I was planning to start buying preference points in preparation for the bonus point system that’s coming. I have more money than I have time. ![Man shrugging :man_shrugging: 🤷♂️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png)

I drew a moose permit with 1 point this year as a resident in Wyoming. I drew a muskox tag in Alaska with no points. Drew mountain goat and moose in Montana with no points. Drew desert sheep in Arizona with 11 points. Drew sheep in Wyoming with 21 points. Drew my first moose in Wyoming with 15 points.I am 20 yo with 1 moose and sheep point in Wyoming, would it be worth it at my age to still buy points? Or is it just an endless money pit.
Now that's a very good idea. I'm going back in early Dec with a bow as the tahr come down from the heights in spring and early summer for early growth to put on some beef after foraging in the snow most of the winter. I've put up photos of mobs of bulls down in the lower country, most were taken in Nov/ Dec. My fav spot used to take me 3 easy hours but now that I've turned 73 it's more like 4 but easy walk. If you're driving from new York( eastern states anyway) and it takes you two days I'm sure you can get to NZ in the same time frame. If anyone is willing to drop everything and join up in Christchurch you will be welcome.Go hunt tahr in NZ diy for cheap. Do it while you still have the legs for it. True that it's not bighorn sheep but it's an alpine hunt.
If you are actually thinking of using it in AK consider a drysuit, seriously.with two moose harvested this year and a pack raft purchased I can use in AK, my 17 WY moose points are not gonna become 18. better to use that cash for a quality pfd.
You can’t apply for everything in the world, so you have to make choices on what/what not to waste money on just for a “chance”. Wyoming moose/sheep/goat points at your age and point level are not worth virtually anything and won’t be even if you continue until you are an old man (or woman?)and likely not even then. There are many, MANY people ahead of you whether they stay as preference points or go toI am 20 yo with 1 moose and sheep point in Wyoming, would it be worth it at my age to still buy points? Or is it just an endless money pit.

I get it, would be in a stream, not in big sea water. Have lots to learn.Amen
I'm in Kodiak right now and took a couple of packrafts (caribou) on their maiden voyage.
I have used my Sea Eagle inflatable kayak many times in various locations in Alaska. The SE, Aleutians, Kodiak and it's very stable.
Not so with the packrafts. Got flipped easily and my gear took a sandy salt bath. Had to wash my guns in a stream. Won't feel comfortable using those again except for in Kauai.
A drunk works hard to get another drink. F&G needs another hit of cash before the shakes set in. DTs blow, ya know. Don't be the other woman waiting for the husband to leave his wife. Spoiler: He never leaves and you spend holidays alone without a meaningful chance for a tag no matter how soon you start or how long you stay. Wait until WY transitions to the 50/50 approach they want for E/D/P. You know is coming to MSG sooner or later. The shakes will start up because no matter the money, you always need more when your goal is a bigger empire rather than more opportunity for hunters no matter how thick a wallet is in the back pocket.I think there is a very strong chance preference points will soon become bonus points in Wyoming. I wouldn't be to quick to unload them.

Rich man's game that saw point costs go up much faster than inflation and now tag costs going up faster than inflation. I guess is okay to only have the rich dream. Those poor folks probably won't even spring for a full body mount. Losers.
