I put in for NM again this year. I don't know why I put myself through the punishment with only 6% going to NR but here I am.... Tough not to with my proximity to great hunting. Regulations changed this year and now you have to buy a non refundable license. It'll be interesting if that holds anyone back from applying this first year. I'm 20 minutes from great dove hunting in NM so I buy the license anyway. What and where did you put in?
put in for
Ibex Elk MD Pronghorn

I will put in for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear in CO. I don't expect to get anything and am stockpiling points. The only one I may draw is the bear for the Bosque del Oso SWA which has the highest bear density in the state.

I haven’t done it yet, but I will apply for Colorado elk, deer, and pronghorn. I don’t like the new small game license requirement for nonresidents, but that’s not holding me back from applying.

^^^ not cool they make you pay for a license you'll never use if you don't draw but it is what it is if you want to have a chance.

Just catching up to what most of the other states do - NR app cost extortion has risen to an art form in most western states. I apply for sheep in nearly all states that offer a tag - annual cost has gone from about $400/yr since I started to about $1800/yr. That doesn’t count the tag costs many of them “borrow” for a few months.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I put in for a Montana "come home to hunt" tag. I used to live there and have a brother that lives there so I can hunt with him and an elk and deer tag cost me $550. Great deal, if I don't score with my longbow I can go back with rifle I believe.

Probably gonna but some PP in Wyoming and Colorado.
I have a decent chance of drawing a mule deer tag in Colorado for my unit.
Problem I’m dealing with, is if I accidentally draw then I’ll be in a pickle.
On the one hand, the past two years I’ve hunted there I’ve seen two 180”+ deer.
But on the other hand....I’m not 100% sure I wanna go
I guess I should put in and see where the chips fall
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Where I hunt its a minor expedition to get there, it isn't a get in the truck, go up there hunt and then come back. Its a full day in and a full day out moving gear. Last year I did have a blast though. I don't want to draw then something happen and then not go....but next year I won't be able to go due to other commitments so its either this year or stay out of Colorado until 2021

W/ zero pts 2nd season-20 different units w/zero pts Some of those units have just touch of public some are over 80% public. Few Great 2nd and 3rd choices in there that you can draw and get PP
