvolmer]

I will with my 14 points. of course I will be chasing units that need 15 plus. Im as dumb as ever!!!

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Do you guys use the points you have coming into the draw to determine where to apply, or do you get an additional point when applying?

[BULLBLASTER]

You go in with your current number of points. You dont get a point at all for applying, you have to buy them later in the year.

[Dan-o]

3 points, and getting older every year.     :'(

[Skyvalhunter]

16 applying for a wilderness area, then will update choices after the final commission next numbers come out.

[High Climber]

[actionshooter]

I know someone w 19, not sure 16 will even sniff a draw unit. 

[finnman]

Going combo! Yes it seems odd, but it’s a premium antelope hunt with a cow tag elk hunt attached. The unit is about 9-10 points for antelope but cow elk is only 1-2 points. So we are going combo and it should be a blast.

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.

[Caseknife]

Plenty of units 16 pts will get you in with an outfitter in the wilderness.

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?

5 points should get you a tag in the regular or special draw this year with no problem. 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.

15pts and put in for unit 7!

[High Climber]

15pts and put in for unit 7!

Right on, keep us posted on that one are you going with an outfitter if you pull a tag or sticking to public ground? 

[BoomWhop]

11 points here, no one to go with. Thinking 2-3 years away to go for it. 1 Shot for a 340 bull. Anyone with advice or want to team up?

[CaNINE]

I’m in for the western zone general but will need to hit the random. 

[Craig]

I will be in with max points. not sure what unit yet. but still low draw odds for all the units on the short list.

[KDB]

Have an outfitter for unit 7 lined up if I draw. I’ll be 74 soon so I want to improve my odds of a nice bull.

[Ghost Hunter]

2023 was likely my last, unless I go to spot for my son.

[finnman]

Okay I lied earlier…I am one less then max…so I went special elk in a popular unit. A few guys I know have hunted elk there and had a blast. We will see how it goes…..

 

[3nails]

 Just put in for 19-1 with 13 points. First time applying for Wyo. Anyone hunted this unit?
