Wyoming Reminder

Postby Indian Summer » 10 06, 2017 •  [Post 1]

The deadline to buy preference points is the last day of October. Even if you don't plan on hunting the Cowboy State in the next year or two do yourself a big favor and buy one. $50 and 5 minutes is all it takes.

Will I lose them if I don't hunt a year? Or is Wyoming like Colorado where you hold onto your points year after year.
I'm planning on going to Wyoming but I know it will not be next year.

I believe you can skip 3 years without buying a license or purchasing additional points and still retain your current points. That's the way it used to be.

Maybe that changed. It's been 10 years since I've read the rule on that.

This ^^^. Skip one year, you're okay. Skip a second year in a row, they're gone.

Yes, I am addicted to elk. No, I don't need help, I just need a tag.
