Purchased my 1st preference point today. Question I have for the veterans of hunting in Wyoming is where do I start my research on units with good odds with 1 point and accessible land. I am not after a giant just looking for a good hunt and a reasonable chance at a antelope. This will be my 1st time hunting big game outside ND. Thanks for your input. I am really enjoying reading these post about all the successful hunts.

There's a lot of different units, you can use Go Hunt to really narrow it down for starters or you could just dissect the hunt planner on the game & fish web page. If you can avoid the units that have very limited public access, I can't imagine that you wouldn't have a successful hunt. Not that there isn't approachable antelope in those harder access units, just implying that even with a single point there's several units you could hunt with a lot more access. To give you a broad sense, the east side of the state, minus a few units, is going to be open to you. You could use your single point to get into a unit with better access and then pile in the type 6 licenses in the same or neighboring unit. If you want some more in-depth stuff, just shoot me a PM and I'll help with what areas I'm familiar with. Good luck.

Start by checking out wyomings fish and game web site. Most everything you need to know is in there just do some digging.

You start with how much you want to pay for a tag then which units you can draw. Pretty easy after that. There won't be a lot of difference between 1 point units.
Yep.

I'm not a veteran per se, but I've hunted there. Good trophy opportunities exist with only 2 points if you're willing to navigate checkerboard land of public/private and many doe tags in restricted areas (type 7) are 100% draw or leftover in public areas. Do some research on draw odds using the hunt planner tool on Wyoming's website. I have a love for south central Wyoming.
PM me for specifics if you want them.
