Congrats on your 1st bull !!
Happy to hear you enjoyed Wyoming as well.


Wyoming does have reduced price cow tags if you are ever interested, some have no draw but all of the reduced price cow tags take no PPs.

Nice looking 6 x 6 congrats on the harvest

You would be crazy not to be putting in for your kids. They get points/licenses for a much reduced rate in most states. They can be building points for pennies and enjoy some fantastic hunts when they are my age.

Waiting until you are in your 50's to start applying is a tough hill to climb. By the time you are eligible for some of those coveted limited entry units your body isn't in the shape to hunt them. If you are in your 30's or 40's I still think its worth it.

Wyoming doesn't require a ton of points to get a general elk tag in the western part of the state. I think you are pretty much guaranteed to get one as a non-resident if you have 6 points. In the grand scheme of things, that isn't that long to wait.

Very nice bull

Congratulations

Not easy to do

Congrats! Hopefully you had an easy pack out..

It's a good thing they don't taste like they smell. Lol

Ol dad

It took me 6 points to draw this year.

This is something I am already thinking about for next year. I have antelope and deer points, but that's a long way for that amount of meat; if I could get a cow tag, it would be that much better.

I wouldn't say an easy pack out but I know it could have been much worse. Was about 1.5 miles in blowdown

Nice bull elk.Congrats

If you're just starting you'll never draw a tag. You will be forever subject to the random draw, and that doesn't require any points. Your basically throwing that point money away.


Last time I looked (several years ago) there were 163,000 people with points standing in line in front of you.


7500 nr tags/year


163,000 ÷ 7500 = 22years



Except there are more than than 163k waiting in line now.
