Id say youll be ok. With that being said, my dad and I are putting into the general pool with 4 points each this year.

WY only issues 7250 full price NR elk licenses between LQ and general. Depending on how many LQ tags there are the general makes up the difference. Usually it’s about 3750 General tags.I'm hoping to draw in 2022 with 3.
It looks like Wy has been issuing 12-13k nonresident tags the past few years. Anyone know how many of those are general vs limited?
Sorry I'm just seeing this now. 2.25 if I remember correctly, I was scamming points from buddies to try and get back. Ended up having a tough, but fun hunt in Idaho instead.grossklw..how many pref points did you have last year when you didn't draw? My group will have an average of 3, this will be my son's last year of being a youth hunter and would like to take advantage of the youth license price in regular draw. The special doesn't have a discounted youth price
So 3750 general tags x 60% Regular draw equals 2250 tagsWY only issues 7250 full price NR elk licenses between LQ and general. Depending on how many LQ tags there are the general makes up the difference. Usually it’s about 3750 General tags.
Seems about right. This year in the NR regular draw there were 285 tags available for <3 and 491 1st choice apps in the pool.So 3750 general tags x 60% Regular draw equals 2250 tags
2250 tags x 75% for max draw pool = 1687 Available tags for max draw pool
Total applications at 3 points or greater in
2019 = 984
2018 = 572
Based on the same increase, you could expect ~1400 applications from 3 points or greater leaving 287 tags for <3 points
Does that look right?
Curious, when exactly did this change? I have 6 points and was contemplating applying for special NR unit 91 and a general tag unit 21 as second choice. But I don't want to burn my points on a general tag. What's a guy to do with 6 points burning a hole in his pocket?Absolutely not. If you want a General license now you have to make it your first choice and use your points.
I guess I misunderstood the regs years ago the last time I read through them. I responded to the post below yours also. Are the general tags of any of the types? In other words a NR general or NR special isn't distinguished further by the type (type 9 specifically)? If I understand this Rube/Goldberg machine correctly there's no way I can hunt Wyoming without spending my points? If true, fine, just would like to know with certainty so I can complete my pros/cons of the options I'm looking at this year. Thanks in advance!General tags aren't unit specific and there are no general tags available as a 2nd choice anymore.
Used to be a chance to draw a general on a second choice as a NR in the special draw, that ship sailed quite a while ago.
With 6 points, your best bet is probably general.
