I think they average out the points of all in the party. Better call wyo G&F for the real story. I wouldn't burn 11 points for ANYBODY!

you wont get a draw on a second area no way check out the odds on the Wy game and fish web site. If I was you I would bag it this year they are going to reduce the number of permits because of drought loss last couple years and this year on fawns.

Is there a quality unit next to one of the ones he put in for ? If so you could at least camp together

All good answers so far. I'm sitting on one preference point right now and if a buddy told me he'd burn his 11 just to go hunting with me I'd tell him he's a fool!

Also, how good are his odds of drawing anything with 0 points?

With him putting in for 73, 72, and 34 with 0 points his chances of drawing is a tag is almost zero!

As grumpa mentioned, if you enter as a "party" your points are averaged. He'd have to be a very good friend for you to give him half of your 11 points.

Note that he can still withdraw his entries and then re-enter up until the June 1 deadline.

The draw odds for past years are published on the Wy F&G website. For the units you mentioned his chances are next to nothing in the non-res random draw. If he had applied in the non-res special draw for unit 34 as 1st choice in 2020 he would have had a 50% chance of drawing. In 2019 he would have drawn a tag for sure (20 tags, 13 applicants). Using the past odds can be helpful but is no guarantee of future success due to a variety of reasons.

South Dakota uses the lowest number of preference points. You would burn them all by going with him here. Is the unit you're trying to get really small in number...? 11 preference points to get a WY goat tag seems like a lot.
