[QUOTE="Ldigio21, post: 3078756, member: 40244"] Big question, how old are you? Im turning 72 and have been applying in all western states with sheep and goats for 20 years. I have max points in the majority of states and still have not drawn. Guess I'm not the lucky guy as I met a fellow in hunting camp in wyoming last year the dress 3 sheep tags in state draws that year. What are the odds? If you can start young and don't mis a year as there is always "point creep" as everyone applies and gets preference points each year. So the point is, keep applying and never mis an application year. And/or go to Canada where the outfitters have tags and you are guaranteed to be able to hunt. In that case save your money as it gets really expensive. There are services like Carter's Huntn Fool that can apply for you for a nominal fee . They also have all the odds/stats at their finger tips. Also, agree with buying raffle tickets as it does increase your odds of drawing (never worked for me, but i'm mr. unlucky) I killed a nice goat in BC in 98 as my second animal on a stone sheep hunt. Comparatively easy compared to the sheep but far from a walk in the park. Don't smoke , be in shape [/QUOTE]
