I knew I was forgetting something, I also got a bison in Wyoming (which has been good to me). So I'm only lacking mtn lion for NA 10. Not sure I'll ever get one.
I have a similar, but easier goal, just want to bag any big game species in the interior western states you listed. It's not something I set out to do a long time ago, just sort of stumbled into almost getting there. Of course after writing this (and a few other things) on my bucket list I've...

I thought one of the proposals from the working group was to replace the MSG weighted point system with a standard bonus point system. It would mostly be a moot point because the two systems yield almost the exact same results, as shown by the Toprut guy about 5 years ago. But people seem to...
