Hunters Must Purchase Wyoming Preference Points July 3 – October 31

As a reminder, Wyoming does NOT provide the option to automatically purchase a point if you are unsuccessful in the license draw. Whether or not you applied in the draw, you’ll need to visit the Wyoming Department of Game and Fish (WDFG) website to purchase points. You have from July 3 until October 31. If you miss this window you will not get a point for 2022. So don’t procrastinate – get it done this summer!

To get started, CLICK HERE and follow the steps to purchase your preference points. If you don’t already have an account with WDFG, you will need to create a new account. It’s fast and easy to do. You do not need to apply for any specific units.  Preference points are species specific. But they are not specific to a particular unit or season. You may purchase one point for each species. We recommend purchasing a point each for elk, deer and antelope.

Why Purchase Preference Points in Wyoming

Whether or not you have plans to hunt in Wyoming, purchasing preference points now is a great idea. This will make planning a future hunt much easier. And it will open up more options for you in the future.

As a nonresident hunter, having preference points will greatly increase your chances of drawing your licenses. Most of the elk areas require points to draw. Many Mule deer units also require points to draw. While some pronghorn hunts can be drawn without points, having preference points will greatly increase your options, and help ensure that you draw a tag when you’re ready to book a hunt.

Purchasing points in Wyoming is relatively inexpensive. Unlike some other western states, you are not required to purchase a nonresident hunting license in order to acquire points. You can simply log into your account on the WGFD website, and purchase one point, per species, per year. A Wyoming preference point for antelope is $31. A point for deer is $41. And a preference point for elk in Wyoming is $52.
