I was blessed this year. So now I have to see if that blessing rides over to the actual hunting. I have buck deer, buck antelope and bull elk tags.
I am going to also get some doe deer tags later if I can. Maybe a doe antelope too.

I noticed the same thing, the increase in applicants was crazy this year - more reasons for me to be a Wyoming resident sooner that later Do it!

Between the wife and I we have 3 doe antelope and 2 buck tags. I drew my second choice which I wasn’t expecting and don’t know anything about. So far I haven’t heard great things about F. Hopefully we can put it together, this will be my wife’s first high country mule deer hunt.

No luck on antelope for my son and I. High draw odds but not 100%.
We both have General elk tags.

I drew my 2nd choice either-sex antelope and two doe/fawn tags. It should be a good year with the OTC and draw tags I got back home in Saskatchewan.

Wife and I both drew cow/calf elk tags near our house!
Let the fun begin on our first fall in WY!
We both have: - 2 doe antelope - 1 doe deer - 1 cow elk
should be a fun learning experience chasing critters. Next year we get resident tags :-)

Myself, my dad and my niece got 2 doe tags each, area 38.
Seems to take about 3 years to get drawn now. Cant seem to get a buck tag anymore tho.

I did well this year (so far....Tags are not as good as meat)
I and my wife have enough elk, deer and antelope tags to fill all the freezers if we get all the game, as well as to help out 4 elderly folks we go to church with, who are now to a point in their lives they cannot hunt themselves anymore. 3 are "old Ranch Wives" and love game meat, but being in poor health and in their 90s, they can't go get it anymore. One man is in his late 60s but has both keens in such bad shape he can't walk without crutches. So my wife and I do it for them if we get all the tags we want. This year we drew 2 bull elk, 1 buck deer, 3 doe deer, 2 antelope buck and 3 antelope doe tags, totaling 11 combined.
We hope to be a real blessing to the old folks at church and fill everyone's freezers for Thanksgiving Christmas and the coming winter. Barbra, the oldest of the 4 is a lady who was on one of the larger ranches on the Sweet Water river in Wyoming for over 60 years. She and her husband ran about 20 ranch hands all those years and in the hunting season she and her sister, and her brother in law would do the skinning, butchering and processing of all the game on the ranch in their meat house and cold rooms. Talking to her is just a joy. She told me "Kid (I am in my mid 60s and I am "kid" to her) I have shot skinned and butchered more game then you have and I am sure of that. When I figure out that about 20 cowboys and ranch-workers were hunting every year for 60 years and in those days getting 5-10 head per worker was common, she is probably right. 20 hands X 60 years X lets say 7 head a year as an average, would be 8,400 head of game. Yeah..........that's more then I have done. She is so fun to talk to because she was an avid hunter and loved to shoot and comes from the era of my father and so you get a very good over view of how hunting was done commonly in the depressions and all through the WW2 years clear through the 70s and you can see how things change and how they don't I find the old lady has a lot of good wisdom concerning guns and ammo too.
She would rail against some hunters when they would bring in game "Quit blowing them up ya moron" It's funny to listen to her stories. And she knows what she is talking about to. At 98 she is still sharp and her mind is very clear.
