I'll only buy points this year since I have an antelope hunt, a couple deer hunts and an elk hunt already and I don't want to further muddy the water.
The Game & Fish will get more money from me for nothing (except points) this year.

Want to take a stab and predict what odds will be for Region G with 4 points in the special draw?
I'm selling back a week of vacation at work this week and apply on Thursday.
Regardless if I draw or not, I will be in Wyoming this summer scouting.

4PPs was a 90% draw last year in the Special, so my guess is it will drop to 50% this year, maybe a little lower or better, but nothing near 100%. I wish you luck Sir, as it's a fantastic area with some gorgeous country!

I've seen the odds for the last few years. Last year was 89.9%. You are correct.
A friend thinks this year, 4 points will be 70-75% odds. I thought closer to 50%
Guess we will see. Cross your fingers and pray for me?

I'm guessing it'll take 5 points in the special to draw G and 5.5 in the regular. If you factor in the random tags, maybe a hair better. I wouldn't think 4 points would do it.
It doesn't sound like you found anyone to share points with BillyBoB?

Unfortunately I didn't. I have met and talked to a few awesome people on this site who have given me some sound advice. A couple have offered to share points with me but have fewer points than myself. So there is no real benefit there considering the work I will be putting in this summer.
I was alittle shocked to be honest. For a couple reasons.
1-I have helped others on this site before through Pms and conversations. But have also helped some in the field.
2- I thought it was a fair trade. But my offer was only going to help someone in my same situation. Except for where they sat with points. Maybe I asked too late. Who knows. But I wasn't going to ask for a hand out.
I'm sure there are many on this site, you included, who understands a hunters dream to chase mule deer in that country. Which was why I mad the proposal to begin with. I don't want to buy another point and wait another year. I'm just that guy who wants that opportunity while I'm fairly still young enough to get around up there.
If I don't draw Wyoming...then I'll be perfectly content with chasing after some big deer in the unit I drew in Utah.
How is your scouting service going? Any takers?

All depends on NV. If I draw a tag in NV it will be points. If I don't I have 8 antelope points burning a hole in my pocket.

I just put my dad in for Region G low price. He has 1 point, so drawing is not likely. I'm a resident and will just buy a general tag for deer.

We are in for lopes. Put in the special draw as I really want to take a buddy who is trying to kill a lope with a very special rifle his dad left to him. Hoping to draw, no guarantee.

Waiting for NV results tomorrow before putting in. If not I am burning my 9 Antelope points on 57 or 61 or 64! Not really sure what to do with my 9 deer points at this point.. Good problems to have i guess....
Will hopefully draw our pronghorn tag this year. As far as deer, still collecting till pronghorn points are gone. Then will apply for deer, want to space out my out of state hunts so I don't have so many in one year. Want to enjoy them and not feel pressured on any...
Elk will be the last one to be applied for in WY (2018???? would be great, that means I draw the other two in '16 and '17
).

Best wishes to all those that are putting in to draw out this year. Hunting Wy has always been one of the highlights of the years that i have drawn and gone. I'm PP's only this year but will be seriously after getting drawn for both lopes and deer next year, my last out of state trip.
Good Luck guys!!

128 deer also
I ended up putting in for region G with 5pts in the special draw. With all the talk of G this season I'm not even sure that 5pts will be guaranteed for a tag this season!
With a few mild winters in a row and point creep really kicking in, I figured it's now or possibly never. Once the results come out I'll have to begin my scouting plans since this will be my first trip to the Wyoming range.

You should've put with all the hype of G this season.
One thing no one is talking about was the huge fawn die off during the winter of 2010. Those bucks would've been hitting their prime this year. How come we never get to see all the pic's of the 130 & 140 bucks that guys are shooting towards the end of their hunts.

Did you put in a second choice since your average will be a PP or two short even in the Special Draw for 95 unless you get lucky in the Random Draw?

TOPGUN, we put 100 as 2nd choice. Nothing 3rd. 100 looks as hard to draw, so not expecting it either. Not wanting to draw just to draw. Probably just go once, then be done. Looking at units not far to drive from my buddies in Salt Lake. I'm in Northern Nevada. Trying to hunt Nevada, Utah, now antelope in Wyoming is alot for me. Kids are starting to hunt now. Probably done over there once I draw.

You're really only looking at a long shot in the Random Draw for 95 since you don't have enough PPs to draw it and last year there were 338 first choice applicants for only 8 tags. There is no way you can draw 100 as a second choice since last year there were 222 first choice applicants for just 5 tags in the Random Draw.

put in as a group (myself, two brothers, and dad) with an avg of 6.5 NR points in the special draw for 67 antelope. We struck out on elk tags this year so we decided to cash our points. Shouldn't have an issue drawing, it will be our first antelope hunt so we're looking forward to it!
I am going to be on the sidelines this year until I establish my Wyoming residency. I will be a resident just in time for spring turkey season in 2017.
