I thought about starting to build points last year in either Wyoming or Montana or both but then couldn't commit since I wasn't sure exactly how long it would take to have a reasonable chance to draw.  Waited till the last minute and still couldn't decide on buying points so I did nothing.  I'll probably look at it again this year  and end up doing the same thing

I gave up several years ago when they raised the price of bonus points: $75 for moose.  If it takes ten years to draw a quality tag, you're already in for $750.

That's just crazy, IMO.

I don apply for sheep or moose in Wyoming. I felt like I was too far behind in the point game to justify the cost. Didn't apply for goat this year as I couldn't justify the tag cost for the long odds with no points involved.

Exactly my thoughts.

I have 6 pts for moose and 5 pts for sheep. Ill start thinking I'm in the running with around 11 for moose and about 12-14 for sheep. WY pt system actually works. With fairly liberal tag allotments, the avg pt to draw very slowly rises. Unlike trying to draw in our state or a utah premium limited entry or a kaibab or strip AZ tag. If you're behind "par" so to speak, your time will come.

11 for moose as of 2011.
Had 7 for Sheep, bought one point when they went to $100, assessed my odds again and bowed out four years ago.
None for goat.

Actually the goat tags have pretty good odds for how few there are.  Good... meaning less than 1 and 100

I have 9 points for moose.  I am almost in the game.   Probably will buy another point this year versus applying.   The units I want to hunt had a grand total of 2 random tags last year.

11 point hardcorp.   Thats awesome.   You are on the fence for a guaranteed draw in many units.

Odds are decent but it is a big cash investment that I'm not prepare to make. If you want good goat odds CO is the place to apply.

As of last year I have 11 for moose and sheep so 12 this year.  I have 4 point last year for deer, elk, antelope.  Think about putting in for moose.

[6x6in6]

Moose only.
11 points in hand.  On the verdge of drawing myself for my area of choice but would probably fall into the random draw for that 1 tag.
Realistically, I think I'm still 2-3 years out from a successful draw on points.
I will probably just buy the point, undecided yet.

12 for both sheep and moose just buying points this year going to africa also 6 for deer

I had the idea of building points in my mind from listening to a few of you a year or two ago. This year I seriously looked into it and I'm flabbergasted by the math. Correct me if I'm wrong but basically you're going to spend about $1,000 over ten years building your points per species then about $1,000 once you get drawn... already in for it $2,000 for one animal and then there's the cost of your scouting trip(s) and your hunt 

No wonder people go hunt Africa  7 species for $5,000 sounds cheap now!

[lhrbull]

a lot of my points were bought when they were 7 dollars a year not the 75 and 100 like now.
