I think WGFD wardens are going to make a little revenue for the state on that change. Will take some mighty restraint to pass on giants to shoot raghorns, especially if you didn't know the change going in.Yep, some guys are in for a shock.

Mine hit my card 5/19 last yearHow does Wyoming refund? Back to the card?
What giants might they be? When was the last time you saw a giant in unit 100?I think WGFD wardens are going to make a little revenue for the state on that change. Will take some mighty restraint to pass on giants to shoot raghorns, especially if you didn't know the change going in.
The vast majority of even Type 1 tags in 100 are filled with 280-300 type 6 points or 5 pts. Cant imagine anyone that would be happy with a 5 pt getting pissy about having to limit to 4 pt. Sure did not hear of an extraordinary amount of non-legal bulls last year. Not sure the change with make it worse. This unit is patrolled heavily. Seeing a warden is darn near a guarentee.I think WGFD wardens are going to make a little revenue for the state on that change.

Yep, that was me. You are absolutely right, @Addicting. I thought that I had drawn with six points in the Special draw but after further review, looks like I did draw that single random tag. Wow. Feeling very blessed to be heading to Wyoming with that tag.Had to edit this to the new draw result. Your right he drew the one random tag.
It took over 8 points in the special.
At no point did I throw scores around or even mention B&C. Nor did I intend to start a debate about the top 15 elk units in Wyoming. Any big mature bull would be a giant by my definition. Im not really sure why you're being hyper-critical of the definition of such a ubiquitous term.Hang some pictures of a 350 bull that's come from unit 100, better yet a booner.
I guess if you think any 6x6 is a giant, different story.
The only reason to hunt 100 is the unique country, surely not for a "giant" bull elk. That unit wouldn't even be in my top 15 if I were looking for a giant bull elk in Wyoming.
I think its fair to let hunters burning tons of points on tags like 100 that there are very, very few giant elk found there.At no point did I throw scores around or even mention B&C.

Maybe some day before I die of old age I'll draw a tag in that part of the world and see it for myself. Now back to the thread...
OofIn the unit I applied, the odds for regular ended up better than the odds for special........ If I had stuck with cheaper option, I would have a tag.
Yep, some guys are in for a shock.
Or, a tag application service made the decision. I recall when Cabela's Application Service sent the AZ Sheep apps a day late...so not only did all those hopeful applicants not have a chance to get a tag that year, they also did not get a Sheep point that year and lost the Loyalty Point for the next 5 draws. Ouch. Details are important.Draw odds posted. One guy burned 13 points on a general tag in the regular draw and 2 people burned 11 points on the general tag in the special draw. I would think those 2 must be special because I think they should have realized that with 11 points they would have drawn the same tag for $400 less in the general with a high degree of confidence.
Looks like it took > 4 points for both the regular and the special draw for the general tag as rmyoung1 noted.
I drew a random one tag deal, too. When is the next flight to Vegas?Yep, that was me. You are absolutely right, @Addicting. I thought that I had drawn with six points in the Special draw but after further review, looks like I did draw that single random tag. Wow. Feeling very blessed to be heading to Wyoming with that tag.
Absolutely.Ahead of next year’s price increase, point-dumpers were out in force.
NR General tag Special with 4 points: 29% successful
NR General tag Regular with 4 points: 9% successful
Pic heavy?I will be there general tag with 5points in the regular....going to be busy this fall
Haven't elk hunted in WY in a few years. Didn't apply this year. Can someone please explain the elk antler restrictions? Just curious and didn't find anything in a quick search.I think the new tag caught a lot of would-be applicants off guard last year. I also think the change from 5-pt to 4-pt will surprise a lot of this year's tag holders.
