The pink hat should make it easier to find them
This just makes me want to double down and try that damn unit again and find the only bull in the unit and kill him

I’m thinking about burning my 14 points this year.

The lesson I learned last year, with all the season date and tag type changes they made in April, is just get the danged application submitted. I'll decide which tag I actually want to try for when I see the final regs.

About 2600 NR tags allocated to general last year. These numbers are hard to even comprehend.

I am back to 0 after last years general tag...Sucks thinking I may have to wait 5-7 years to draw it again. Wyoming general elk hunting is like nothing I've ever experienced hunting elk in Montana for 13 years.

You might not be able to draw a general tag again if point holders get tired of paying/waiting for LE tags and start taking the general tag off ramp.

Do you know how many tags went to LE? What is the total throughput each year?

I think there is a cap on total number of tags to NR of like 7250. So you have to do a little math.

I'm guessing point creep is gonna really surprise a lot of us this year. Randy's video should account for about 2 extra general points.
Just a couple days in a different part of the state near a friends place. Didn’t put that much effort into rifle, honestly. For me personally, I treated this as primarily an archery tag.
So, between family stuff, an already full freezer from nephews archery bull, later tags in CO and mostly, a bird dog in his prime that was flabbergasted when I left him at home for most of a month, I went up to SD the last days of the season instead.
With ‘kids’ in the family now firmly in their Elk hunting mode, I don’t really get too into rifle hunting myself any more.

I definitely need to be putting in and have the points. But have an Idaho general, and real expectation of drawing Utah elk.

I'm in with 5, I can't see it worth building any more points.

Burned my points in 2020 so I'm not even close to being back in the game in the max points pool, I'll keep trying for mid level LE tag in the random until I'm in the ballpark of a general tag... I suspect you might find a WY general tag to be a bit better than that unit 18 tag... like 20x better...
An upcoming deployment just derailed my entire fall, so I'll be sitting out this year for elk and mule deer.
I do hope to draw at least one antelope tag in Wyo and hunt early. If it's a no go on antelope, I'll educate the whitetail on what a muzzleloader whiff sounds like.
Good luck on the draw!

167938 sportspersons divided by 7250 tags per year = 23 years for everyone to burn their points, assuming no one puts in year over year...

Require PP's to be used for all license Types, all choices and Leftover tags and you effectively cut that 23 yrs in half.

I like it, but how do we guarantee outfitters clients every year if we dont have the current crap shoot system in place?
