No rain here. I saw that that was the trend and I'm perfectly ok with holding out ten or 15 years for a monster. I also saw some otc stuff in Colorado and I was thinking pronghorn in Wyoming.
I have a very long road of building back into my hiking gear though

I have 10 points for Elk in Colorado. 6 points for Mule deer. Max points for sheep and goat. I have points in WY and Montana as well.
It's an expensive proposition every spring. And it is becoming less beneficial as the years pass. For example, on unit might take 14 points to draw. But looking at the draw reports you can see lots of people with 13, 12, 11 points also applied. If the numbers are larger than the number of tags available than the number of points required next year will go up. It's frustrating.
Now, if you want to hunt, apply for 1st choice in a great area and put 2nd choice to an area with leftover tags (even if they are cow tags). You get your preference points and get to hunt and learn during the process. If you can get into an area near where you want to eventually hunt, you can scout as well.
Lastly, don't overlook hunting with a guide with available tags. You will learn a great deal by hunting with an expert. It is expensive but do the comparison. 1500-2000 dollars for a week long DIY Elk hunt in the high country for 3 or 4 years while learning and being unsuccessful would easily pay for 1 quality Elk guided Elk hunt.
