Wyoming odds help. Please?

[eaglemountainman]

Why not? The app period is open.

The proposed quotas won’t be out till late March and word on the street is they’re cutting a bunch of tags. Switching draws, regular/special requires withdrawing the app and they don’t refund till June.

 

[wytx]

Yep, best to wait til quotas are set.

 

[robtattoo]

If I leave it, i'll forget. Honestly, if they doubled the quota my chances would still be virtually nil, so why the heck not!

Valid points, for sure, but in the OP's case, he only wants one particular unit or nothing. They will be holding his money longer, that's for sure.

Surely you didn’t apply for antelope in January....

My thoughts exactly. You have over four months before the deadline and you have no idea how things will be in four months.

That's 16+ weeks of 15 hour work days, lack of sleep, staff problems & mild alcoholism..... No way I'll remember unless I put in all my applications at the same time!
Absolute worst case; i'm out a few bucks in application fees (think of that as an Idiot Tax)

Not to mention winter kill now thru March can be a factor on the tag allotment

 

[Gear-Reviewer]

Who cares. He wants to hunt that unit. Let him put in and try. Better than forgetting in most cases.

 

[SoTxShooter]

Yeah based on goHunt, you have a better chance than not of drawing. Glad you sent it!

 

[pirogue]

If you forget deadlines, you didn’t want to hunt that bad to start with.

Trade lives for 6 months? I barely remember my own freaking birthday most years. I work an average of 15hrs a day & generally take off one day every 2 weeks to keep my business solvent because if I fail, the government gives me 90 days to organize all my shit & sell my property before they deport me back to the UK, broke & homeless. I've been running on fumes for the last year. I CANNOT fail. Hunting is important to me, but I can do it here in TN & frankly an expensive trip is not even in my top 50 priorities most of the time.

 

[robtattoo]

Sorry. That was unduly snarky. I mostly put in for tags in the same unit, because a very, very good friend of mine lives there. He was the first guy to ever take me under his hunting wing when I flew from England to hunt Texas, 16 years ago. He's an older gent & isn't going to be around forever. Hunting out there is mostly giving me an excuse to do a 4000 mile round trip to go visit him, without him feeling like it might be a pity party. He can't really get out and hunt these days, so me going out there gives him a real boost, guiding, advising & generally filling me in on the history of Sublette county.

Good luck in the draw.

Man, guy asks for draw odds and gets raked over the coals.

Would hate to ask some of the people who responded to this simple question for a light...probably get the history of fire.

 

[Dalep]

I paid for Gohunt app last year and helped me decipher the different state draw odds

 

[Steve O]

Dale, I referenced GoHunt earlier here to help Rob and that was not received well...

Good luck tattoo man!

 

[JohnIrish]

Hey Rob... for another thought...... if your friend lives there... have him put in for the hunt. Even if you don't get your tag & as a resident he gets a tag...... you could go along and help him out to share the experience. I am assuming if you helped him.. he may be able to get out.

I’ve found Wyoming’s website is pretty solid for odds. I’ll be using it in conjunction with go hunt to draw this year with 2 points on party hunt with my nephew. You can hunt every year with 1 point no problem

Dale, take what go hunt lists with a grain of salt. I have seen their date incorrect way too many times for it to be 100% trusted. Just earlier in this thread there is a mistake highlighted.

 

[Dalep]

I applied in 4 states last year and they did me well. I also like their articles. That said, I don’t just go off of their info and use local info to compare
