Mule deer Wyoming Options?

You can do that too.

I guess anything would be better than just blindly accruing points only to wonder where you should apply when you have 'x' amount of points.

And of course you and I are different, that's ok.

I'm not taking up for this approach, I've never asked for unit advice on a forum. I may have ten points in a couple states without a plan for a hunt yet. I've been hunting five different states in that same time period, a few more then once. Time kinda gets away from you with work and family. I just keep buying points knowing that I'll eventually hunt there. Some guys, myself included, don't live in the Rockies and can only do one or two trips a year max with other obligations. That and I've hunted a couple units with success and wanted to go back rather then start over. I had a couple units in New Mexico I could hunt pretty regular until the draw odds went to crap after covid.

By the time I draw any limited hunts in Utah there's no telling how many points I'll have

By 23 combined points do you mean you each have 23 or together you have 23. WY averages points between party application members so you would have 12.5 points as a hunting party.

Max points for deer in Wyoming is 18, they have a total of 23; that’s 11.500

Good idea to use them before the NR quota gets cut to 10%.

Ya, my math was off.

Some of the better general zones are going to be your best bet. I few decent hunts in the central part of the state with your points.

That winter kill sure put a damper on mule deer options. I currently have 17NR points and would love to use them before I age out. I am tempted to just grab a few buddies and share more points and go hunt.

That's a great plan, buddy!

Just casually looking through Toprut I found more then one hunt you could draw with those points that look pretty promising

You’re looking at things from your perspective. I’ll stop and imagine for a second someone who doesn’t even know what odds or points are. There are so many newbies in western hunting that don’t know a single thing. Look at them as student drivers. I could reply by saying, is it so hard to give them a quick answer? Or point them in the right direction? I mean, what are talk forums for?

Your about 20 years late if you wanted to log in and get help on your hunt via a forum. Tags were plentiful, lower “big game hunters”, draw odds were good, you tube warriors “smoking” critters beyond eye sight. I relish the days of getting the game and fish big game packets usps after calling to request them. Spreading maps out on table tops and pouring over paper copies of hunting stats to develop a plan to hunt a unit. Many here have no clue what I am describing….

I do! Best part of the hunt is the planning.
