How many points do you have for general deer ?
 
I’m applying for
Wyoming
Utah
Arizona
California
Nevada
Montana
New Mexico

Too many tags to list but I believe at this point after the application season is over I will be at 41 tags
 
Just here in Colorado.

I just don't have the time to hunt other states with little ones at home. I guess I should still apply to build points, but I think for now just hunting CO satisfies my needs. Trophy deer locally and plenty freezer filler opportunities.

California Deer 5 points elk 3 points ,bighorn sheep 1 point antelope 2 points


Arizona deer and elk points only

Utah general deer points only, I drew a tag last year
Limited entry buck and bull

Nevada deer 3 points antelope 3 points and elk
 
My strategy is applying for high end hunts in the states below almost all will have less than a 10% chance of drawing except for my AZ deer this year which I will draw for early December.

California
New Mexico
Arizona
Colorado
Utah
Wyoming
Oregon

And if all else fails I might be going OTC deer in Idaho. You cant beat Idaho $300 deer tag super high harvest number around 50% in a lot of the state.
 
This will be my first year going out of state to Hunt. I have only ever hunted D14 / D16, but this year I am planning a Utah cow elk hunt (Jan '19) with a land owner tag and Arizona Coues deer hunt. I was planning on Montana bow Elk hunt during the rut but recently found out that I have a second little one coming mid September. So that is going to push back all hunts until October.

Congrats I got one due March 1 that is why I put in for points only this year. Plan on taking off s lot of time early in the year
 
Mind if I ask what unit you drew and if you were successful?
@baboltin after this year I will have 2 points in UT there are a few good mule deer hunts you can get on in southern UT with 2 points. If you have points I wouldn't mind the company in 2019 its a year an a half out but never to early. I love application season.

Reminder WY elk non resident deadline is today.
 
Wow, everyone is going big !! That's awesome, I will stick with D12 and some D16 archery.
