Preference Points for Resident Deer and Elk?

[Edelweiss]

Now that we are moving back to Wyoming, I noticed I didn't see anything in the regs about preference points for resident elk and deer.

I am just thick in the head or do they really not exist?

They do not have points for residents on elk deer and antelope.

That sucks!

That sucks!

Ya so if you got points try to cash them in.

[Elkoholic307]

Yep. Elk, deer and antelope are all random draw.

So what your saying is I need to cash them in before I become a resident.

Got it!

Looking at Bighorn Valley/Meetetse/Thermopolis/Cody or Star Valley/Bondurant/Pinedale/Big Piney.

Just depends on jobs.

Kind of wierd to come back to Wyoming after 20 years in the military. With all the development it's doesn't much look the Wyoming I left 20 years ago.

Even on hundreds of trips while living in Washington State or Nevada.

Development is a dirty word.

Had Alaska residence for almost 11 years, drew a Tok Management area sheep tag and got snowed out, and drew a Afognak brown bear tag and didn't kill one because we couldn't get a charter. Hopefully I can do those again. Good thing about Alaska is if you are a resident you can hunt sheep, goats and grizzly every year without a guide.
