[QUOTE="wjohnson1983, post: 4560759, member: 12435"] I just really got into the point game this past year. I have been buying points for WY for a while now, but that was it. WY - I believe 20% of tags are allocated to random draw and then the other 80% go to the folks with the most preference points. It's tiered and you can look at draw odds on the WY game & fish website. Leftover tags moved to a second draw last year. Any left overs after that are available for purchase first come first served. NM - Completely random; No points AZ - Random with points squared. More points you have, the more times your name is in the hat. I believe UT and NV are the same. MT - Haven't gotten into the game for MT. CO - Has points with a draw system and also over the counter tags. I'm sure I got something wrong since I just really started last year to build points. If you want some of what is considered the primo units, you could have a 20 year wait with building points every year. Don't let that discourage you though. I killed an antelope 2 years ago on a second choice tag and had opportunity on a second choice mule deer tag this past fall. Just didn't do my part. I would go out to the fish and game website for each state and look. AZ is open to non res now for elk and antelope. Even if you don't want to hunt it this year, I would go buy the point if its a state you are considering down the road. You have to buy a license to enter the draw and buy the points. I think a license is $165 and the points are $15 each for those species. WY elk is open now for non-res, but if you don't plan on hunting this year, you can buy a point all the way up to September.
