Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Wyo. Deer

That ain't no kidding. Seen a guy get nailed because he shot a doe right there in someone's yard near 34 and tunnel rd.

I have 8 deer points, a booking agent and an outfitter told me to keep buying points and wait at least two years! At 66 I’m going to be cutting it close.

The outfitter situation is way easier. 5 or 6 points will get you a great hunt. The diy deal, you might as well just go hunting.

Frank, sittin on max, “18”, gonna hold onto em for a couple more years, hopefully we get some decent winters.

Yup. I just say hell with it and go. There's some decent 4 to 5 point units. Just depends on how hard you wanna hunt. Heck I think 2 points gets you the entire se/4 of the state if you want.

I’ve tried, 18 years of pp and a $1200 tag I’m not just gonna go huntin when I can kill 170” bucks in easy draw general states. Wyoming bucks and bulls will be my holy grail, like the booner antelope I killed a few years ago I killed over there. Ymmv

Yup, as it looks now I'll likely sit out another year before I burn my points. Thats the tough part about having this many, you have to hope things line up when you finally want to use them!

That’s what I’m doing too……..

Why would you pay 1200 bucks?

Probably cause I don’t wanna wait another 45 years to hunt.

Maybe 80 years with the regular draw.? I dunno why I’d pay $1200 after 18 years of of points? Fuuck who knows??

So you view the special draw as mandatory. That's crazy, 18 points and can't find an area to hunt.......weird.

Ya the units I wanna hunt, are “special “. 18 points, and “special” is where I’m at, and where I’m at for the long haul. Is that “ok”?

Sorry for being able to hunt Blacktail, whitetail, muley, Rocky and Roosevelt annually. 😘😆

Well, first off I'd say you might have to change what your expectations are already. "Respectable 4x4" can be a difficult thing to find in many areas of the state anymore. Seems to be more and more 3x3's running around.

Last year I was stuck with having to burn 17 points for Deer because I had moved here, and they would be useless this year as a resident. I was considering a hunt in the areas you mentioned and had to change it after the Winter kill in that area.

Good luck with your hunt and enjoy your time in the Wild!

Frog---OUT!

Dang, that sure is cool. Why even bother with Wyoming since Washington is Valhalla?

I'd be more than happy with a 30 inch 3x3 lol. I know, anything that forks past 20 inches will be a decent buck, but I ain't afraid to eat a tag either. I've got some good mule deer on the wall and a few whitetails over 180. I just like camping and hunting up there. Now if I could get an antelope tag every year, I'd rather just do that!

Ya it is, pretty good opportunity that’s for sure.👍

I’m hoping the new “special” tag price for antelope improves odds. We’ll see when the dust settles in a couple months. I’d go every year to hunt good goats

Man, I'm seriously considering throwing in for one, but 12 bills for a goat tag is getting steep.

I'm thinking the extra high special price will not result in any better odds. I'm also throwing in for the special (antelope) with hopes I'm wrong, but I'm not confident.

Judman - you should apply for the hunt we talked about last year. It would be an excellent one.
