Putting in again but starting over after drawing last year.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I'll apply, but I won't draw even with 14 points.  With the points creep, I'm guessing I might have 4-5 years before I catch up to the max pool and can draw the tag I want.

That's my plan too going forward.  The way their draw is set up now, you basically get one chance to draw the best tags, then you need to apply for something else.  I cashed in my deer points this year and need to find something new to apply for.  I'll draw a primo elk tag in a few years, then will need to do the same for elk.

I used my points last year and had a great hunt. Used 12 points on a unit I could draw with 7. I hunted 16 archery days and 13 of 16 days I could have harvested a 280-330" bull and 2-4 bulls a day. I chased a bull around for 3 days that was harvested and score 403" then moved to another area and chased a 9x7 and a 6x6 and each would have scored 370-380". Never saw another hunter in this area either, it was almost deafing with all of the screaming bulls.
Took me 40 years to draw a tag in this state and YES I am going to start building points again in Arizona and I am 62 years old and no I am not doing points in this state as I doubt I could do it again at 102 years young.

I pulled out of the game.   Having some regrets now, though I was sick of "wasting" money.

The good part is I will start in the draw this year with 2 loyalty points and a hunter safety point and 1 for the year. I got 4 points going into this years draw in 3 more years I will draw again. 3 years ago I drew a deer tag and went down shot a 200" buck and already got 5 points going into the draw this year will draw that tag again in a couple of years.

 :hello:

*Resident* pool with 7 points  :IBCOOL:

I see where you're coming from, Bone. I'm trying to figure out which western state screws the non residents the most and I think we may be in the running. Best wishes to all who apply.  :)
