Thinking about trying for a muzzy hunt in an average unit with 17 points. We will see. Anyone else getting close to drawing?
Hope you guys draw. Has anyone done the math of the total cost you have in by the time you get to 20 or more points? I probably won’t jump in at this late stage in the game. But wondering what it looks like cost wise vs just buying landowner tags in states like New Mexico

There are a lot of good, fun hunts out there that don't take high/max points... It isn't cheap, but by the time you gain a loyalty point, and if you pay for the hunter ed point, you can realistically go hunt AZ elk every decade or sooner. Might not be a rut hunt, but you're still hunting where giant bulls exist

The problem is time. 18yrs ago when I started I was in my 20's and back then lots of the top hunts archery took 10-11pts. Now those same hunts are 20-25pts. So if you started now you are looking at 40-50pts unless something drastically changes in a state like AZ. So no I wouldn't start right now unless you were like 12yrs old and are planning a hunt in your 50's and 60's.
