I know this is longrangehunting but if you're an archery hunter there are some good deer hunts with a lot less traffic and typically better weather. I believe WY allows crossbows too which is kind of the long range version of archery!

I think everybody that has points is in for a surprise point creep is really going up this year Wyoming is changing their draw % for nonresidents.

That's why a lot of people just want to use their points and move on.

They are not changing the percentage for antelope or deer, or elk. Yet.

Yet being the key word. A few of us are in the same boat as a bunch of posters here with a handful of points and the creep about to hit. Hoping to draw and move on for sure. Man, how things have changed since I first started going out of state many years ago. I can remember one year a long time ago that my plans changed last minute and I quickly called Idaho F&G to see if there were any deer tags left and the lady laughed and said "Thousands". Now, I feel like I have to be an IT whiz and have the atomic world clock glowing in my face to be able to obtain a deer or elk tag there. Hopefully we get Wyoming this year.

This. I feel like I need to be some type of savant gambler at the casino counting cards while monitoring multiple "how to get a tag" sites simultaneously. I am going to Africa instead.

I remember those days, leave home arrive in Idaho and buy your license and tags over the counter. They even tried to sell you a second Elk and deer tag.
