I would like to find an outfitter to take my dad and myself on a hunt in 2020 in Wyoming. We will have 5 points going into the draw. We originally started building points because a friends son invited us to come out and hunt. That opportunity went away and we just weren't ready to go until now. I see many of these outfitters hunt in general tag units which from my understanding are fairly easy to get tags for. It looks like just 1 or 2 points is needed. How should I go about finding one that can hunt where we can utilize our points most effectively?
I see it as we have a few options.
#1 We burn all our points on a general tag and hunt with whatever outfitters accommodates us best.
#2 We apply for a tag that is impossible to get with 5 points and put a general tag as our 2nd choice and go with whatever outfitter we choose. Then keep building points for a future hunt. The only problem I see is I don't know if my dad will be able or want to go back in 5 or 7 years from now. And I'm not positive that guarantees us a general tag.
#3 Find an outfitter that hunts our area and hope he has the hunting style we are looking for on this hunt (horseback and wall tent) and hope for the best.
Now, I'm a dumb flatlander from MI so I could have this whole points thing wrong about how all that works. Please tell me if that's the case. Props to all you guys who are able to figure this stuff out and build points and plan hunts for multiple states simultaneously years in advance. I'm trying to plan this hunt and a 2019 Colorado archery hunt and my head has exploded!
