For Texas I think 3 now across the board...

It is nice to see them start to pile up in states like AZ and UT though!! Just filled out my first Apps for the 2020 fall seasons!

2 in Texas across the board.
10 for pronghorn in wy
4, 1 and 1 for elk, bear and deer in Co
1 for deer in AZ.

I manage to draw something every year in Texas. But not the big ones.

If this were a competition, that would be hard to beat.

I was a CO resident for the first 52 years of my life. Currently I have 23 elk points, 18 deer points, 15 bear points, 3+ 11 weighted for sheep, 3+ 12 weighted for moose, 2 for pronghorn (I cashed them in a few years ago) and 3 for goat (I drew a goat tag in 2001 and don't care to shoot another). I spent 25 years in the USN and always put in for points even when I couldn't bet back to hunt. In those days points only cost $3 apiece for residents.

I also have 7 points for pronghorn in WY. Just started getting TX points a few years back. I really need to think about cashing in my CO points and doing some serious hunting.

I drew a GDE hunt last year for the 1st time in too long to tell with umm 15LP's I think it was & got skunked much less never seeing a deer, but only 4 deer were taken out of umm 16 ? Hunters including the Standby's ..but still have 20 EXO, 5 GDA, 0 GDE, 5 GDM and 1 in PLA and some LP's in a bunch of stuff that I no longer put in for that go back to the days of paper entry's and a small collection of the PP Manual's when I was drawing Hunts of some sort regularly at least every other year or or better. Gonna start hitting some of the lesser participant laden offerings & other programs while I can still manage to go places by myself.

Nope. I will be staying and fishing in POC for several days before the first hunt date. Was not intentional. The last day of my fishing trip just happened to be two days before the hunt date 6 miles up the road. So might as well hang around and try for it. I have put in for the Chap several of those years and will continue for some future years for sure.

Anywhere from 1 to 17 depending on category. I have been pretty lucky over the years being drawn.

Re: Your preference point count? - 08/14/20 12:06 PM

I have 10+ for pretty much every category I enter except GDA and hog.

I think thats way they started cubing points so many people getting inflated points #'s. I would hate to be just started to build points gonna be a long time, actually I probably wouldn't even bother.
