CO - as much I don't like my state anymore, has given me some good tags. A couple of bighorn tags, bull moose and the have snagged a hundred+ years of tags off of the leftover/reissue list - Yeah I know the leftover/reissue tags will go away, but it has been great while it lasted.
I'm annoyed with AZ, I have drawn two antelope tags in first 5 years of trying and now I can't draw any tag and am one of those dummies with 30 NR points trying to get an early bull tag- which I statically will if live a few more years or they don't change the system again.

. I will have 9 points for most categories excluding turkey (only a couple there) and have been actively applying for bison, pronghorn, WRD, and BHD every year and can't even draw a BH whitetail tag. In full disclosure with how late SD draws are many years my fall is busy already by the time they roll around. So the last couple years I only apply for any deer not whitetail tags dropping the odds astronomically. But I remember not drawing BH whitetail with 5 then 6 points two years in a row just bad luck. As for Texas I also started applying for a few hunts 9 years ago as well back then just sheep, exotics, pronghorn, and mule deer. Every year I added a few more hunts to the application and in those 9 years I've drawn 7 hunts. Including a world class auodad hunt, javelina hunt that turned into a elk hunt with desert bighorn in the backdrop, some good deer hunting, a management deer hunt with oryx walking around, and a underwhelming deer and turkey hunt. Headed down in a week for my next adventure hoping to run into a axis deer. With the low odds I've beaten and the quality of some of the hunts it's easy to say Texas has been disproportionately good to this okie.
