I'm 65, have 5 preference points and will have 6 going into the 2022 application period.
I'm in good shape, for my age, after having a hip replacement that let me do the work needed to get my conditioning back. I was still powerlifting in competition, national champion 10 years ago, so hard work and weight are no strangers to me. I've been hunting WY for many years, but only antelope and deer, and elk kinda half hearted, which as I've learned doesn't cut it.
I have good field craft/survival skills, and am very familiar with WY's dangers. Still, I hunt alone and don't like hunting with griz. I strongly prefer DIY. I build my rifles, ammo, and do my own game processing (quartering/boning at a minimum), commonly on site.
My goal is to get a bull elk in the next three years (2022-24) before old man time catches up with me too close.
I have time on my hands and can scout when others can't, so before applying for a tag I intend to scout the area pre-season and during the season to understand movement and hunting pressure.
I am looking at areas 33 and 25, and want informed input. Also, WY doesn't have a muzzle loader season, and anyone that hunts in Co that has thoughts on a muzzle loading area with decent draw odds with no PP, I'd love to hear about it.
