Wyoming Moose

Lefty280 · Apr 27, 2009

Anybody else getting jazzed for the Wyoming moose draw results, only about a week away. I've got 12 PP's and should have pretty goods odds of getting drawn

chipc · Apr 27, 2009

What unit did you apply for ? I have 10 points but I'm just buying another point this year. Trying to decide what to do in the future. GOOD LUCK ! Chip

habitat · Apr 27, 2009

Hope it wasn't for the same unit I applied for I have 10 but can't wait for results

rmanwill · Apr 27, 2009

Same for me. Just points, only have eight. Good luck with the draw and hopefully the hunt!!!!

dwalton · Apr 27, 2009

I'm hoping the wife draws.

Rem308 · Apr 27, 2009

I drew in 2002 ad took a nice bull in unit 18.Beautiful country and a great hunt.Packing out a moose 1 1/2 miles will put you thru the stress test of your life.It sure wll tell you if you got a good heart !I brought him out in 6 trips all by myself.

Lefty280 · Apr 28, 2009

I applied in the combined areas 38 and 41. I have 1 point less than the maximum. I was living in Wyoming when the preference point system was started and missed the application deadline 1 year during a move. It wasn't too bad just buying a point every year when they were $10 or $15, now it's kind of expensive.

Lefty280 · Apr 28, 2009

I hear ya Rem, I packed out a "small" moose by myself in Alaska, hopefully I won't have to do that again. I've already got a buddy signed up to go on the Wyoming hunt with me if I draw out.

inarcher · Apr 28, 2009

Will be buying my 10th point this year. Should be applying instead, but already had my 2009 hunts planned going in.

Good luck in the draw!

Triple_BB · Apr 28, 2009

LAST EDITED ON Apr-28-09 AT 11:04PM (MST)[p]I have 0 points and have as good a chance as Lefty of drawing 38. Drew it 5 years ago and I'm now back in the running. If you check the odds, you'll see that it will still be quite a few years before they get through all the current max point holders. That leaves approx 1500 - 1600 of us with less than max points trying to snag 2 or so random draw tags this season. Just hoping to draw again sometime in the next 20 years...

Rem308 · Apr 28, 2009

I am to old to start buying pref points again.For the cost of 10-14 years of buying points and then the cost of the license when I would draw,I can go to Newfoundland and hunt moose and don't have to wait 10 years to do it.
I guess my Wyoming moose was a once in a lifetime thing,but it was worth it!
Good luck every one .

Lefty280 · Apr 29, 2009

Actually of the 4 tags last year 3 were given to those with the maximum number of points and the 4th was given to a person with 1 less than the max

Drnaln · Apr 29, 2009

I'm also just short of max points but got tired of waiting so I applyed for a unit with better odds.Hoping to get the tag & hunt moose with a bow!
David

Triple_BB · Apr 29, 2009

Which 4 tags? The G&F's site inidcates they gave out 9 tags last year to max point holders and 3 more to the 1654 folks who were in the random draw...

Lefty280 · Apr 29, 2009

Check the non-res information. I was a bit off, there were 3 NR tags issued and 4 applicants with 12 PP's (the same as I would have had last year) so the draw odds were 75%.

There were no NR applicants with 13 PP's.

So again I think my odds are fairly good, depending on how many NR applications there are.

Rem308 · Apr 29, 2009

Of all the wild game meat I have had,my Wyoming moose was asulutly the best !

Drnaln · Apr 29, 2009

LAST EDITED ON Apr-29-09 AT 03:14PM (MST)[p]Lefty280,Do you have 12 or 13 points for this year?If you have 12 you would be in the pool that had 11 last year,not the guys with 12.Hope you get the tag your after & get a great moose!

Drnaln · Apr 29, 2009

I thought Lefty280 was talking non-resident because he said the points were spendy!Good luck!!!!

clausepeak · Apr 30, 2009

WGF website says results will be available for moose sheep and goat monday may 4 at 8 am.Good Luck To All

ICMDEER · Apr 30, 2009

Don't care as much about moose, but I'm hoping for my long-awaited sheep license this year.

Blueticker · Apr 30, 2009

Drnaln
Where did you find out the breakdown of people who are applying for the preference point draw hunts? I can't find it on the WG&F website.

treedagain · May 1, 2009

Drnaln · May 1, 2009

Gotlost · May 3, 2009

I'll get my tenth point this year, I put in for 38, so I'm in the running with the other 1600 people on the random.

Drnaln · May 4, 2009

The results are up & no sheep or goat for me.Did draw a bull moose tag in unit 10 so I'll be hunting moose for the 1rst time!!!!
Good luck,David

Lefty280 · May 4, 2009

No luck here, the great state of Wyoming was gracious enough to let me apply for a unit that had no licenses available. I'm not sure how that works but it SUCKS

Hunterofthesouth19 · May 4, 2009

My dad just drew Area 26 for moose. Probably his last moose hunt. Does anyone have any info on this area? Any help would be appreciated.

Drnaln · May 4, 2009

In 2008 500 people put in for the random tag in unit 38 & there was NO random tag available!
David

Triple_BB · May 4, 2009

They do that so you can pick up another pref point. On a side note, the application fee is appreciated. We're going broke with all the wolves...

Drnaln, think you need to look at 2008 again, Just like 2009 there was 3 ramdom tags.

ColoradoOak · May 5, 2009

Not for non-residents.

Drnaln · May 5, 2009

We're both right!I was talking N.R. & you were talking resident.No N.R. random in 2008 or 2009!

Hey guys... I drew a Unit 36 Moose Tag... does anyone have any info on the unit?

Thanks

rmanwill · Jun 8, 2009

Been putting in for years for 26. Getting to the point I might start to actually have a chance. I believe I have 8 or 9 points. Hopefully I can draw in the next several years before the wolfs move south by the packs!!!
