Do you know if the outfitters have a way to get the names and addresses of people with points? The last two years, the amount of wyoming outfitters that have contacted me is unreal

Do you check the release of info box when you apply?

Curious how many PMs the OP has gotten. Not asking to share, but I’m sure there are plenty of folks who just want to use their points anyways and are happy to help another guy out.

Zero, everyone on this forum is generally pretty snotty. I forgot why I quit coming on here. Now I remember.

I'm not gunna lie.....if an outfitter contacted me to share my points and I had a free access to deer that were 160+ on ranches so I did not have to scout and they showed me where they were... I would do it...and I think many would...

It’s unchecked every time you look at it, even if you checked it years before.

I still get mail from the outfitters who got my info the one year I checked it.

Maybe it’s you and not the HT group that is the problem.

I'm getting that too but I'm getting phone calls and emails directly from outfitters asking me what my plans are for using my points. "you know the west general tag only took 5 points this year and you have over double that. you can come and hunt here and bring along a buddy that can party app with you and we can help you"

Don't need to check anything, your info is public record.

How big of bulls you have? Is there a tractor available? Would be my questions.

Good. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. It’s individuals like you that try to work around the system in such a way that has created the complexity we have today. And you don’t even recognize why it’s shady.

The whole point splitting thing is so shady. There’s big money involved with it. I personally know of some guys who pay huge money through “outfitter” to get hooked up with people splitting points. These people that split points with them never even use their tag. It’s a complete scam. Buy points every year and then cash out for big profit. Buy points for grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, kids, whoever and when they have enough points just sell/split with guys who are willing to cough up serious money. It reminds me of some black market deal or voter fraud. Hell, there’s probably dead people still buying points every year. Haha.
If you have big money you can hunt top tier every year, points or no points.

That isn't exactly true. The units taking max or near max points are still requiring that and you can't point share into those hunts. So that can't be what you are calling top tier then right?

I would venture to guess that the bulk of the point sharing with outfitters is for general tags which take about 5 years to draw. There are a lot of people with 9-12 points so the sharing is occurring in that range is my guess.
