Can you buy points now for Utah?

[Flaming Antler Outdoors]

I just did my apps today and I believe there was a link for pts only vs Archery, muzz, any weapon options.

Yes

I never swing for the fences in UT hunts. Almost all the elk permits are going to be fantastic hunts unless you are trying to kill 380+ bulls. Im fine hunting lots of elk and a opportunity to kill a 330  or so bull.

Cant draw without applying! I drew book cliffs mule deer with 5 points

funny, swing for the fences LOL, swinging is still better odds even if there is one awesome bull tag and a random permit with 1 to 750 odds.  Still better than 20 pts in Washington.  I drew a unit 27 Arizona muzz bull tag with a random odds draw.  You can't win if you don't play, but playing is getting really hard these days

Putting in for a LE Elk Unit in Utah with 19 points and the newly posted odds have it down to 25%. The point creep is real. Two years ago the odds were 75% to draw this tag. You have to be smart and play the game. Do the research as there are some sleeper units in Utah that are holding some 320-350 bulls with 13-14 points to draw!

Good luck boys!

Anybody think there is a possibility the current state of the economy lessens demand? I mean inflation is off the charts and everybody seemingly has just a little less to spend

Anytime the economy goes south apps drop.  If I was to bet I would bet apps drop across the west this year.

Has the economy went south? I made more money through the bs COVID stuff last year than I've ever made. With all the free government handouts, I don't think anyone (outside of landlords and business owners) has really been hurt in the pocketbook yet. Give it a few more months for inflation to catch up (should really start to hurt after app season) and I bet people start to feel it. From the guys I know that hunt, everyone seems to be all in even though I hope you're right.

And MT upped the NR point fee from $50 to $100.  This year will be the last I hunt in MT most likely.

Ive drawn 3 quality elk tags in WA and none in UT. I have better odds in WA than UT

Stock markets are down close to or over 10% so far this year.  People aren't going back to jobs they quit because of covid and unemployment benefits have ran out.  Read an article the other day that most of the people that haven't returned to work are mostly women and they have no plans of returning back to work.  So that's going to cause a lot of family's going from 2 incomes to 1.  Gas prices are getting bad and are only going to continue to get worse.  BBB sounds like it's dead so no more covid checks coming.  And inflation is driving the price of a lot of things up.  Maybe it will be a couple more months before people really feel it but I know a few guys that are already not planning to go out of state this year because of what they think gas prices will be by this fall.

Getting drawn in Utah is like a lightning strike or maybe a July snow storm in Phoenix.  In as well but zero expectations!  Utah is a true lotto.

It's pretty easy to get drawn in Utah.  I've been drawn the last 2 years. You just have to put in for general season deer.

What is the last day to buy a point

[HAGEMANIAC]

Seems like it's getting late, I'd of thought we'd have results by now!
