@c0d95 don't feel bad, nothing wrong with asking. jvanhoy here provided you with exactly what you wanted. A lot of western states have different ways of doing big game draws and there are very few that are straight forward and easy to explain in a sentence. I don't think you can sum up the Wyoming draw in any less words than jvanhoy did and you can see its not a simple draw. I guess he did leave out how your choices work and that part of it but its simply just all applications first choices are looked at first and then onto the 2nd and 3rd choices where no points are used when it reaches that part of the draw.

So you figured out your mistake then….come here with the questions and don’t ask for a full explanation like you didn’t do any reading or research.
I suggest calling the DNR vs taking what a person on the internet says, half the time they are wrong.Shangobango

I realize now that I should’ve worded my question better! I’m planning on calling AND spending more time in the regs when I have a minute to really focus on it.don’t ask for a full explanation like you didn’t do any reading or research.

Seems like you have a fairly thick skin that'll serve you well around here. Oh and welcome to HT.

Seriously, in the amount of time it took to login, write a post, then check back and read all the responses, the OP could have been way better informed
Must be either a boomer or a Tidepod connoisseur, or a lazy gen X-er... really anything but the only hard working generation left, us Millennials.

I am a Millennial as well- when I posted it I didn’t have time to watch any videos and phrased my question poorly. It’s been since answered and then some- which I greatly appreciate- and I’m hoping to get some time this weekend to watch some videos on the subject.
I love learning and I freely admit I took the easy way with this post. I’ll be more calculated and educated in the future. Thanks for the video links!

Yep!! There are a lot of unhappy HT'ers out there, I think they are just unhappy people in general. Perhaps they should look on the positive side of things and be thankful they can speak freely and hunt.

HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST POSITIVITY???
You don't know what you don't know.
"It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so." -purportedly Mark Twain.
It would've been great if I had found this website or a similar one 20 years ago. I grew up in a state that basically only had whitetails for "big game". I had the understanding that only locals out west or wealthy types could hunt western big game. When I heard about the point game 20 years ago I knew next to nothing about it and had no friends or acquaintances that knew anything about it. My Google wasn't broken, but if you don't know where to look......
Just didn't know.
People on hunting forums are reluctant to share how to accrue points and how many they use for their respective hunts. This is understandable and somewhat frustrating at the same time.
OP, it's way easier for people to look down on you for ignorance when they don't want you in the same draw.
BTW, before you leave Washington State, see if WA offers a lifetime hunting license in case you may want to hunt as a resident after you leave or even return later. (If that type of license is available).
Good luck.

Appreciate the kind words! I love the wealth of information that is available on this forum alone!
Sadly, to my knowledge, they do not

Ponzi scheme to suck as much money out of suckers as possible. Hunt your own state and enjoy whatever awesome hunts are available for residents. For real adventure, fly to Hawaii or New Zealand and experience hunts of a lifetime.
This is part of their research? What's the difference between asking somebody on the phone vs asking on here?
Whoa whoa whoa…….
There is no logic and reason permitted on the internet!
HT is not for the sharing of experiences and propagation of hunting in the interest of conservation.
HT is for derision of other hunters who also seek the only clearly remaining representation of the particular game species which other hunters pursue.
HT is for bashing of the 6.5 creedmoor.
HT is for venomous and contentious debate of which bear defense caliber is best.
HT is for unabashed blind followership of the opticly omniscient SWAROS (I just felt everyone salute).
HT is also an avenue for revenue generation. Just not mine.
I kid I kid....
