Wyoming antelope draw

[wapitibob]

I absolutely blame the draw. Lower numbers have reduced available tags, but those should then be shared fairly with the residents of the state, which they are not.

I don't apply in random draw states, but, you guys get 80% of the licenses. A 20 second look at the odds shows you could be hunting Pronghorn this year and Stevie Wonder could fill the tag.

Residents have 67 units with 25% odds, 48 units with better than 50% odds, and 28 units with 100% odds of drawing. If you aren’t getting tags it’s not because you can’t. No you can’t draw the best units in the state but if you want to hunt the opportunity is there. As a nonresident I’d trade my points any day of the week for wy resident opportunity.

I’m not saying a resident shouldn’t have this opportunity, but sometimes we fail to realize how good we have it.

The 100% odds units are litterally garbage. And yes we have it so good... you must be one of the lucky ones.
Thank god colorado and montana are close and provide real opportunity.

If you're a resident and can't draw a pronghorn tag, even every couple years, it's either a) you don't know how to read draw odds, and/or b) you keep putting in for the same unit, 30yrs in a row, because "I live in this unit (or whatever excuse) and dang it I'm not driving anywhere else".

Some people want to just go hunt, and do. Others just want to complain why they can't.

Amen man
I have put in for 12 years of points and will apply next year for a unit a resident should have damn good odds to hunts. 12 years. If you want to complain any non resident can get an otc tag for my home state. My god some of the residents bitch like no other because they expect the best unit every year and if they dont draw God forbid a non resident who built 15+ years of points also shouldn't draw

I hate to just rub it in, but I drew my 10th (TENTH) Wyoming non-resident antelope permit this year. I just love antelope hunting in Wyoming, best thing ever.

Anyone get zapped by point creep?

I picked a unit that I should have been safe with the points I had and got zapped.

You can apply for 70% draw odds type tags for a lifetime without drawing as a resident. The variation in random draws makes them inherently unfair. We are trying to share a public resource and are doing a really shitty job at it.

Move out of state and buy preference points.
