A PP must be purchased by the individual applicant and you have to set up individaul accounts on the G&F website to do that. Next year you will definitely have a better chance with one PP than none. However, a lot of the decent units that previously could be hunted with a 100% chance of drawing with 1PP now require 2 or even 3. The main reason is because of big tag cuts this year due to decreasing number of animals in areas where precipitation has been minimal and/or the winter a couple of years ago caused large mortality figures that haven't been replaced yet through fawn recruitment. The resulting decrease in tags has translated into a longer wait for people to get drawn. If you apply as a party, Wyoming adds all the PPs the party has and gives the party an average (no rounding up or down) and one random number for the draw. Everyone is in the PP draw first and if not drawn get a second chance in the random drawing where PPs are not used. Thus, it doesn't increase your chance of drawing by going the party route. What it does is allows the party to all either draw a tag or nobody gets one to eliminate the chance of some drawing and some not if they applied separately. Just a fraction of a PP can make a difference in whether you draw a tag or not. If your party would have an average of 1.5, for example, the tags may be gone before it gets to that draw pool since those with anything above that number would get a tag first. If you have any other questions on Wyoming just send me a PM, as I've been hunting out there most years since 1992 and can answer most of them or know where to find the answer.
