Wyoming Elk

[adoc65]

I didn’t realize today was the day to put in for Wyoming elk until yesterday when a friend let me know. I hope everyone draws the tag they seek. Great luck in the draw!!

Great luck to you! I put in for a unit that will be tough to draw. But hey, swing for the fences!

 

[jpc01101]

I’m hitting the random for sure this year!

 

[SaskHunter]

I hope none of you who applied for the same units as my daughter and I, draw!

Not my first time applying, but if my party doesn’t draw the W general with an average of 6.75 I may actually quit

I put in for a limited entry tag with 11 points. I may not draw, but you can’t win if you don’t play.

Oh I play the game. I’m one of the idiots who got on the train right as Randy started getting popular. I’m in point purgatory in at least 7 states

I didn’t get that carried away. I have plenty of points in Wyoming. Plenty of WTF points in Colorado. 12 points for bear in Colorado is dumb.

I can’t complain, I have hunted a number of good tags the past 5 years. It’s all about planning, patience, and a little sprinkle of luck.

Hope you get lucky in the draw.

Ooh. Hopefully point creep doesn’t get you. Those numbers would have put you right in the bottom of the preference point draw last year

This is not true. 5.5 points guaranteed the tag in the regular last year

 

[huntandfly]

This is not true. 5.5 points guaranteed the tag in the regular last year

To add additional context, the general tag has been creeping at an average of 0.5 points per year. Meaning it should take 6 points to guarantee the tag this year, with about 40-60% odds at 5.5 points

My bad I was thinking it was in the 6 range. Should’ve checked first.

I hope everyone but me forgot the deadline. But, since sharing is caring, if you have an OnX Elite membership then you get huntin fool access and they have a calendar you can add to your Google Calendar for all draw deadlines. Pretty darn slick, like 3 clicks and you are set with calendar entries.

Have a question and this seemed to be the best place.

When looking at the draw odds for random for example # of tags vs # drawn; How accurate is that percentage?

I ask bc of the group application process. For example tag X has 10 random tags given, the draw report shows 20 applicants in the random. Should be 50% odds right?

But what if every "app" was a party app with 4 guys. So realistically odds where only 12.5% correct? Or does WY break it down in the report by per actual person that could've gotten a tag?

I could be wrong, but I always assumed that only the party organizer was actually entered into the draw/odds (IE: all members of the party, due to shared party number, enter as one entity).
