I was thinking they were going to general regions for 2024 but haven't seen anything lately about it.

Yep, 3 NR general regions, passed at the commission meeting in Wheatland. Region quotas on last page.

Just curious, does anyone have any predictions on how many PPs it will take to draw the different regions. I am assuming that the South region would draw the most applicants but I may be way off.

will this be in effect for 2024?
while we were hunting this year i talked with a game warden and he wasn't sure when it will go in to effect.

Yes, for this coming season (2024).

Tough to predict, but I would guess in order of toughest to easiest to draw: West, South, East.

thanks Buzz

The dynamics of the various regions is what is going to be interesting to navigate. The East has the "least" and the weakest access to public land on the general hunts. The West will likely have the highest demand due to the most public land, but it also has the highest allocation of tags. It is going to be interesting to see how it shakes out.

I feel there to many unknowns to make any kind of prediction. Is there a list of tag numbers for each unit published? If not will it be out before the dead line for application?

 

[Hilltop]

I believe the higher prices special, with increased tags in that, goes into effect for 2024 as well. If a guy doesn't mind spending 2k, guessing those odds will be pretty decent for all regions. Of course, that will drive point creep for the lower priced regular general tags. I'll apply in the regular but likely my only chance will be random as I only have a few points.

Increased tags in the special? I thought that stayed the same? Isn't it still 40% special, 60% regular?

The special tag increased to just over 2k with the credit card fee. Not sure on the %. 50/50 was discussed but not sure if that part went through?

Allocation is the same 60/40, overall is higher due to adj when they went to 3 regions.
