[QUOTE="Buzzard Breath, post: 4565458, member: 3158"] My only recommendation is to go into the draws with a specific plan and don't just start buying points because that is what you understand to be necessary. For some species, it's required, but due diligence should be done before you start throwing money at it. Since you mentioned moose, I'll use it as an example. I'm 46, if I was just entering the points game and wanted to draw a WY moose tag, I'm probably going to be too late. It's going to take more years to draw the tag than I'm going to be alive. I might as well just go to Alaska and buy an OTC moose tag. I like to bow hunt. If I wanted to, I can bow hunt mule deer in CO, AZ, SD, ID, CA, and more, every year without points. Elk and antelope can be hunted OTC in several states and some others only take a couple points to draw. I do recommend that everyone start buying antelope points in WY; them little buggers are plentiful and fun to hunt there. Do a little research and see what's available before jumping in with both feet. [/QUOTE]
