Somehow with only 6 bonus points, I drew an early rifle bull tag in Unit 9. I figured I would be hunting antelope in Wyoming this fall, so I only put in for the long-shot early bull hunt in 9. Guess I should have bought a lottery ticket too.
I was pretty excited when I saw that $135 charge as I knew I had only applied for hunt #3004. Wyoming antelope will have to wait until next year. Now to work up some new handloads for the 30-06 and 300 WSM. Will try some Hammer Hunters and Terminal Ascents. I used the Hammer Hunters out of my 6.5 WSM on the last two cow elk tags. Already have 180 grain Nosler Accubond and Swift Scirocco loads for the 300 WSM, but tis fun to experiment with different bullets.
Same. Me and my little brother had planned on burning our 12 antelope point in Wyoming this year. But I drew a 10 late rifle bull hunt for myself. Gonna have to wait one more year. Hehe
So since we are tag #1&2 that means I went in the bonus round. One hunt has 1 tag in the bonus round the other 2. I am going archery antelope hunting in 7.
Why isn’t pointguard refunded when you don’t get drawn.
edit: I got some laughs and I’m not trying to be stupid but I’m serious. You buy it ahead of time as a gamble to protect the tag. But with no tag, shouldn’t you get refunded the money?
Tag and hunt numbers are now posted.
My hunting mentor got a bull tag! Couldn't be happier even if it was mine.
My son and I got drawn for the same antler-less hunt!
I would be willing to bet half the archery and rifle deer kills are not reported. I am in favor of a unit specific archery tag with a quota, not a draw. A draw for the specific units to aquire the tag that doesnt affect the rifle draw and points would be ok. X amount of tags whether quota is met or not. The bottlenecking of archery hunters as the units close is fning ridiculous. The desert deer need a break for sure. All of the above mentioned plus the poachers are still rampant around the farming communities and freeloaders squatting in the desert and forests. My .02
