2023 Wyoming?

[KayakMacGyver]

Unsuccessful with 3.5 in special for general

Dang it man, that's disappointing. I'm curious if 4 points was even enough to guarantee it this year.

 

[Trucker]

No luck with max points. Might change up my choices next year.

 

[TOGIE]

Gen Elk with 6 points. no surprises there.

Nope

No love in Wyoming for me this year. Guess I'll go kill fish in Alaska instead come September.

 

[BeartoothFront]

No luck. Somewhat relieved the way this fall is shaking out.

Successful on general elk with 4 points in special. Saw this posted elsewhere, it's depressing. Wonder what it means for the future of the general tag. How long until lots of general tags are being hunted UT posse hunter style.

 

[Dsnow9]

Struck out on a general tag with a group averaging four but picked up a cow tag! So there will at-least be a little elk hunting on the docket!

4 points in the regular for general and we didn’t draw.

 

[Duck-Slayer]

Average 4 pts between 2 of us regular draw and we ……..













Drew!!!!
There will be packgoats in grizzly country this September!

It would have been nice to know I would have 100% drawn my tag…. before I withdrew my application.

Actually that’s not accurate. I would have wanted to know before applying in UT. Now I’ll wait for the inevitable rejection there and pray CO 2nd or 3rd choice comes through. Every year gets harder to guess where I’ll actually hunt!

Wow, that's depressing. The tag has been publicized like crazy by hunting media and its starting to show/hurt.

About 12,400 nr applied for gen tags this year out of the 162,000+ with points. Of that 162K probably 80,000 bothered to even apply for a hunt. The "vast majority" applying for gen tags isn't reality.

This is hilarious and somehow gives me hope!

So Wyoming Game and Fish generated $145,000 of revenue for the credit card companies just in service charges on nonresident bighorn sheep applications that were in the random draw.

I bailed years ago with no regrets. Just pissing money away with those odds. I’d buy Bitcoin before I applied there. CO, NV & AZ provide me a flicker of hope for far less.

Heads up my refunds just posted for antelope and deer if anyone is waiting.

Leftover draw closing bell will ring tonight. Hope you find some luck and I hope can go back to Wyoming.

I ended up with a 41-7 cow/calf elk tag. This will be my first western hunt and am beyond excited. Going with a buddy from the corps, who holds the same tag. I believe we have a good start with onx and constant WGFD calls haha. If anyone has hunted this area (can only hunt north of trapper creek) and would be willing to share ANY advice I will find a way to send MI atlantic salmon to ya haha. I have some worries about the roads that I will actually be able to access and things of that nature. Not looking for a 10 digit grid point.
