Yes regularIn the regular draw?
What numbers you come up this year ?How many points you think it'll take a NR's to catch a tag in G & H this year? I crunch numbers every year and was off last year.
Tell that to Colorado. Apps in CO were up by 40,000I think the crisis will eliminate point creep for one year.
I'm thinking in the special, some in G will draw with 7, but most will have 7+. For H, 2+. I've looked at the regular, but can't recall what I was thinking. I think though is was about another point more. But I was off last year. Might be again this year....??? Might be just looking at deer again.What numbers you come up this year ?
That’s good!!FYI: this yr was not as bad as I thought it might be....

Colorado Apps were submitted in late March and early April when the unemployment claims were a fraction of what they are now. Not too mention that many people may have just applied for points. The CO draw is very different than WY. With that said, it may not have that big of an impact in WY, but we will see.Tell that to Colorado. Apps in CO were up by 40,000
And the best part is how pissed off non ressys get about it!My draw odds for G and H deer tags will be 100% and I can buy one at Walmart.
No point creep for me.
Interesting upward trend on the bad years. I wonder if that suggests ongoing degradation of habitat, and maybe not just winter range....Also more people, fences, cars, dogs.....FYI: this yr was not as bad as I thought it might be....

I don't know about that, lots of residents never hunt in G or H.G and H will eventually go to
A draw for residents.
They have to.
Even if you take nonresidents totally out.
To many residents going in to hunt and people moving into the state to force it.
Wait till you see how bad it will be in 4 years.
The old days are about gone.

What do you believe are the correct number of tags for G & H?“Hunt the west”
I really didn’t care about the NR.
I just want to protect the deer herds.
3-4 years from now when you can’t even find a buck, that’s when people will wake up and cut tags.
Your username fits you.“Hunt the west”

Ok, let's see; believe the G&F or believe the guy who's never hunted it.Yup
You have it right.
I never said I have not been there.
Just never have had that tag.But I do know the fawn crops we’re really bad and it’s gonna catch up to us.
If you want to believe the WG&F
That’s up to you.
Just a note.... We have 4 of those 1500 ish new residents this last year. I am proud to report we have no real intention in hunting G and H. We might at some point but there is a lot of other places in WY to find deer and good deer if you take the time...
I may migrate to G hmmmm does that make it deserve to go LQ?There it is. Proof that 100% of new Wyoming residents will not hunt region G. No need to make G a LQ unit for resident hunters.
My data point is better than anything fullcry has.
I'm not pissed in the slightest, that's the benefit of being a WY resident. I am envious, and will continue to take a hard look at moving to WY in the coming years.And the best part is how pissed off non ressys get about it!
Well, I have 4 points. But, I have been playing the game. My wife has max points. I think that either next year or the year after, I will use her points. She doesnt hunt much. And probably wont go. So I will duel with her.
Then my oldest son has a bunch of points, so I will duel with him. Then my next son has 4 or 5 points, but by the time I get to him, I will duel with him. I could be hunting G 3 times in the next 10 years. Cant wait. Will be fun. Got to pay to play! Great investments.
Newbergs deer area closes oct 31st. This thread is full of people not knowing chit about chit. Oh and it takes max points.Why not take your wife on the Newberg November hunt and kill a monster? That would be a sweet hunt for a not so serious hunter to score some big bone.
It always takes a little luck. And I bet Randy’s buck didn’t break 180. That shows you how good the unit was last year. But I dunno, I mean Randy’s struggled to fill Colorado elk tags before ?Takes max points and then some luck
+1. It was a nice looking buck though, and may have been one of the better deer taken out there last year. Just wait until you see it this year and the next two. Randy's buck was probably a 2-pt that survived the 16-17 winter. It was just as bad out there in that area in '18-19. That deer herd segment finally got a reprieve last year. At 2% resident draw odds, I'll look somewhere else. Hell, that area needs 5 to 6 average winters to get up and going again. 15 tag holders and the first 170" class buck they see are hittin' the dirt. A colleague of mine helps the family ranch in that area. May have seen one 180" buck this winter in the area. In the spring of 13, 14, 15, 16 they were finding 190-200" sheds, in 17...deadheads. It's still a long way from where it was....?It always takes a little luck. And I bet Randy’s buck didn’t break 180. That shows you how good the unit was last year.

I'm doing the exact same plan. I have been putting my sons in since they were old enough to apply in many state for many species. That is "dad's college graduation present" for each of them. Our plan for Wyoming elk is that dad will take them on a great elk hunt, and the Wyoming deer plan has always been after each of them graduates from college they each get to go on a hunt with dad and we will share points the points.Well, I have 4 points.

To be fair I stopped reading your post once I knew you didn’t know where Randy hunted. And you still don’t know. And that’s funny chit and sad you tried to play it off like you did!Ok, late October. And how is your reading comprehension??View attachment 8292
Yeah what’s crazy is it wasn’t that many years ago it was pretty decent draw odds. It’s just like any area though, it has a run of good years and a run of bad years in terms of quality. One thing I found out though is it doesn’t matter if you get snow or not, those bucks are there. Lots of snow does help.+1.

I can post it up if you would like, not sure why you are such a douche but at least you are consistent.To be fair I stopped reading your post once I knew you didn’t know where Randy hunted. And you still don’t know. And that’s funny chit and sad you tried to play it off like you did!
Don’t write checks you can’t cash. Also it’s the internet, dont take anything serious. It’s obvious I hurt your feelings. I would apologize but I’m not really sorry. If you want I can email you a hurt feelings report or perhaps a south park meme that says “show me on this doll where I hurt you”. Or maybe the Dawson’s creek meme is more your style. Dealers choice!I can post it up if you would like, not sure why you are such a douche but at least you are consistent.
Idaho’s application period was May 1-June 5 and I heard applications were up, also the general OTC deer and elk tags for nonresidents are projected to sell out prior to the August 1 deadline for the 1st time in history. Nevada saw a jump of 6000 applicants and it’s one of the states with the least opportunity and highest cost to play. Wyoming odds are getting worse this year no matter what anyone thinksColorado Apps were submitted in late March and early April when the unemployment claims were a fraction of what they are now. Not too mention that many people may have just applied for points. The CO draw is very different than WY. With that said, it may not have that big of an impact in WY, but we will see.

No but you should, come hunt the real deer (Muleys) and leave those whiteys alone ?If makes any non residents feel better i have never hunter G nor will i.
Ive hunted both allot and id put an old whitetail bucks wit over a muley buck any day.No but you should, come hunt the real deer (Muleys) and leave those whiteys alone ?
I like whitetail dinner better!! Good stuff that’s for sure?Ive hunted both allot and id put an old whitetail bucks wit over a muley buck any day.

Unless they are rutting and then the table might taste better than the meat. LolI definitely agree on the whitetail being better table fair!
Give me a mature mule deer buck over any whitetail on my table any day. Whitetails have no flavor profile to them
We focus on trophy elk, mule deer, antelope and moose hunts and take B&C bucks most years.
