Just a reminder that preference points for Wyoming elk and deer are now on sale.

BIgNasty,
Nope, you gotta wait until next year. Those of us whom the Wyoming Licensing gods hate (me) get to grab a point this year. What a consolation prize, eh?

True unless the license you drew was a second choice. You only lose points if you draw your first choice tag and you can buy a point if you don’t draw your first pick.

Not applying for WY. I may hunt it again but only as the caller. I'm not much for putting in for tags. I really do love the challenges OTC has to offer!

You don’t have to get serious about playing the points game Paul. Just rack up 2 points and buy the general license. That’s the Wyoming version of otc. Great hunting in the 53 units you can hunt with that tag.
