About this episode
This episode provides a comprehensive guide to the 2026 Wyoming mule deer application process, including tips on units and preference points.
2026 Wyoming Mule Deer Application Guide Tired of how confusing Wyoming's mule deer draw is? We cover how it works and the best mule deer units in the state!

If you've been putting Wyoming off, this is the episode that changes that. I break down the full Wyoming mule deer draw — how the splits work, what all those tag types actually mean, what the 2026 weather and snowpack means for your hunt, and which units are worth your points from zero all the way to 10+. What we cover: • Why 2026 is the last year to buy Wyoming points at the current price — and why that matters • How the Wyoming draw actually works: resident/non-resident splits, regular vs. special, 75/25 point draw, and what the random draw means for you • Every tag type (Type 1 through Type 0) explained in plain language so you know exactly what to apply for • The 2026 snowpack situation and what low moisture years mean for antler growth and herd health • Wilderness area restrictions for non-residents…
