Be honest about your Wyoming elk app!

reduced price cow/calf. I simply don’t care about getting a huge bull. I can chase antlers and watch does every weekend at home.


AND IF I'M BEING SUPER HONEST: I like that the cow/calf season is earlier in the year so its warmer.

7 points for 'W' General, Regular Draw ...

Question, did Randy buying a Special Tag make ya'll feel okay to get one too?

 

[YZF-88]

15 points regular. Couldn’t justify letting them hold onto the fee for a “special”. Seriously doubt I’ll draw.

 

[Lost Arra]

Huh, I guess I'm the only one planning my whole fall around drawing the Super Tag.

 

[Maverick1]

I did not apply in WY. Cashed in my PP's a couple years ago for elk and am done with them.

I wasn't sure if I bought any Super Tag chances this year so I double checked my account.

Super Tag - 2024

• • Antelope Super Tag
  • Bighorn Sheep Super Tag
  • Deer Super Tag
  • Elk Super Tag
  • Moose Super Tag
  • Mountain Goat Super Tag
  • Wild Bison Super Tag

2 of each.

I wonder how much some folks throw into Super Tags each year. Mine is probably peanuts.

Just a points year for me

That’s kind of like putting on a pair of jeans and finding a $20 bill in the pocket. Only in reverse, dozens of times

Can’t win if you don’t play though, hope you win one!

If it’s anything like Idaho you’ve got little to no chance. People are spending tons of money here every year and all but guaranteeing themself a tag because they’ve got so many tickets in the pot. I’ve got very mixed feelings on it

Except @TW33 Drew ID's super tag combo with 1 ticket so always a chance albeit a very slim one

As far as the thread question. Just points here.

 

[rebelmdb]

Almost did but stuck with regular. Maybe with a few more points and experience

 

[kwyeewyk]

Stuck with the regular with 3 points. Sounds like there was a decrease in special applications, but they don't say how much.

Even With $2,000 Elk Tags, Hunters Still Want To Hunt In Wyoming

With price hikes that have some nonresident elk tags nearing the $2,000 mark, sticker shock might be keeping some hunters away, but Wyoming still retains a strong pull for hunters all over the country.

My name is Randy Newberg, I have a pronghorn problem. When it comes to pronghorn, my CPA frugality seems to evaporate. What I spend for the Wyoming Super Tag the Arizona Super Big Game Raffle will not be shared with anyone, including Mrs. Fin.

Even at that irresponsible level, my odds are very, very, slim.

Definitely a couple of amusing lines in that article:

A G&F employee quoted as saying that Wyoming's special fee increase brings it in line with other states?

"Some" elk tags in Colorado "remain around $760"? Right, because all the other elk tags in Colorado are...cheaper than $760.

QQ

Reading that article makes me feel better. My elk points in Wyoming may finally evaporate on a unit that was always one year ahead of me.

This makes me feel better about my spending on elk super tags in ID, WY and AZ

BUT, your odds are not ZERO; which they would be if you don't enter.

Ticket purchasers must be physically present in the State of Arizona at the time tickets are purchased, although it is not required that they be Arizona residents. Any ticket purchased from outside Arizona is void and not eligible for any drawing.

I just looked into the Arizona big game raffle rules on Conservation First's website. I was shocked to see the language below included:

Started last year due to a technicality in state law.
