So glad I dropped out of that game many moons ago. But I probably could have hunted sheep by now. I can't hardly remember seems it was late 90s? Maybe early 2000s. Back when hunting was affordable. Lol
WY Moose units with 14pts
- Thread starter Lobster.mike
- Start date
I've heard people say 1,000+ times that "it's not about the size of the rack, it's about spending time with friend and family, enjoying the outdoors, the meat, etc." If that's true, then people should be willing to drop 2 grand for a cow, just as they would a bull.

Beauty of a bull Buzz. Truth is back during those times money was tight and points were cheap. The price increase put me out even though it was only 50$ I believe when it went up. I am in a better situation career wise now days and things are a little different. Just goes to show how these increases weeds more people out of the sport than we sometimes realize. I can't say that's a good direction. I do think Wyoming is a well managed state though don't get me wrong. I hope to chase animals there this year myself.

I only see one unit you would have a good shot at for bulls outside of the random draw. That unit is about 50% wilderness which as a non res would require a guide to hunt in the wilderness area. That is if I'm looking at the regs correctly

Glad I have 16 points! Sad i have 16 points too.
So glad I didn't drop out...
Lame post as a resident. I am glad you got in when they gave enough tags to make it worth it but you are not invested in as much for the crappy odds as a nonresident. Or maybe you are worried that my prediction is right and WY got a little too greedy this time and it will bite them in the long term. I just hope nonresidents really know what the odds are for the $$ but unless by miracle the moose population triples to what it was 20 years ago only a fool would pay $150 thinking he has more than a prayer. 47 bull tags for 11,818 applicants.... Here's a wiser move, go to Vegas and put that $150 on a 100:1 odds bet and if you win go to the Yukon fully guided with Jim Shockey LOL

16 isn't a bad place to be if you are young enough to wait it out and hope the 90/10 split never happens. I would stay in if I had that many points.

You could always apply to Idaho and hope you get lucky.
In the lower 48 drawing a moose tag isn't easy.
Utah gives like 3 or 4 of them to non residents a year.
In comparison, Wyoming with 47 is quite good. I think Idaho can give up to 60 or so.

I'll draw another one...wait and see.
Why are you comparing yourself like a nonresident? Your odds and cost are not even in the same playing field.

My odds are worse as a NR in Montana, but my 3rd Shiras tag is going to come from there. I have a good feeling about 2018...I'm due to hit a good tag.
I don't give up.
