[QUOTE="JCFORD, post: 207062, member: 5240"] Apply every where you can afford. I will say the odds are very long in Wyoming and California with you being so far behind in the current point system. In the case of those two states you are better off in my opinion buying raffle tickets for hunts as the odds are probably actually better. Take a close look at the odds and see where you money is better spent. There are some pretty good deals in Alaska, especially if you can draw one of the special draw areas, like the TOK or the Chugach (sp?) Theses are typically in the $10 to $12 K price range wihcih is cheap for sheep hunt. Also if you can get your money together and be ready to go look at cancellation hunts, an excellent way to save soem money of you can leave quickly. I did my Dall hunt last year in the NWT and the price went up $4k this year from last year. Mostly due to fuel. It took me years of saving and I am still paying for it, but I am also saving for a stone hunt and applying in every state in the west but California & Idaho. Good Luck and have faith. It is a awesome experiance. You will dog tired and hurting so bad you cannot go to sleep from packing out your sheep and the whole time trying to figure out how you come up with the money to go again. That is what I was doing when we got back to camp at 1 a.m. from killing my Dall ram. Planning is half the fun !!! [/QUOTE]
