Chase points or hunt?

[Bighorner]

There is alot of talk about settling for smaller bucks in easier to draw units. The truth is most people can't judge that well. One of the smallest antelope I have ever shot came from one of the best LE units I have ever drawn. The hunt was a blast, but as a NR there's no way I would chase points for it. It was great, but it wasn't 10 years of waiting great.

This page might help with your decision: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/WGFD/media/content/PDF/Hunting/TOTAL_PREF_POINTS_EDA.pdf

* Wyoming allocates 20% of the tags to NR hunters.
* There are 60,000 NR hunters that have more points than you.
* According to Toprut.com, the top 10 pronghorn hunts in WY will take 10-Max points to draw.
* Approximately 220 NR tags are available in those top 10 hunts.
* There are 4278 hunters with 10+ PP.
* Unit 60 has 8 tags available and takes 14+ points to draw with PP.
* There are 551 hunters with 14 PP.

If that dosen't sum it up nothing will.

Those 10-15 point units will take you 30+ years to draw. Just go hunt when you are able to. With 1 or 2 points you'll get a good hunt if you do your homework.

What am I missing 30 years to get 10 to 15 points , shouldn't it be 10 to 15 years at a point a year ?

You're missing point creep.

Gotcha thanks , I was thinking you lost points or something if you don't put in for draw every year

Hunt as often as possible, you can't kill trophies (or dinks) from the couch.
