Wyoming draw

[Dwnw/theAltitudesickness]

As I look at the draw report it appears that a bunch of folks jumped in applying for tags this year.
I got nothing.
I applies for antelope in the special that last year had 17 applicants,
This year there was 105 applicants for the tag. It's crazy !

I think a lot of undecided applicants Unit hop based on only the previous years applications.

Didn’t get drawn on a GoHunt 100% unit. Was going to be a first western hunt with my dad. Damn.

100% last year. You're paying for last years data. Could be less tags and/or more applicants this year.

A few years back it was possible to draw with 1 or even 0 points not no more it looks like.

Not true. I just drew an antelope tag for area 78 with only 1 preference point.

Yes, it's possible with the random, thats one thing that I like about the WY draw system. But it's sure not probable

Great hope you have a good hunt, but I think perhaps you were lucky.

Technically, you didn't draw that tag with 1 point.

You got me. What did he technically, do then?

Well, he didn't draw due to having the 1 point. He could have had zero points and drawn. Because he drew in the random draw where points don't matter.

I believe me and another hunter were the only people to ''draw'' our tags in Area 78 for antelope. Everyone else that was awarded tags in area 78 ''earned'' them by accumulating enough preference points.
So technically speaking...................how I got my tag is the true essence of ''drawing'' a tag. I knew with only one point going in that I only had a snowball's chance in hell of drawing a tag. I was extremely lucky, and I know it.
That is the thing about Wyoming's point system. Most tags are awarded for earned points and a small portion are awarded through a random drawing.

Congrats, I'd hunt that area every year if I could draw it. I saw some good Bucks but it was 2012 and I had Doe tags. No idea what's in there now.

Congrats to those who drew - we were on a trip overseas near the deadline and I completely spaced the antelope app this year. I’m sure I’ll see some dandy bucks running around since I won’t have a tag in my pocket. Maybe next year!

My group drew 82-2 this year. New area that I’m looking forward to hunting this fall.
