Wyoming just posted the 2022 application booklet.

Not much to it this year. Mostly links sending you to the Hunt Planner.

I'm in the same boat. Thinking I'll go elk before they hike the price on tags and cut quotas.

Yeah, daughter want's to go after either elk, or black bear.

Can't wait to go elk hunting there next year. Not to sidetrack this, but is there any more recent word on WY considering changing the % of nonres big game permits (not counting the big 3)?

This would not happen for the 2022 hunting season. IF it is passed by the legislature in the 2022 session the earliest it would happen is the fall of 2023.

I've been there before. They are both great. Just thankful for the first time I get to do both.

I’m gonna put in for deer not 100% sure what region yet but a October mule deer hunt would be fun

 

[skull]

I have 12 PP for mule, I’ll be in Wyoming for sure

To head off the many questions of the sequence of the Wyoming elk draw, they have provided this really good flow chart. Posting here for convenience.

Our dilemma is our youngest gets two weeks of 'fall break' from school. It's usually the last week of September, first week of October time frame. Looking around, there's not any area that's got a 'any elk' season open then. So we may be looking at a cow elk tag application. She's got 2 elk points, I got 1, and the wife has 1. So that's our dilemma with elk. For deer, the youngest has 3 points, I got 3, and the wife has 2. Any suggestions? Would a cow/calf tag use our points?

Cow tags are a separate draw and don’t use points. Random draw.

I thought that's how I interpreted it, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

Unless it's a type 4 license, which is a full price antlerless license.

 

[WapitiBob]

Any full price, 1st choice uses your points. Wyoming designates full price cow tags as antlerless, and reduced price as cow/calf.

 

[bpitt]

I really don't think we have enough points EXCEPT for an antlerless or just do a reduced cow/calf and keep building.
