I know they said the 20th... But I am hoping for sooner. So let's hear who put in for what and a picture of what you harvested last year to pass the time!

I am in for deer, elk, and antelope! All backpack hunts, that I will be thrilled if I draw any of them!

And there is A good memory from around the fire with my bull.

I'm in for bull and cow elk, buck and doe deer doe tag is for whitetail, and buck and doe antelope. Hope to get the deer tags so I can take my son he real wants to go deer hunting this year. The lq bull tag I can go either way on, I'm good with a general if anything.
This is from my elk hunt last year, you can see the meat bags in the tree behind the tent.

I've applied for 4 bull elk tags, 2 cow elk, 2 whitetail buck and 2 antelope for me and my family. Add to this all the moose, sheep and buffalo tags we usually apply for I'd have to say I'm a glutton for punishment as I get a lot of rejection every year.:(

As a resident I decided to put in for difficult tags as first choice and easy draw tags as second. Elk...I'm hoping for a miracle in the Ferris Mountains north of Rawlins, otherwise its general for me. Deer, Atlantic Rim south of Rawlins, otherwise general as well. Antelope, another miracle with an area 60 tag.

I hope there's no Elk Area 7 mix ups this year. Thats the area I've hunted the last ten years and it was a huge mess!

Elk/antelope.... best deer tag in the state is otc for us residents, especially with the moisture that has accumulated this early in the western areas!

Yeah, the western half of the state is going to produce some really big deer this year.

I put in for the usual elk area for a type 1 that I haven't drawn in quite some time. Put in for the additional cow/calf for this area as well. I put in for limited quota type 3 whitetail for deer so I have a full month and a half to hunt with my 4 year old son and I put in for a nearly 100% antelope area as well to be sure that my son, 2.5 year old daughter, and wife get to spend a lot of time together this fall. With my BC moose hunt and all of these other hunts with my kids, it really doesn't matter what happens on the elk tag. Going to be another great fall in WY regardless!

I'm guessing we'll have results next Tuesday or Wednesday. The 20th is a Saturday so they'll post before then.

Attached is my most coveted animal I've been fortunate to take in WY.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm in for bull and cow elk, deer, and antelope. Should draw the antelope as it is typically sought after as a second choice. I have some good backup general area options for elk and deer if I don't draw. I can't wait to actually do some hunting for myself this year after last years opportunities were few and far between.

Hopefully an area 115 antelope tag, hopefully coupled with a left over Region M deer tag. I decided to sit on my deer points for another year.

I wanted to go to WY really bad this year but just couldn't fit it into my schedule. I was hoping to go to Region G and with all the moisture they've been getting, it could be a banner year.

I'm waiting on draw results and next day I'll be putting out a few cameras in a general area. Would love to add another honey hole. Have found a few spots over the last two years. Should be getting a nice general buck one of these days. Put in for 102 deer. Not sure why, people aren't killing the deer down there like they have.

So funny thought on this....last I heard was that we will hear by the 20th, however that can be subject to change. I probably started this thread just in time for the draw and it won't be much of a countdown...

Last year they ran the draw on the 9th, but they also had issues. Hard telling what they'll actually do this year.
