Max Points Mule Deer 2011 with 5

[elkhunter7pt]

I'm looking at a number of units for a non-resident. I have max point of five and want to hunt public land. Can someone steer me in a good direction for a possible 160 plus alos maxed out on antelope. Any help would be appreciated.

Just got back from 90-1 antelope and it exceeded all of our expectations. The unit is pretty much all public and has a ton of animals. I'd go every year if I could. I was really impressed with the amount of antelope we saw as it was my first trip to Wyoming. Hope this helps.

Look at the draw odds then go from there.

Did I miss a something...like a whole year?

I thought max points was 4, not 5?

5 going into next year is maximum

 

[GrizlyHunter]

So the max as of today is 4 then...right?

But even if I were to apply in the spring of 2011 I'll still only have 4 points, but it would be my 5th time applying.

Max is 5 points. If you didn't draw this year you have 5 points.

For NR?

Yes 5 points is max going into the 2011 draw. If you have 4 you missed a year somewhere.

Damn it! I thought my blackouts stopped when I got out of college...I guess not. :-(

LAST EDITED ON Nov-05-10 AT 11:31AM (MST)[p]Wait...I just checked "AND" I read the fine print. It says:

0 0 4 4 0

"This is the total number of Moose, Sheep, Elk, Deer, and Antelope Preference Points that are currently in the system. The total(s) include Preference Points earned by Unsuccessful applicants of the 2010 Draw(s). Preference Points applied for in July through September of 2010 will be reflected in your totals in mid November."

Since I applied for points in September, and not the license, my points will be reflected in mid November. If mid-November is after today (I hope) then I'll be bumped up to 5 points.

So it looks like my black-out wasn't for a whole year. WOW...that was close! ;-)

I apologize for temporarily high-jacking this thread. If anyone has some insight for the author's question please take the time to share it.

Unfortunately you are correct. I have confirmed that I have only 4 points for both elk and deer.

Bummer. :-(

I'm a non resident as well with max points for deer elk and antelope. Kind of interested in what others have to say/recommend also. Realistically, I will not hunt for deer or elk for at least 5 more years but more like 10 years, due to responsibilities at home and work.
