The success numbers are pretty deceiving IMO since they dont show numbers for private vs public- it could be a huge variance depending on which you are hunting.If your goal is just opportunity, I would just pick the unit you think looks most fun. Check out the success #'s for Wyoming antelope. Most units it's 80+% so your going to get a buck. If you want something with size for your 4-5 years of points you will find them in a 4 point unit. It will just take more work like any other kind of hunting.
And they are made up...only estimated. Wyoming doesnt have have harvest reporting requirements.The success numbers are pretty deceiving IMO since they dont show numbers for private vs public- it could be a huge variance depending on which you are hunting.
Right small subset that responds are what numbers are based onAnd they are made up...only estimated. Wyoming doesnt have have harvest reporting requirements.
Not made up but based on the responses they get from surveys. If hunters lie on their surveys then you get that data.And they are made up...only estimated. Wyoming doesnt have have harvest reporting requirements.
Well everybody, I feel like I have now put myself in an odd spot in the Wyoming draw. I originally planned on burning my points every 1-2 years on lesser “quality” units. But I have had some things come up and now I’m sitting with 4 points. I understand I can draw a couple of decent hunts with where I’m at in the point game. If you were in my shoes would you burn the points or continue to gain points until you’re let’s just say in that 8 + point range?
I would highly suggest subscribing to Gohunt, Toprut or another service. There are a number of units that would provide much better than 10% odds in a good unit.2021 is going to be my first out-of-state rifle hunt. Wyoming Antelope is what I'm going to target. I've been reading on here a lot over the last couple months. Without any points, me and a friend are going to put in for doe tags. I might also put in for the random draw, but it looks to be a long shot to get a buck tag, way less then 10%.
I've been studying the 2020 and 2019 draw results and comparing them to units with "better" public land. I learned very quickly, that its a long shot to even get doe tags in a unit with prime public land. It was a little disheartening at first, but feel like I have it narrowed down to a couple units I'll be happy hunting with mediocre public land and mediocre doe draw odds.
With all of that, I need a little luck for 2021!!!
I know that I'm a newbie here, so I'm not expecting much help. I hope everyone is having a great winter and enjoying the time planning for a great fall of 2021!
