Hi guys,
i'm hoping to elk hunt Wyoming in a few years and I'm trying to understand the system. I don't get the difference to the Special PP draw and the regular PP draw. If someone would be willing to educate me on this I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

The difference is strictly in the price you pay with the theory being that you have a better chance to draw in the higher priced special than the regular draw because fewer will pay the higher price. That is the case more often than not, but it can also bite you. The reason is that in those two draws 60% of the tags for a unit go into the regular draw and only 40% got into the special, so there are fewer tags available in the latter. I've seen more than a few times where if a guy had applied with his PPs in the regular draw he would have drawn a tag compared to the higher priced draw because there weren't as many tags available. I hope that makes sense to you.
