How many points did you have for a general tag? I have 3. Last year 3 points was almost a shoe in for the general area but I guess not in 2022.

What general area did you apply for ? One thing is good. You won't be spending $$$$.$$ on gas. If you don't mind , where do you live in Ca.? I still have family and friends there. Most in So Cal.

Wy. F&G not DNR Lol !
I ended up moving here after hunting here 37 years in a row.
I know what you mean. What ticked me off was not letting non res. in wilderness. The state can keep you out of Federal lands ? Outfitter's have big pull here and for economy. Doesn't bother me now but it still isn't right.

I read on another forum it took 4 pts. for a general. Not sure as to the validity of the post though.

Last year I had 2 non resident buddies apply for Reg. F. one used his one point and put Reg. F first choice. He drew. Other buddy put a limited choice first and Reg. F second choice. He drew Reg. F. Earned another point. If I remember correctly he had 30% chance to draw as second choice. He gambled and won. It almost sounds like they already implemented the 10% non res cap.

Do yourself a favor and don't hunt here if you don't like it. I'm sure Colorado or Montana will treat you far better…

And I was trying to be nice.
It came to mind though. Scheels had Triple BB 3 days ago.

I'm in Northern CA ( Sacramento area). I have been applying as "general" for all 3 choices. If and when I get drawn I will be going with an outfitter and few that I have spoken to said they hunt in the general zones and wilderness areas. I think next year I am going to have the outfitter do my paperwork so I have a better chance of getting drawn with 4 points.

Outfitters don't have anything to do with whether you get drawn or not in Wyoming.

You are correct...

Thats what i,m saying..

I thought I read that outfitters get 10-20% (or some number) of tags semi allocated to them in their area and get preferential treatment for their clients. Maybe I have the state mixed up or they were thinking about implementing something along those lines.
