good luck frogman send me some pics. when you kill a biggin Hey M, good to hear from you! Absolutely will do that! I regret we never had a chance to hunt Hogs together before I left Florida. You should have seen one of the young men helping me load my stuff for the trip, when he latched onto that old pot that you had given me the lead in it for casting bullets......he went to jerk it off the floor and struggled saying "Damn this thing is heavy!" LOL Be safe! Frog---OUT!

Good luck on the hunt. I was a 25 year resident of Afton. Took some dandy bucks during that time. Region G is rough country. Tough as any sheep country. I too have Max. points but I'll start looking for a lower elevation sage brush/aspen hunt to apply. PS: My knee replacement surgery was 6 weeks ago. I'm planning on the other knee this winter.

Funny you should say that....my right knee was done 7 weeks ago today. The left is schedule for demo and rebuild on Sept 9! Need to get it completed while still having medical coverage. I lived in Michigan for close to 40 years, Muskegon area, but traveled to Da UP ay often for Fishing. Been through Bark River once or twice....LOL Used to fish LBDN often during my years a Tournament Walleye angler. Have a great day! Frog---OUT!

Good morning, everyone! Reviving this thread to see if there's any fresh information after the past season? Will be busy moving to Wyoming in January (Bought a small place there in November!) so want to get the choice for my application ready so that once Jan 1 rolls around I can submit it and be done with it.
Have a great day and Thanks for all your suggestions!
Frog---OUT!

Book with an outfitter in Region G or H. Tell them you have max points, you should be able to split them with another client and save some money on your hunt. This! Contact Tre Heiner at double diamond outfitters. He and his crew are the best! https://www.doublediamondoutfitters.com/Andy3 This 👆🏻 Tre is excellent at what he does (307) 730-4868 Cell

What part of the state is welcoming you ?
G is not what it was, still produces big bucks but not like years past.
I would talk with one of the guys living on the West side of Wyoming and pick their brains about areas that get less attention and have mature bucks. I'm thinking in the sage country maybe.
With time to scout and good public access you may turn up a dandy down in the lower country or foothills.
Late season hunts are always inviting but in areas like 128 now you have tons of spotters ands helpers with the hunters, lots of folks hunting the same areas and bucks. Lots of stories out from this years hunt about numbers of folks.
You might wander over to say MonsterMuleys and look at threads Wyoming mule deer hunting.
January is a brutal time to move to Wyoming, safe travels and welcome.

I thought about calling the outfitters above, but given that I just had both knees replaced, and reading their website about top physical condition for this hunt was a MUST.....I don't think it will fit for me.
Guess I'll keep looking ay other areas with at least an opportunity for a nice buck.
Thank you all for the replies!

Burn those suckers up. Big changes coming to NR tags in WY and a big price jump.
Well...you'll be a resident now so that may not affect you much. Hell, it may help. You won't have to burn as many points.

Well perhaps I should contact WF&G to get some clarification. I have been under the impression that NR points are separate from Resident points. It takes a year in Wyoming to become a Resident for hunting license purposes, so figured I'd burn up the point during this year in transition........
