Wyoming

[Cedarsavage]

I didn’t draw Wyoming antelope. It looks like I have to buy my preference point after I get refunded. Is that right?

Yes, WY is unusual. After the draw they have a separate program buy preference points.

 

[DeadSound]

That's correct. You'll get your refund and then be eligible for your preference point. Weird you didnt draw, what area did you put in for?

 

[wyoguy]

You automatically get a point if you didn't draw, you would only buy a point if you didn't apply during the draw.

10000% not true. You have to buy the preference point later in the year if you want one.

Didn’t you used to get the point if you didn’t draw

Didn’t you used to get the point if you didn’t draw

In the past, you chose between two options, with a point and without a point. The point fee was added when you chose the 1st option. You were never "automatically" given a point for E/D/A in WY.

You're right I'm wrong, my mistake

Yes. Apply for points now

not the case. I was unsuccessful and still needed to buy points separately

Weird?
Lots of units (most) require some points to draw now.
Many residents do not draw antelope annually.
The difference is: we cannot accumulate points for deer or antelope!
