Wyoming Elk units

[kingfisher]

I have wo pref points for elk going into the 2008 draw. Do you guys think that is enough points to get in some of the better units? I have read about some of the units, not sure yet where I would apply?

I may have to go solo. I have a friend with 1 point. My oldest son has not started applying as of yet. College has got in the way. If anyone is looking for a hunting partner for the 2008 season let me know.

Thanks
Bob

2 points ?
No, most of the better units have no more than a few dozen non resident tags, and there are about twenty or thirty thousand people with two elk points.
You will have a real good chance at a "general" tag.
For a limited entery tag, you will need lots of luck, or about seven more points.

Thanks A-con, that is the kind of info I am looking for.

Is it true if you list a hard to draw unit as the first choice and you draw the 2nd choice you do not lose your pref points?

That is a true statement.

Wasn't there like 22,500 the first year? How many used their points to draw last year? IS there somewhere you can find the numbers for the max pint pool.

I am planning on points only for the next couple years as I have other trips planned, then starting to apply for the appropraite zones.

Like me, 12,000+ other hunters have max elk points.

Good luck!

NOt bad looks like 5500 people dropped out this year. Any opinions on whether it would be 5500 +/- or alot less again ? and about 3500 on deer. Same question?

Is that res and non-res or just non-res ?

 

[Dinkshooter]

I don't think there is points for Res. so only non-res in the totals.
