I guess I am building more points for next year. :(
Hey...I did as good as you did! A grand slam of preference points!
Applied for moose in a unit that 100% of applicants with 9 points drew out last year. I have 10 points and was unsuccessful. I think the combination of unit closures due to wolf predation and the ever growning numbers of people in the points pool is causing point creep. I would be very hesitant to buy points for moose in Wyoming if I was just starting out. With over 26,000 people in the game you might be in for a very long wait for a moose tag in Wyoming. Does anybody know if Wyoming is working on a plan so that we can get wolves delisted?
Exactly..........I posted about this topic previously. All the 11 point poolers are coming out quickly now to burn their points. Points required in all the mid-tier units will surge as you experienced. It started last year and will get worse. This year I applied same as you, for a unit where all in my point pool drew last year who applied (100%). But in my case I was relieved to learn I did draw my unit 20 with 11 points.Quote:

Congrats Zim on the moose tag. Let us know how you do.
Congrats Zim! Next year I'll be cashing in my 16 points for sheep! Still have a few years for moose since I drew one in 2000.
I didn't draw Moose with 11 NR points. What's bad is I had better odds several years ago with 9 points in the same unit than this year. I had my bags half packed. I'm really bummed out. I figure I'll have to wait until they have to give me a tag, no drawing a lucky permit out of the hat.
I'm getting used to seeing that. I still try to stay hopeful though. But, I do know a couple guys in town who did draw; one for sheep, and the other a moose tag.Quote:
