What are the odds that every single person with 7 points draws, but nobody at 6 points? Pretty low, tag allotments and number of drawn hunters rarely work out to nice even numbers like that.
I bet, with more than 97% confidence, 551 ML will not work out to a clean 100% at 7 and 0% at 6.

This might sound silly, but practice hiking with the sticks a bit. I recently began using some, and it took a little time to get my rhythm figured out. It does making covering ground quickly feel much easier though.
Maybe think twice about poaching those hogs? I think I would want to avoid the organ donor factory.
Seriously though, have you gotten a good grip of the language? If not, I’m sure you will spending 4 months per year there.
I have no faith in the projected odds when changes such as tag quotas, season dates, antler restrictions, etc. occur.
The few hunts I looked at in the projected odds section showed roughly 1 additional point required over last year, pretty standard point creep.
Not really a true rebuild, but I bought my current hunting truck from a government auction. It needed a cam/lifter job.
I had a shop swap in a Jasper rebuild with MDS delete. It also needed a fuel pump. I put a small lift on it, along with a topper from another government auction.
It’s...
I went Regular, 2% random odds. I do have better odds in the reduced price draw for a cow tag, fingers crossed. I intend to draw in Colorado this year, so don’t really need to throw the extra cash at Wyoming this time.
You can get a used topper for almost nothing. I got mine, practically new condition, for $150 through a government auction. Makes a great mobile camp for solo hunts.
I guess technically you’re right.
A better way to put it is it’s roughly $150 to apply and build points in Colorado.
My point was that it’s not a true equivalency, since you still are paying up to a few hundred $$ in Wyoming for preference points later in the summer, depending on the...
My strategy is to keep a reserve of PTO and throw as many applications out as is sensible. You’ll get a few lucky draws, and eventually accumulate enough points to draw some tags predictably. After about 10 years, I now have way more options than time for drawing hunts. You have to keep your...
The plan is:
Oklahoma hogs
Colorado early rifle deer
Colorado muzzleloader elk
Indiana deer
Shoot for the moon everywhere else
The plan always changes several times over during application season.
If you end up replacing the motor, Jasper makes an MDS-deleted motor that I believe takes out a lot of the cam and lifter issues. I had one installed in my truck a couple years ago and still get 19-20 mpg on stock-sized 10-ply tires.
