This would be a good year to draw AZ deer. Projected antler growth is good. I am due to get lucky. With 15 points for both deer and sheep, I am in no-mans land. You never know though.
Even for someone with as many points as you for sheep, is it feasible that you’ll ever catch up to max? I would think no. I assume the only way I’m ever going to draw an AZ sheep tag is in the random. Was studying units last night after listening to Jay Scott’s run down of the units. Looking to balance “good” draw odds and a unit that can produce a good sheep.
For deer are you all in on a strip tag or chasing something more attainable?
You are right, I will probably never get max points, mortality stands in the way. But, I can hunt some good units where I stand moving forward.
Yes Kellen, I am a glutton and continue to put in for the strip hoping for a random draw as I collect points. I have threatened in the past to burn the points on a coues deer hunt but have never pulled the trigger. I am at the point now, where I can draw a premium hunt in most Western states. Next year I will be hunting Colorado mule deer and so on. I am pretty much done being a point collector.
Dude we can get a coues on a leftover tag. Let’s do it.You are right, I will probably never get max points, mortality stands in the way. But, I can hunt some good units where I stand moving forward.

The strip is pretty much out of reach if you live out of state
