Probably a not so common "problem". Yes, I know I shouldn't have accrued so many points and gotten into what many call "no-man's land". Here's the deal, 4 of us have 11 points each for WY deer. Wife and one daughter want nothing to do with a high country excruciating deer hunt. They love prairie/sage type antelope hunting and would prefer a deer hunt in that type of less rugged terrain or slightly more difficult terrain. Nothing crazy. The other daughter and I will do whatever it takes to find a good buck worthy of our 11 points each. So, here's my thoughts, you can call me crazy if you like... Take the Mrs., and one daughter to easier terrain hunts over the next two years in the same unit that is worthy of 11 points but not wasting too many points like on a 3 point unit. Hopefully by the end of those hunts the other tougher daughter and I will know whether we should burn our points there also or move on and maybe just hunt Region G ?? The units I'm looking at for the first two hunts so far are 37,22,10. Any words of wisdom or suggestions? PMs welcome. Thanks guys!

I’m in nearly the same boat but just me and my son. I put in for another species tag in an area to “pre scout” a deer unit. High plains with sage. It’s not an 11 point deer unit but it will actually potential give me two deer hunts. One by myself and then I can apply under my son’s points. I’ll never catch up to the super premium areas so I figure this is next best way for me. Hope this made sense

G is not worth the points. It used to be, but the winter kill and it being a resident general tag has changed that. I absolutely wouldn’t waste any points to hunt there. You need to look at an area that is not a general resident tag.

I’m also in the 11 point club for Wyoming. I’d say the idea of picking a unit and going to learn it is a solid one with the possibility of going back by splitting points. I was in region g this past year with my gf. She drew it in the random draw. It’s really cool country but we had a hard time finding deer numbers are definitely super low.
