Western application season is upon us, who’s putting in?

Wyoming non resident Elk is up first on the 31st, then it rolls from there.

Any baws have plans to come out West this year?

As a Colorado resident, I also go with a multi state strategy to draw as many tags as I can year after year. No outfitting, all public land. I started building points in CO, UT, WY, MT, AZ many years ago. I’ve still got many years to go to draw in several of those states. Idaho and NM are completely random but I try in NM each year. Idaho hasn’t fit the schedule yet.

It’s getting more expensive and harder to draw every year, so I tell thee, why not now? Forget dreaming about it one day, DO IT NOW. Because we are under attack out here.

My plan for applications this year:

AZ: Elk - prolly won’t draw
AZ: Pronghorn - prolly won’t draw

NM: Pronghorn- prolly won’t draw

WY: Pronghorn - should draw, will take my 4 year old boy for his first experience if I do

CO: Mule Deer - will draw
CO: Elk - will draw
CO: Bighorn Sheep - prolly won’t draw
CO: Moose - prolly won’t draw
CO: Mtn Goat - prolly won’t draw

So barring a miracle I will prolly plan on Wyoming Pronghorn, and Colorado deer/Elk. Which is fine, I always try to hunt those 3 species every year, barring some unforeseen circumstance.

Any of you boys planning on coming out this year? Would love to hear plans
