Wyoming Elk General Tag vs LQ Tag

[rookieforever33]

Honestly if you are a non resident and add up dollars and years spent building preference points you are probably better off buying a landowner tag in another state. If its going to take 10 years to draw a bull tag save the money instead of buying points. If you go the point route you could likely end up just losing that money if you have a life changing event, or just change your mind. Or go low odds success otc and enjoy the process but know you are not as likely to tag out every time you go. Or you can do what many are doing and move to a state with elk if its that important. But beware, the only thing western state hunters dislike more than non residents, is new residents that move there to hunt.

Where can I buy a landowner tag for a bull elk for the same price as 10 years of buying a point?

Does anyone have the same graphic from previous years? My research skills are normally pretty on point but I can't seem to find the same data from years previous.

Reality hits them then, people move in, push up local prices, start voting for changes, more development happens which removes habitat etc etc.

All of a sudden deep down it hits them, maybe just letting them come hunt for 1 week is better

This real problem and elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about is the bullshit point averaging.

25% or more of the people on that list will never even step foot in Wyoming. People are buying points for everyone in their family to be able to game the system.

The State of Wyoming 100% needs to do away with point averaging right now. I know at least 2 DOZEN people who are getting points for people who have 0 intention of ever hunting Wyoming. They are buying points for everyone to be able to average in to get a tag year after year.

Once again, those with more money, can gain an enormous advantage......

Wyoming loves it though. Free money for them and let us peasants duke it out in the draws.....
