I have Zero point for Utah, CO on the other hand. I know how you feel.I'm in the 24 point pool for 2022.
I'll definitely be paying for my henries tag with a social security check.
I still kick myself for not starting on that one when I was a teenager and the friends I had there started packing in piles of sheds each year while moving cows. OopsHere is my personal favorite, I'm in the 162, often times I have to remind myself not to stick my tongue on cold flag poles or ski lift safety bars.

Haha, so true, I actually have six bear points from when I was a resident from 2005/13, and going to let them expire, since it’s been 10 years as of this year (been a resident in another state since 2014). Back then I was going to try to draw a Bosque Del Oso or 61 tag.Hot take, no one has failed 3rd grade math harder than folks who buy CO bear points.
You folks are dumb as rocks.
About 5 years ago I Iooked at all the available sheep tags, and if you applied for every sheep tag in the west it was ~$2k a year non-refundable. There was about 120 sheep tags available for NR half of those are in NV and WY if I remember right. I'd bet it's even less now.I know that if you took your point apps and fees and annually tossed in an s&p 500 etf, you would probably be able to buy one in canada/alaska faster!

I buy bear points for the same reason I buy the trapping license, to inflate the value of those pursuits to the CPW and hopefully the general public. I don't know if that math works out either, but I can also guarantee any September bear tag I want and get rid of those trash pandas in my yard.Hot take, no one has failed 3rd grade math harder than folks who buy CO bear points.

Investing a few hundred a year in a "savings account" won't buy you many hunts down the road.I feel sorry for the young guys trying to enter the draws first time. If I were them I see only 3 states left that it makes any sense to build points, and 2 random. That’s it. Any other states fees, including WY sheep & moose, are better invested in savings accounts for guided Canada hunts down the road. As a DIYer, not sure if I could stomach that.
