Is chasing Wyoming permits worth it?

[WapitiBob]

I buy, then use, points in OR, WY, AZ, and somewhat in UT. I will continue to buy points till I can't hunt anymore. That said, I understand the landscape changes. Because I've cycled thru points in all those states, I adjust my expectations on what I can draw, based on current points, and that changing landscape. My perspective is also influenced by where I live and the hunting available to me here. One example, we shoot forky's here, because that's all there is, meanwhile, they pass on 4x4's in WY, so when I Deer hunt WY, a hunt area that takes 2 points looks pretty darn good. If I was a resident of WY, buying points in some other states might not look all that appealing. It becomes a personal decision and the blanket statements you see online saying points aren't worth it is pretty much just white noise.

I’ve got 10 elk points this year. Thinking I might pair up with a buddy that’s got a couple points and burn them on a general tag.

I’m building points. My current plan is to get my brother out west and both of us hunt elk and ride into a drop camp. I don’t have the background or resources to do anything with horses myself. Don’t care if it’s a general or grizzly unit- just want to do it with my brother. And I don’t think there’s a better place to do that than Wyoming.
