Did any NonRes NOT apply for 2023 Wyoming elk?

[Indian Summer]

If ya'll really want to see something funny. Go to thread on Newberg's forum asking the very same thing and the results are a 180 from here. Seems like ALL of them applied. LOL

WY General Elk - Who's In?

Good grief, just dropped my ~800 bones for a General Elk app + Archery Permit. Weird, I'm still holding an open season elk license too. Finally throwing in for it and for some reason never really imagined doing that. Time to learn how to use my bow too.

My boy applied for a limited license and me and friend applied for a general with 2.5 points, so basically have a 10% chance in the random. I am hoping my boy draws. We didn’t apply until the last due to being undecided

 

[ChrisAU]

I did not. Same reason as OP.

 

[thedeerhunter9]

Just getting a point this year

 

[chindits]

I didn’t. Never do.

I don’t really believe in traveling to hunt. I’ll cross the divide once in a while but I’ve never driven more than a couple hours. Just not my thing unless someone gives me a free tag or pays me.

I have never hunted outside of my home state but part of the reason I'm here is to learn in anticipation of going on some non-res western hunts for elk, mule deer and pronghorn.

I didn't. A WY elk hunt didn't fit my schedule this year.

One more no. Still putting in for deer and antelope. Montana isn’t getting my money anymore either until my stocks perform,

 

[Still Hunter]

I cannot tell a lie...maybe I did...maybe I didn't!

And 2023 will be how many gen tags in a row?

Thats because very few of us even hunt on rokslide anymore, were simply here to support the MHG.

Since I'm probably still in line on Idaho's website I decided I better go ahead and apply in WY. You guys are giving me a little hope if nothing else.

I didn't apply for the first time in many years. Last year was really rough out there- it just isn't the same as it once was. For those of you considering entering, it is still a great time and you won't know what you are missing. To those that have hunted out there for years, you will understand on your next hunt.

I am taking my son on a private land cow hunt assuming he can draw. Last year was 100%.

I always apply. But I wouldn’t burn my points because someone on a podcast told me to. I never save any to burn so I don’t get to think about that. Lol Except for deer points that is.

 

[CHMD]

I didn’t. Thought about it pretty hard but decided to keep buying points for now and see what happens in the future

 

[Dust Rider]

nope

I think he's concerned that the 125,000 nr that didn't apply for an Elk hunt and only bought a point in 2022 might jump in after seeing all the talk of possible changes coming in the future.
