Wife Friendly Utah/NV Hunts
Unfortunately for some reason I have only 14 pronghorn points. Must have given up a few years? Can’t remember.- Zim

Utah fees increase: keep applying?
I'm also down to 8 states, only 6 of which are out West. My Utah pts are 14, 17,17 & 21 and if it weren't for the 17 elk I'd be walkin. I should be able to get an opportunity hunt for those eventually. OP, I'd walk at 14 due to the 17 bubble. -
UTAH PRICE INCREASE
Oh ya I'd say 11 is real borderline not worth it. You got a decision. If it were me I'd say 15 would be my cutoff.- Zim

UTAH PRICE INCREASE
This price jump just all the more confirms low point holders to put a fork in it. If you’re invested 20+ years you don’t have much choice but stay in. I’ve walked from several states already, but bought in too much in the remaining,- Zim

Wife Friendly Utah/NV Hunts
So I got a bit of a dilemma. I’m looking for suggestions on hunts for the upcoming UT/NV draws that feature especially nice climates, campgrounds or affordable hotels for the wife to accompany me. Regardless of game quality. She is suffering from some type of depression/anxiery condition and...- Zim

NM Elk Bottom Feeder
It may actually come to this. I’m glad I made hay when the sun was shining back in the 90’s & 00’s. Bull tags are like hen’s teeth now. Wife is asking for elk venison.- Zim

Where To Start
Especially at your age, I’d suggest only buying points in WY, CO & AZ and spend them in low tier 3/5 point units. Possibly ID and/or MT but I don’t apply to those so don’t know the values. You could add NM random if you like but be aware those are single digit odds across the board. Anywhere...- Zim

I changed up my deer apps this year due to retirement. After reading several poor reviews of unit 2 late deer, including a friend's friend who hunted that, I decided to change strategy and try for three mid-tier early archery hunts, one of which I've elk hunted, and saw a shooter buck on the...- Zim

Got mine submitted from China today. Didn’t want to chance jet lag exhaustion. I ended up doing archery elk, archery pronghorn, archery deer & oryx. All my choices were the lowest tier, highest draw % hunts listed, which ain’t sayin much. Except for deer. Went with three Standard priced...- Zim

Colorado Opportunity Elk
Ya thanks for your opinion, but that ain't gonna happen. I once stalked up on three 5x5 & 6x6 bulls in a 1 point unit that I'd be thrilled to hang a tag on today. I've already got 300+ points playing the crap shoot game in other states, which haven't drawn me a good random tag since 2013. So...- Zim

That story was finished, on here, 364 days ago, directly into my only thread on that hunt. Post #129 https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/utah-paunsagunt-archery-deer.325471/- Zim

Portable Freezer/Fridge
Same as mine. Some reviews criticized that, but I actually prefer it. As the primary reason for this is storing frozen fillets or turkey.- Zim

Oh I just got a nice surprise. I had thought my foreign national wife was not eligible for SS spousal benefits. But was informed today that was incorrect. After filing for myself in January, I subsequently double checked and found she meets just enough guidelines, so at her age 63.5, we will get...- Zim

Are we allowed to post products on here? Yours is way better quality than the one I ordered, but I bought a 3 year warranty based on the reviews I read. If it's disposable that's OK, as I will have gotten my money's worth out of it. Mine also has 2 zones split by a vinyl cutting board setup...- Zim

I'll definitely need to check and confirm that with a CO. In the past I just made sure there weren't more than 6 in my box. The comment on 4 is likely just old. It used to be 4 a decade ago. This year I am taking a friend so when we both limit there will be 12 in the box. So I need to make...- Zim

You went to college nearby there? I used to drive over the bridge en route to Port Clinton charter boats and see the guys wading for 50 years before finally getting a friend to drag me in the river 6 years ago. Now I'm addicted. I live 2 hours West of there. Easy drive straight down I-80...- Zim
