Wyoming Draw Results 2026

[El Jason]

Point creep is hitting the cow tags too, it would seem.

I’m an idiot and put off applying for a type 9 this year due to other hopes/plans for this fall. Looks like I would have had more than a 90% chance of drawing at my point level and I believe the units type 1 had a big increase in tag numbers this year

 

[Sheltowee]

Second choice cow tag for me!

Swing and a miss

 

[Walkathon]

No elk tags for me.

I might actually get to shoot a sheep this year... it's a Ewe tag but dang it I'm going sheep hunting!

Here is what I find really interesting: Of the 1666 tags issued in the regular price draw based on points for S and W, 762 of them were issued to point holders that could have drawn the tag in either of the previous two draws with 100% chance. So why jump in now and get the tag rather than 2 years ago? That is almost half of the tags that "costed more points than required"

Timing is everything. I couldn’t hunt last year and had a full hunt schedule by May last year. Bought points to stay ahead of the creep and hunt when it worked best for me and my family

Pretty safe bet you'll just be poor...

I got lucky and drew a bighorn ewe tag.

Turns out I'm not bankrupt or poor - in fact, I'm feeling pretty rich right about now. Life is good. Nothing beats sheep hunting!

So looking at the draw results I had 0% chance in the random on the moose tags that I applied us for. Guess I need to get better at figuring out how the splits work since there ended up only being 1 random tag for nonresidents this year compared to 3 last year. Guess the quotas went down. Just lit a match to $150 of credit card fees essentially.

Quotas were out the 3rd week of March, usually updated just prior to the April Commission meeting and those updated versions are available in the commission Notebooks.

Got the expected unsuccessful on elk.

You are going to have a busy fall! Congrats.

More sheep and moose points for me

 

[tormenter]

Drew a quality bull elk tag! From now on, one less NR in the elk draw.

 

[WildWill]

No tag this year. Only had 3 points in the so not surprised I didn't draw a West tag. Have a busy year so sat out the reduced price draw. Congratulations to all that drew.

Was hoping to get out of the point game but creep got me again.

I know of several people with more than enough points that are putting in with family/friends with less points to draw as a group. Maybe that's what's going on with some of those.
