Is chasing Wyoming permits worth it?

[Bighorner]

My wife’s family lives in Wyoming and I’m still not sure collecting points is worth it. It has dawned on me that I may only even get to hunt there once or twice in my life even with the easy access. For non residents it’s almost more financially sensible to just drop a butt ton of money on a once in a life time thing with a outfitter tag.

I think this is where the private land any antelope tag shines and is a good compromise to a directly transferable land owner tag system. It seems like the private land tag types are becoming more common each year.
