No idea. Not a way to tell, is there?

Not till they show % odds

Bingo, success party draw for a general tag. 4.8 pts got it done and to think in 2018 1 point got it done. Condolences for those who were not successful.

Are you not happy that more people are hunting? It's good for you.

First time Elk hunter here. My group from Georgia drew tags for Wyoming! Headed to the Thorofare the last week in September 2023! Tips for newbies appreciated

Well that’s easily verifiable as incorrect. 4 points was 100% draw in 2022, 2021,2020, 2019…..

You guys that drew a general tag, you need to treat it like a 10+ preference point hunt. Commit and spend as much time as you can because you probably won't draw it again for a very long time.

There are over 100,000 hunters with either 1, 2, or 3 preference points going into the draw this year. Add another 50k that will buy this year and it gets a bit ridiculous. The vast majority of them are hoping for the general tag. It's going to take a long time to work through those numbers... Maybe 20+ years if tag numbers stay the same and everyone stays the course.

My mistake I had 3 pts in 21 and did not draw

My brother in law and me drew our general tags, we averaged 5 points I believe. First time we'll be elk hunting Wyoming. Congrats and good luck to everyone who drew.

Who are you hunting with ?

Burnt points last year, turned around and drew a cow tag with my 13 year old boy. To make it a touch sweeter, grandpa and my brother (who my son has an awesome relation ship with) struck out on first choice but picked up a cow tag second choice in the adjoining unit and we will share camp together and commute just a few miles to hunt in our respective units!

Tip #1 discuss with your guide what your expectations are, what his expectations of you are, what you should be planning for, and what kind of shape you need to be in for the hunt.

Tip #2 take an elk you're happy with and don't let others tell you it's not big enough for your area!

No luck for me this year. Guess I’ll have to buy another WY elk point.

No dice for my buddy and I with 4 pts in general. Point creep is a SOB.

Next year is only going to be worse.
