Assuming point creep will continue as it slowly has in the general regular draw it will take <4 to have 100% draw...

    Wyoming roads salt/sand?

    My hunt starts in region E tomorrow. Trying to get to Jeffrey City today to scout and be ready to hunt in the morning. Right now we?re stuck in Cheyenne. We got caught in the blizzard last night. I-80 is closed and I-25 doesn?t look good. Do they put salt out the interstates in Wyoming? We?re...

    Antelope 68/ Mule deer Region E

    Hello All, I'm starting my planning for a 2018 trip for my dad and I. We both have 7 antelope points and 3 deer points going into the 2018 draw. After doing my research I feel like antelope unit 68 would be a good fit for us. My dad will be 71 next year and I think we'd be chasing one of the...

    Utah- preference point or bonus point or both?

    With the deadline looming for buying a preference point or bonus point for elk in Utah I'm trying to figure if I should buy both. These will be my first points of either kind for Utah. My long term plan is to build points in Wyoming for a hunt within the next ten years. Even if I don't get to...

    Wilderness Study Areas

    I'm researching the best antelope units for the future when my Dad and I have built up more preference points. We both currently have 5. We also have 1 mule deer point a piece. I'm looking to possibly have both of those tags for when we finally get back out there to hunt, but the emphasis...
