Wyoming Draw Results 2026

Random odds for the unit I applied for were slightly better than last year but it’s jumped multiple points on the preference side since I drew in 2024
 
Haven’t posted in a couple years due to the loss of a family member.
I’ve been trying to burn my points as I age out (79 a month after this hunt). The last couple times, I shared my WY points with younger friends that I’ve hunted with over the years.
We drew N/R Thirty 6 type one. Deer
Really no idea about this unit other than we shot high because of point creep and I really wanted to burn my points.
Bottom line it’ll be fun getting out with one of my buddies knowing that I brought 90% of the points to the board.
 
I thought we had a pretty good point cushion for antelope in the special draw, but mega point creep got us. I'm just trying to get a hunt with my grandson before I croak, and it's been frustrating the last couple of years.
 
26th straight year with at least one buck pronghorn tag in Wyoming, lots of years I had 2 buck tags. Some of the additional buck tags I had were very good as well.

Won't see that again, but thankful I took advantage while the getting was good.
 
Has anyone heard of issues with the draw? Mine was a party app. I got drawn, but the rest of my party has not gotten an email and their account is not showing an application... They definitely did one, with my party ID...
 
You guys got me looking at that lone ram tag, of course probably plenty of folks are looking so I had to go take a refresher course on the rules. I’ll save some others some time.

You do not lose your preference points if you draw it, however, you might as well lose them because you still have to adhere to the “once in a lifetime rule.” If you draw that tag, you are done. So…with my 17 resident points and big dreams and aspirations, that tag is not for me but certainly for others it will be!

They DEFINITELY did? I have had a lot of friends that definitely put in and then realized they forgot to go all the way through the draw process. See if they have their receipts from the very end.

Regardless, yes weird things happen. Lots of stories of people getting tags they didn’t apply for or drawing 2nd choice tags that shouldn’t be possible. How true all the stories are, I don’t know.

I have been driving myself crazy all day trying to figure out why I didn't draw a third choice that the reports seem to indicate I should have drawn. I have a question in and will see what they say if/when they respond.

Its a 3/4 curl or less tag as well.
