    WY Area 82 Antelope

    I had a friend bail on me last night but I still like to make a hunt this year. I see I can draw area 82 in the special draw but don't want to burn my points on a mid 70's buck. I'm looking for a buck over 78 inches and have the time to hunt / retired now. I've talked to the game warden and he...

    Draw question

    If you apply for an area with points and dont draw, do you get put in for the random draw for a second chance at drawing it. It seems like I read this on an Eastman MRS for antelope a few years back. A clarification on this would be greatly appreciated Thank You

    NR Draw question & Draw Stats

    I thought I knew everything about the WY draw but now I'm not sure. So here is a question that I hope doesn't seen stupid.

    Area 551 second season

    I drew this tag 4 years ago and had a great hunt but didn't kill a big buck. I move to too many different spots in that area and never hunted any area to get familiar with it. I won't make that mistake again. I did miss one year of buying points so I think I only have 2 points and plan to buy...

    NR Draw question.

    Looking at the NR draw special draw odds with pref points for deer, one person drew a tag with zero points. Is this possible or just a mistake? I would have thought he would have had to enter the Special random draw.

    120 Vs 125 deer trophy quality.

    I've been trying to find out why Eastman's list trophy quality for 120 higher than 125 when 125 is a lot harder to draw. Talking to the biologist for those areas he said 125 was better. I also looked at the MRS from 2009 on and they list 125 trophy as good up until 2013 after that marginal. Area...
