They are supposed to be out today for non res. Looks like all I got were points for next year
WOW!, I thought 4 would have drawn a general this year. I have 4 now and considered entering the general, I really thought 4 would have been a lock.Unsuccessful here for general elk. 4 pts
Me too. I thought it was a lock and had the hunt all lined out. Pretty bummed right nowWOW!, I thought 4 would have drawn a general this year. I have 4 now and considered entering the general, I really thought 4 would have been a lock.
Seem like WY point creep is accelerating.
A cow tag isnt that hard. Bull tags are. A buddy of mine drew a cow tag with no points, and killed one. Am buying a pt this year and waiting for a bull tag. We've got a area pretty wired for both deer and elk. Last year we went 5 of 6 for bucks on blm land. And the 6th could have killed a decent buck but passed. On blm land you cant be too choosy. He has a soybean/corn farm in OH and is spoiled. I love WY. But my advice is to get there 3 or 4 days early and acclimate while you scout. And carry a pistol, if you dont have a rifle on you, and while scouting, you cant.I got lucky, drew a non-res cow/calf tag in WY. I've never hunted WY, so the learning process needs to pickup some.

Last year a buddy had a lion stalk him while he drug his buck out to where I was picking him up on a 4wheeler. He was waiting at a small rocking opening to a small central valley in this range for an hour or so, 2 other hunters came by and jumped the lion about 30 yards from him. They never saw it but he did. Could it have just been hanging there? Yes. But it could have wanted that deer as well. And there were fresh kills through out the area, deer and elk. So get a concealed carry permit, if you dont have one, so you can carry when you want. Where we go theres not many bears. But a few lions for sure. I carry a 10mm with solid copper bullets for penetration.
My friend in WY said should have no issue getting general elk tag with 3 to 4 points. I had four so drew general this year. Guess not all so lucky. First elk hunt, so hope I get beginner's lucky. He has the stops dailed in, I hope! Good luck to all.Unsuccessful here for general elk. 4 pts
