Just wondering if it is worth still buying points for moose? I have 6 points now but wondering if I should just give up now?

I would certainly actually apply each year with the point option when Ya apply.
No one has ever drawn a Random tag with low points by just buying a Point.....they have drawn because they apply.
Go for it!

LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-14 AT 07:35AM (MST)[p]I finally drew with 13 points, happily and luckily- and I had considered giving it up. Here is the way I look at it-
There is a lot of talk in WY that they will reduce the non-resident allocation percentage down to 10% of the sheep, moose, goat permits. This would eliminate over half the non-res moose tags.
Then factor in that WY has not increased fees for a few years, so we can reasonably assume license and point fees are going up in the near future.
Random draws are only in the 1/2 to 1 percent range.
Unless you are young, want to invest thousands of dollars and wait until you are very old, I would say bail. The system will change at some point and may not benefit you.
I'd take the money and go hunt something today. Moose hunts in Canada are in the $3,000-5,000 range.

Can you get a cow tag with that many points?

If you will look in the Draw Odds section on the G&F website, you'll see that your PPs will easily get you a cow tag in any unit that offers a cow hunt and there are a number of them.

Great thanks Topgun!
If you want to go go for a cow, I'd put in next year for unit 1 up in the northeast area of the BigHorns. This year there were only 3 tags issued, but nobody with more than 3PPs applied. There are no wolves or grizzies up there and the moose population is doing very well. It's not uncommon to see a bunch right from the highway up off of 14 up there in the area of Burgess Junction.

Sweet! Greats that's what I will do instead of waiting until I'm 80 years old in a wheel chair! Thanks for all the information Topgun

Yeah I am going to go for a cow tag! I don't have 29 years left in me for hunting! I'm 52 now so that would make me pretty dang old!
