The most recent published odds are 71.4% for resident applicants in 2023 — 28 applicants for 20 tags on the Rifle General either sex hunt. Wyoming publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.

How many preference/bonus points do I need for Wyoming Whitetail Deer Unit 097?

We won't guess. The Wyoming report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.

Is the competition increasing for Wyoming Whitetail Deer Unit 097?

Competition in the resident pool for the Rifle General either sex hunt looks decreasing or stable. Odds ran 54.1% in 2021 and 71.4% in 2023. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
