Wyoming NR Elk Application

[HeadnWest]

My brothers and I, who all have three points, are looking to party apply for a general elk tag. When we apply do we just select the GEN for all three choices in the application? This is our first time applying and want to make sure we have our best chance to draw.

For the party I believe one of you has to apply first and the other two use the party number provided by Wyoming.

If you do a party app the first person to apply should be able to apply as a party and get the party number, which the other two would use. With 3pts you'll probably be looking at the random draw this year. If you want to increase the odds of someone having a tag, you could all apply separately. I linked a post I made about calculating the draw odds for one person drawing a tag if multiple people apply.

A few weeks or months ago I couldn’t sleep and decided to breakdown some draw odds for group applications in which everyone applies separately. Our strategy for applications was to pull at least one tag and who ever was unsuccessful would still come on the trip as a packer for a share of the...

They won't draw in the regular

They won't draw in the regular

Yeah, they'd only be in the random draw in the regular which is under 10%.

3 pts isn't enough to draw a general tag? How many points do you need for the general? 4?

Choosing GEN as a 2nd and 3rd choice won’t increase your odds of drawing

It was in 2020. It wasn’t in 2021. Could have been a COVID boost, but I think it will stay that way this year. >3 points drew 100% in 2021.

Misread your post. My apologies. I tend to forget the random. I like to plan on more sure things.
