    Point creep casualty

    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. More...

    The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

    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.

    Fiberglass Truck Topper

    Govdeals I paid around $150 for mine.

    China Milu Deer

    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.

    Wyoming proposed regs

    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.

    Rebuilding a rig instead of buying new

    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...

    2002 Toyota Tundra Access Cab

    That truck looks perfect for its intended purpose.

    The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

    The factory ammo is knocking on 1 MOA. Should be plenty good to kill an elk.

    AZ License Expiration

    Arizona likes to surprise you. Usually cc hits happen within a day or so of the cc update deadline.

    Wyoming elk special NR draw

    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.

    camper shell or small trailer?

    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.

    App fee increase bill

    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...

    App fee increase bill

    That includes preference point fees also though, right?

    Black Hills camping/fishing?

    Never fished there, but have stayed at the Custer Game Lodge campgrounds. We loved the place.

    Long term hunt planning

    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...

    2025-26 Season plans?

    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.

    Ram 1500 misfire

    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.

    Montana pronghorn draw

    I burned my 8 points and drew a tag. Should be a fun fall.
