Debating with others in my group now. Siding with burning my 8 points solo, or sharing them with another 8 and a 0 that would average 5.33

My boys have 5 points each and I have 3. I was hoping to put us all in together for a GEN tag but with one in college and the other a senior in HS (this Fall), the GEN dates won't work for them. I'll put in for GEN and hope for a random draw. Not sure what I'm going to do with the boys yet.
You should get your general tag with 6! Was helping a friend from UT look at odds the other day and elk should be at 3 points guaranteed to get you a general tag. No LE options that peaked your interest with 6 points?

Did you just come out of a coma from 2009?
Ummm no sir, off the website yesterday. Draw results from the WYFG website for 2021, so maybe this year is 4 points to guarantee a tag. 3 points is about 40% chance. Damn memory of mine...

Even in the Special 3 points was less than 50% last year. This year is likely to be worse with point creep I think. I have 3 points and figure my only shot is in the random draw.

GoHunt has 3 pts. at 7.8% 
I don't use GoHunt since I don't look to hunt out of state, but is it possible that their odds are produced based off max point holders? I heard on the Elk Talk podcast today a stupid stat of what the percentage of point buyers vs point users were in WY for 2022 season. Ill scroll through the podcast quick and see if I can't find what the numbers where exactly.GoHunt has 3 pts. at 7.8%

2022 was even worse and this year will likely continue that trend...

Fish and game website show 4 pts. 100%
Less than 4 at 12.34% and 3 down was 0% for the 2022 draw

My guess is 4 points in the Regular won't be anywhere close to 100% this year. Maybe not even the Special but certainly not in the Regular.
Wow, what a difference 1 year will make... tag difference for 2022 was only 33 less tags that 2021 so that isn't much of an affect on percentages there. Biggest difference I am seeing is the amount of applicants at the 5 point level. I agree, the trend will continue to get worse just like any system with PP. Im just gonna sit here and enjoy my resident general tags and not b****! Gonna have to tell my buddy it might be a few more years till he gets the chance lol thinking I gave him some false hope now.
How I’m feeling about now after getting 2022 draw odds thrown at me for NR elk. 3 obviously doesn’t guarantee anything but after this convo Id say 6 still does. Minimum should be at 5-6.

In with 5 points. I wanted to cash my points in last year but I had a scheduling conflict this past fall that I knew would interfere with the hunt. At the time, I thought 5 points this year would be automatic for the GEN tag. Now it seems iffy.

5 is automatic imo…. I have 5, buddy has 3, will go in at 4. Hoping it doesn’t jump a full point this year.
