Purchasing Wyoming hunting preference points

Don't miss out on a chance to grab Wyoming preference points! This is the last month to pick up your preference points.

For the 2020 season, you can purchase preference points in Wyoming from July 1 through November 2. Purchasing these points will help you in the following years' draw. A nonresident can pick up points for deer, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, and moose. Residents can only pick up points for moose and bighorn sheep.

There is no point system for mountain goat or bison.
