Wyoming Draw

[Ponscm]

Anyone else put in? ###Went last year for the first time and had an absolute blast. ###Just over a month until we find out if we got drawn (According to last year's timing).

I put in for WY goats this year. ###This will be my first time hunting them. ###Just bought a new .243 too! ###What a good way to break it in. ###Do you gents fly ###or drive to WY?

[paulc]

drive. i hate to fly even though i have to all the time.. also i like to have all my stuff with me and not tied to flight times, someone picking me up, and bring my meat home if lucky.

[Ponscm]

We drive as well. ###Not so bad if you have a partner to switch off with. ###We leave about 6 am on Saturday morning and stay over in Wendover, NV/UT Saturday night. ###From there it is a short 4-5 more hours to our camp. ###Ready to hunt Sunday night through Wednesday and then tool our way back home by the following Sunday around noon. ###It makes for a nice relaxing trip and a chance in the latter part of the week to see some new things and visit some old friends up north.

###This is my third year now putting in and have never drawn, I paid the extra $100 so hopefully this will help.

I fly back to MN every fall to hunt whitetail there and the Dakotas and Montana for pheasant,grouse, ducks and geese. ###This year putting in for goats has left wondering if I should just drive to WY and then drive to the others states and drive back. ###The $400 just to fly my dog would pay for the gas. ###That's a few extra days of driving though. ###I don't know what the heck to do.

[Ponscm]

From the advise of veteran out-of-staters, we paid the extra $100 both last year and this year as well. ###It paid off last year, and we will see pretty soon if it worked again. ###If you don't get drawn you get your money back, so no big deal. ###$100 bucks better not break me, otherwise I should not even be applying for any out of state hunting.

Good luck to all!

I applied as well. This is my first time applying for anything out of California. Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to drive there from socal? If i draw (fingers crossed), how many days do you think i should schedule beforehand for scouting?

[younghunter]

I live in WY and I put in too. ###I've put in ever since I could(when I was 12) and have only drawn 1 time, thats 1 out of 5 tries. ###Hopefully I will draw again this year. I put in for unit 60. ###What units did you guys put in for?

[Hntrjohn]

If I remember right I put in for area 53.

I also did my antelope app. a little diferent this year for CA. I put my wife and I in the same draw and hunt code, but different applications. I will be scouting no mattr what, but she might be the only one hunting.

###That's strike four for me with no home runs this year. ###Looks like my only big game hunting this year will be in A and B zone.

i got it.. area 57 for antelope and area g for mule deer.. i have 3 quality tags this year.. timing is not good since i will be opening a new business in august but at this point i am not complaining.

has anyone out there hunted area 57 for antelope..

[Ponscm]

Well, good and bad news for me. ###

The good news is that I got drawn for two doe tags. ###The bad news is that I didn't get the buck tag I applied for. ###I guess it really isn't bad news...the meat is excellent and I'm already almost through my goat from last year! ###

Time to fill the freezer and concentrate on the ever so popular A and B zone California deer hunts!

I got a tag for area 8 right by Lusk Wyoming. ###Any info/insight??????
