Wyoming Moose Draw FAQ
How many preference points do I need to draw a Wyoming moose tag as a nonresident?
It depends entirely on the unit. Wyoming has 32 moose units with very different point requirements. Unit 40 took 2 nonresident points to draw with certainty, while Unit 17 required 20 points. Most units fall somewhere in between—Units 33, 34, and 1 required 10, 12, and 16 points respectively in recent draws. Pick a unit that matches your point total or your timeline.
