Wyoming Draw Results 2026

I just want recommendations of the best places to eat in Pinedale.

Grab some brisket and pulled pork and whatever else you need from Ridley's and then head over to their Outfitters liquor to stock up, and if you really get desperate I think there's some outfitters that meet clients there you can eavesdrop on and maybe even some that are trying to fill out any openings they might have and figure the guys that are grabbing another bottle probably haven't killed anything and are a good place to start (and won't complain if they drink).

Pitchfork fondue still a thing?

Used to be a Subway last time I was there.

When I see high points used on low point units, I assume they are going through an outfitter.

Or an application service screwing a high point customer to help out a low point customer

Or maybe they just really wanted to hunt and had a hot tip, liked what they saw scouting, etc.

I think it’s wildly funny that so many people relate the number of points needed as the end all do all of the quality of a hunting unit. Especially with Wyoming antelope.

So it turns out the unit I applied in for antelope was 100% last year with 10 points (special) 80% with 9 points (also special).
I applied special this year with 10 points, no draw. According to g&f this year it took 12 in special for 100%.
Looks like if I want to hunt I'm gonna need to downgrade to a lower point unit next year with 11 points. Not to excited to pay special in order to do that.

If you aren’t partial to a particular landscape/region, then you shouldn’t be worried about “downgrading.” Just about any Wyoming pronghorn unit at that level will provide a fun hunt and a reasonable expectation of trophy quality

This is the trend with everything everywhere esp WY and CO. Even with cow/doe tags in supposedly quality units. Either need to have deep pockets or just be grateful when we do draw a tag.
