C’mon........moose tag!!
From: Bghunter00

I started applying for these tags back in college (20 years ago) when the PP fee was $7 each, time flies! Maybe this is finally the year for my moose tag, although the stats say probably not... Good luck to everyone.

I withdrew my bison app after the email F&G sent out warning about how abysmal the hunt has been recently. Figured if they are willing to come out and say that directly to applicants it must be pretty bad.

They keep the people low on the totem pole applying with that 25% hail marry chance.

What 25% Hail Mary chance? The low guys have a 0.01% chance!!!
I would take 25% every time!
From: MQQSE
27-Apr-21
25% of the tags are offered to the ones investing in the scheme. Meaning they save a few tags to bait you into buying your chance. I have drawn a few tags already in WY and always reinvest in the scheme.
As the Canadien liberal actor Jim Carrey said, “so you’re saying there’s a chance!”

I'm not sure anyone else will find this interesting, but as far as I know, there are four of us Wyoming residents with 9 archery big game species. Three of us need mountain goat tags and Bowboy (Craig Germond), who started this thread, needs a bison. I'm thinking the other two are Dan White and Brett Ritter. There are a few other residents closing the gap on us, one being Jason Stafford. Anyway, wish us luck - it would be cool to be the first one to 10. I am not holding my breath. I've been at 9 since shooting a sheep in 2015. If anyone knows of another bowhunter who is at 9 or maybe even 10, please let me know. Thanks and good luck, Ron

Ron, as a New Mexico resident that's killed 2 WY species (antelope and whitetail), I think that's an interesting stat. I've always thought the CBA Big 8, 9, 10 awards were neat, and wished NM had a similar program. More importantly, I wish NM had an organization as strong as CBA. Best of luck in the draw!

Awesome Ron, that’s a very cool accomplishment to shoot for. Does your state bowhunting org recognize it with a big-9/big-10 award like the CBA does in CO?
From: Bowboy
28-Apr-21
Sticksender BOW does recognize this accomplishment. You get a plaque award from BOW.

Very interesting and cool stuff, Ron. Congrats to you guys. Good luck in the draw, fellas!

wildwilderness, I am not sure about wolf kills in WY but I haven't heard of anyone from BOW taking one.

Ron, I wish you luck, I'm at 1 with a bow in wyoming as a nonresident as I took a cow bison in 2016. I went guided and would not have been successful without the horses. I hope you draw the tag and start a thread we can all follow along.

I drew my bull bison tag before bows were allowed. Guess I’m out of the running on this deal. Good luck to all in the upcoming draw.

CBA gives a wood plaque award to Big 8, 9, & 10 winners, and we also offer these custom belt buckles at cost to the Bowhunters to designate their achievement if they wish.

When do refunds start hitting credit cards typically for Wyoming after the draw date?

Ron that’s sweet. Good luck for the goat tag.
I’ve got 4 but unfortunately there are two species that probably won’t happen for me. Be pretty much a miracle if I would draw a sheep or goat tag in Wyoming as a non-resident. Think I could get to 8 more than likely, although my Shiras and bison were cow tags. Pretty good goal to shoot for.

I only show results for Mountain Goat currently, (unsuccessful) not showing any results for Sheep or Moose. Can’t remember my point totals going in to this year to see if that is updated. Went back and verified I actually did apply so that shouldn’t be the issue. Anyone else seeing only partial results?

I called. They said there is a glitch. My sheep app didn’t show. He confirmed unsuccessful though.

Congrats to those that drew! MQQSE, what sheep unit you put in for? I had 21 points for Sheep & Moose, now it's 22. I have drawn two Moose tags in the past, the first was 150, second was the first year they raised it to 300! It's been awhile HA HA !!!!!!

I was only successful in earning my 20th moose point. ??. Dang it. Really thought this might have finally been the year but they apparently disagreed.
My nephew who moved to Wyoming just 3 years ago drew bull moose in the random draw. He's always had a golden horseshoe. And a good friend of mine got tired of chasing his tail and cashed out his 20 points with a Bighorns cow moose tag.
I'm left hoping and praying that the additional money for the special elk application was a good investment.

Mark, I took a shot at 5. I may have had better odds at 2 or 3, but only time will tell where the 21 pointers applied this year.
From: sticksender

Glad to see a few bowsiters drew some great licenses. Congrats....and please do share your hunt results & pics this fall.
From: Sandbrew
04-May-21
Mark & MQQSE- I have a friend that drew sheep in 5 with 19 points. I'm thinking that was a random draw since you didn't get it with 21 I was in for unit 3 with 21 as a NR but didn't draw so we will see what the draw stats looked like once they post. I'm sure the 20-23 pointers are all getting very close. Probably about time for WYG&F to change the rules.......
From: Shrewski
04-May-21
I did not draw with 21 either. Very interested to see the draw stats. Oh well at least it will hurt less paying the bill for my RMBS Life membership.

Shrewski - That's a good use of your refund. Hope it turns into a Dall sheep hunt for you. Shameless plug for the RMBS AKA Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society is holding a membership drive and the top prize for a lucky life member is a Dall sheep hunt!

antlered moose unit 36 went to a nonresident with 7 points and only 2 nonresidents put in?
From: sticksender
05-May-21
Amazing (and kind of gut-wrenching) how the NR random draw odds continue to skyrocket, even with the crazy-high point fees, license fees, and app fees.Looks like a bull bison tag (at 4400.00) even with the relatively poor success rates the past few years, still had a robust 413 NR applicants. That's a 40% increase in apps from 2020. I may be wrong, but it seems like the bubble has got to burst at some point.
From: TEmbry
05-May-21
I wouldn’t hold your breath on the bubble popping. Not many chances to hunt most of these tags beside the lottery draws and millions of people nation wide have varying degrees of interest in playing the game.
From: MQQSE
05-May-21
Nice to see some 21 point guys drawing tags for sheep. Maybe I’ll hit it next year and change units. Plenty of time to decide now!
From: wytex
05-May-21
I noticed that area 36 tag, great opportunity for that person. My spouse drew a resident license with 17 PP, looking forward to a fun hunt.
From: DonVathome

Unit 5 jumped up as expected. Unfortunately I graduated college unaware of points systems, draws etc. I realized it and applied asap - along with 1000's of other applicants the first year you could only buy a point. It is WAT better then being 1 more year behind but still tough. Especially with so few tags - so many guys can change what to apply for odds can vary by 5 points. I had 21 points in this draw (22 now). I suspect I will definitely get unit 5 within 5 years worst case. HOPEFULLY they do not change the draw.......
