We have not put in yet, Draw opens Jan. 3rd for non residents to apply. Hope to go to Wyoming to hunt a private ranch...I just want to kill a cow for meat, and cow tags are easier to draw anyways.

Nice, again best of luck drawing! Yea, I agree cows are the easier draw… most want a bull! I’ve never been a horn hunter… just a meat hunter! My Grandpa always used to say, “Ya can’t eat the horns… They make piss poor soup”! Haha. The cow I was able to get this year… we got back just shy of 300 lbs of meat!

My sons, we got back about 150 lbs off that yearling! So our freezer is stocked!

Ha, that’s about right! Them bulls are huge!
For eat'in, I'll take a cow + 1 yearling any day of the week. Bull's can be fantastic if you get them out of the rut, but once they get all puffed up on testosterone, they can be rank S.O.B's at times. I've never had a cow or yearling that wasn't flat out awesome, eat'in.
