Didn't see one yet so I will start it. Last year the results started to hit around Feb 23rd I think. Sure hope I pull my unit with 4 pts.
Last year it was posted on the 24th when they screwed up a couple units and told lots of people they were successful. Then they had to retract that to unsuccessful because they input the wrong tag totals and had issued way too many for what the Commission had authorized. It will probably be around that date next week unless they have computer problems that slow things down.
9 points for me, fingers crossed!
Funny. I just toold my kid today it's faster to check Bowsite to see when draw results are up than it get on WG&F!
Rick, I checked your sportsman's number via the back door, you didn't draw!! Maybe next year.

What's the link for the results?
standswittaknife's Link
What's the link for the results?
You have to go into your personal account on the G&F website after they say the results are posted and your account will show whether you were successful or not.
great, no tag, where is my refund?
I take it I'm not the only one actually looking forward to getting back to work next week?
Wyo results week...yay!!!
It won't let me in with my info.
You're putting in the wrong info. The draw results lookup works fine.
Gee thanks DJ:) Results are not up yet.
As a matter of fact it doesn't work fine.
Still not working for me. Info is right.
Works fine for me as well. No results yet, but the link works fine.
Not me. ?? Wrong birthdate format?
Not me. ?? Wrong birthdate format?
A lot of "tongue & cheek" posting going on here....shame on you "meanies"....
Anxiously waiting, and it's not even my tag! I just want to take my son on a great elk hunt. Trying to cash in on maximum points.
Bob I put it in just like that. Have tried 30+ times.
Go back into the application page with your sportsperson ID and birthdate, then dbl check your first name, last name, and zip.
Just did that and it's the same. Something is not right
I received this email last nite,,,,,
I just got informed that the Wyoming Game and Fish that the Elk draw results will be posted either Monday or Tuesday. Sorry for not having the exact day, but that is all the information they provided. So check at the webpage at www.gf.state.wy.us/ and let me know the results. Good luck and look forward to talking to you all.

thanks, same to you... got my fingers crossed
I think it works for some and not for others for some reason...
I go to standswithaknife's link and click on "2015 Draw Results" and put my info in and it says "user not found" but if I put my buddy Les's info in it shows his existing preference points but doesn't say anything about the 2015 draw...
Mine shows the same thing as Les's. Just my existing preference points for elk and antelope. Actually, it's said the same thing every three minutes for the last three hours!!!
>>>--arrow1-->'s Link
Try this link. Don't know if it will copy and paste or not.
Looks like it did. Results not posted yet.
I'm just gonna keep checking here to see when results are posted.
Guys, for the past few years the results were posted between 7-9am.
"Actually, it's said the same thing every three minutes for the last three hours!!!"
lol...yup!
I'm guessing it won't be today.
I bet it hits the auditors page today. Would be nice to get back to Wyoming!
The Auditor's Office is withholding the Refund Warrant report until the dept posts results, per dept request.
No back door for results.
Oh boy! Barebow made me laugh! Good luck everyone
Hey SS, lightening can strike in the random draw!! You never know. Good luck.
I talked to game and fish today they said no results untill Friday 27th
hope they dont get hacked !!
I think tomorrow too. Weds at the latest.
Lots of posts for no Information!
Just like a Seinfeld episode. All talk about nothing ;)
56 now 57 posts and no draw results on the "WY Draw Results" Thread. LOL.
You guys are like kids waiting for Christmas morning!
Good luck to all that applied!
Remember if you don't draw you can always buy a Bowhunters of Wyoming ticket or play the super raffle!
I wish I got a Wyoming tag for Christmas!
It's like waiting for Christmas morning but not knowing what day Christmas is!
"It's like waiting for Christmas morning but not knowing what day Christmas is!"
Except that it's better than Christmas because you're getting a Wyoming elk tag instead of underwear.
Unfortunately Christmas doesn't come every year in Wyo! Good luck to all!
Still not out yet. 8:35 mst.
Santa cancelled Christmas...to many gift peekers...lol
"I talked to game and fish today they said no results untill Friday 27th"
Everyone seems to have glossed over Labby's post. I assume he was not joking.
The 27th is what's posted on the g&f website. They always come out earlier.
Midwest x2. This is however the first year that they are suppressing the auditors billing for licenses until the results are posted by G&F.
We should know soon, I hope.
Just because they're closing the back door, doesn't mean the results are coming out later.
Hope so, I would hate to have to wait all the way until Friday. lol.
Friday the 27th is my B-Day.....
I am cool with that!
Good luck, Robb
WYO G&F has always worked under the guidelines of "underpromise, overperform". IE They have the published date, but they traditionally have always beat that date.
Worst case scenario, results come out on the day they promised.
Friday the 27th. My wedding anniversary. If I draw, I don't think my bride will match my excitement level!
I feel like I've been at full draw for a whole day now!!
I suppose I can wait for sleep till Saturday lol
"Worst case scenario, results come out on the day they promised."
Hopefully they crossed their hearts rather than their fingers ;^)
The 27th is the anniversary of 8 months with my girlfriend and she's been a good sport about it and actually asked me about the WY draw last Sunday.
I've been dealing with WY and other states for quite a while and WY is easily the most helpful of all.
They really try and take care of us and are willing to help you correct mistates and answer questions.
OK I see.....I never paid attention in the past. Putting in for elk tags is a new thing for me.
I agree LKH. Wyoming is the best state to deal with. They have their elk draw early, get results out the quickest and get you an elk refund check within a reasonable amount of time.
Maybe Obama caught wind of how WY had been getting results out early and found a way to veto the process.
"WY draw results"
Ha! 81 posts and no results!
Misery loves company! LOL!
OK, I have stupid odds right now, but I might as well join in the misery...
Seeing this thread every year sure makes me glad I can buy my license at WalMart in August. I have enough drama in my life as it is! ;-)
We're worse than a bunch of kids the night before Christmas. But then what else do you have to do in February??????
Slowest week ever! I know reslts will come up Friday at 5:00 pm MST
I need to find out results so I can get my Utah app in before last year's license expires on Saturday!
The auditors report is working guys! I am getting the 50.00 point refund...
Go to http://sao.state.wy.us/EFT_PAYMTS/EFT_Search_Page.aspx
No tags for us I am sad to say.
$577 refund coming my way from the state of Wyoming. Try it again next year.
NONRESIDENT ELK REFUND!! SHIT
Wow... it is slow. It is searching for my name and it is painful waiting! lol
I put my last name in and select the Game and Fish Commission... it searches, but nothing comes up. What's the deal?
Strange... nothing is found when I put in my first and last name also. I applied, guess I have to wait for WY results.
I used only last & got results, I used a guys last name I hunted with last year, got no results...I assumed he didnt put in for WY?
Did you pay for the point option?
If you apply for a point option in the draw, you either get a point refund, or the tag refund.
WY Pref Point Refund - Alaska here I come
Didn't see a refund for either myself or my hunting partner and applied as a group. Now to find out if we hit the lottery on 1st choice or got 2nd choice.
My hunting buddy just summed it up best when he said "I kind of feel like my dog just died."
You get the preference point refund if you draw.
You get the elk refund if you didn't draw.
I just received this email from an outfitter in Wy.
The Wyoming Game and Fish has stated that the Wyoming Elk Results will now be posted on Friday. Please contact me, once you have found out your results.
cnelk - if you got a WY Pref Point Refund... that means you drew your tag!
Mine finally worked, but I was unsuccessful.
Oh Yeah !!!
Wyoming Wilderness here I come!!
The moose can grow a year
$50 refund so I guess that means I've got an elk tag!
How can I tell if I drew? My preference points didn't update, and it doesn't say successful or not successful.
refund coming our way.. damn...
I don't know if this is a good indication or not.
No results.
WYO G&F link still show my points (As of 1/9/15)
And I didn't apply for PP, as I figured I would do it later this year.
I am thinking it is just like grade school, they are adding results in alphabetical order!
Looks like it is on to Montana for me. 5 points going in to next years Wyoming draw. Good luck to everyone who drew.
Did the vendor payment search site crash? I can't get the page to load today.
The view from camp - scouting last year
In Mexico on vacation. Site operates slooow... Would someone check for me. Anthony Ford my dad Kenneth Ford. Thank you comrades!
Z, not to get your hopes up, but I'd say you are heading to Wyoming!
No WYO for me!
Hail Mary, incomplete pass.
Can someone post a clickable link for cell phone users

Here you go...be patient, its been locked up
Bowfreak's Link
I didn't even apply for Wyoming this year, and couldn't wait to check this thread to see the excitement of all of you that did draw...good luck gents, hope you all the the hunt of your lifetime...maybe me next year.
Cheers,
Pretty sure we blew it up. Initial check was a no-go for me. Damn this Bowsite.
check for me, but not one for my hunting partner so I guess I am cook and packer
jd
So for all the Special 2nd choice general folks you should not be getting a refund if you got the 2nd choice general????????????? This is my thinking.
If drew 1st choice should see a refund for the point correct?
If didn't draw anything meaning 1st or 2nd choice should get elk tag refund?
Would you guys please stop looking? It's taking forever to search! lol
Hah Midwest, good luck with that request:) Along those lines would every non resident with 5 or more points please refrain from applying to Wyoming next year so I can draw out? Thanks is advance.
huntabsarokee That's how I interpreted. Point refund, you got first choice. Tag refund, you struck out. No refund, you got second choice or if you didn't apply with point option, you got first or second choice.
Thanks for posting the link above.
Can't get in yet.

I'm getting a $50 elk preference point refund. Looks like I'm hunting WY in September
Bake
Some of you will be happy to know that my son is out of the maximum point pool and back to zero. I have been waiting a long time to go on this hunt with him. Still no results for me.
Did not select preference point option when applying....and not seeing a refund pending.
Sure hope that is good news!
Talk about news spreading at the speed of light...
Took a while, but not luck for us.
Either she told me an untruth or the auditors office goofed, either way good luck to you guys.
You mean with 3% odds, I didn't draw. Come on!!!! Ha Ha Maybe next year. Good luck to all who draw!
No refund for me . Looks like wy in Sept for me to.
G&F website says results available 2/26 10 a.m. MDT
NONRESIDENT ELK PREFERENCE POINT REFUND Amount $50
Does this mean I drew a tag?
If it does, I am blown away and just struck gold!!
huntmaster I would say you got your first choice!
State website banner just updated results available tomorrow 10an
No draw for me....elk refund
HuntEasy- I see a $577 refund coming for Kenneth Ford and Tony Ford.
Don't kill the messenger!
Must have blown the system up because now it's says system down.
I'm headed to WY for Elk.
I cashed in my 8 pts with drawing this year so I think I'm done building pts for Wy. I've got 13 for Colorado right now so I'm going to work on it.
I applied somewhat last minute for a unit I hunted a couple years ago and it looks like I drew one of the random tags.
Can't wait to confirm tomorrow. Congrats to those who drew!
Finally got thru and it looks like Packrat and I are heading to WY for Elk.
Z barebow - thanks for the news as bad as it much appreciated for heads up. Was on the random odds so wasn't putting too much mope into it.
Well crap. Notta. But I gotta year to plan, and still on top of the point pool.
According to the site I have all my preference points as of 1/9. Based on the posts above that info is assumed to be conclusive about first choice success (or lack). So far getting error messages or the spinning circle of death for the auditor's link
Dang, didn't get the special permit either. Next year!
That news makes Wednesday seem pretty darn good! Hope this is the last of the snow and mess because I need to begin "the process" immediately.
how do you use the auditor link?

Follow My link & enter your name. Then select Game & Fish 040 as the department.
I'll have to confirm tomorrow, but looks like I drew unit 7. Wagonhound here I come! Can't wait!!
I had to let it sit and "think for a while" after the wheel of fortune quit spinning.
Looks like my son beat the odds and drew a regular draw GEN license again this year after cashing in his points last year. We're psyched to say the least!
No joy for me. Thought I was a lock with my points in the special draw. Bummer.
That's great, Rob! Looking forward to reading the next chapter!
Thanks Nick! How 'bout yourself?
My gut just turned over. My refund is for the regular priced tag...not $1,077. I have to work all night. That'll give me plenty of time to figure out how I managed to mistupidly managed to make that happen.
Robb should be on here shortly. I bet he beat the odds again and drew his regular general with 0 points.
How does it go "you gotta believe"
Good luck to all who drew.
Thanks Rick---
I did again draw Both Wyo elk tags----
Cheapie Fee Gen tag & Reduced Price Cow-calf.....
Yes---
"Ya Gotta Believe"
I always Love Wyo--Elk hunting!!!
Good luck, Robb
PS--As normal ToddT-------?????
Do they mail checks for refunds or does it just credit back to your card?
Do they mail checks for refunds or does it just credit back to your card?
Wyoming is refund by check only!
patdel, refund check and you'll get it quick!
Robb, unbelievable...congrats!!!
wyobull, looks like I got me a 2nd choice Gen tag again!
For those that didn't draw please remember the BOW commissioner tag raffle going on right now. $50 and you're the winner, you could still go hunting in Wyoming this year. Thanks.
No tag for me in the random draw. Had only 4% chance for my unit. But expect to draw UT deer &/or OR elk so WY would have just been gravy. Good luck.
Grats to those who drew!
Refund coming for dad and I in the long odds draw. Gonna try for a leftover tag again...
looks like no tag for me this year. Bummer. Really thought I might get it this year.
Another year, another pp.
At least I have double digit points now:)!!!!!! That makes 10!
No tag for me....add a point.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department License Draw and Preference Point Inquiry System is currently being loaded for the scheduled February 26 10AM MDT Draw Release.

I don't know how any of you guys know you have a tag or not this is what was posted on the WGFD website at 4:30am cst.
Not to sound like too much of a d### but had you read the posts you would know.

YZF-88 mine is the same as yours except a $50 PP refund also. I put in for the special. Smbdy explain this please.
pop-r I would say there is another guy with your name... You will know for sure at 10 mst
Pop-r, you drew 1st choice and are getting your PP refund.
Those of you with 50$ preference point refunds pulled your permits. That's how it was when I drew a few years back anyways.
Its official
2 Special 2nd choice general tags here
