Some people apply for tags/units that they will have 0% chance of drawing!
I'm not saying 0.001% chance of drawing... at least there's a chance with that, but actual 0% chance!
That's strange, I have been recommending Wyoming and Montana.Here is a little advice. Recommend Colorado to anyone who asks where to hunt. I have been assured by the residents that Colorado is the best hunting opportunity for them, as well as NR's in all the West.
Maybe we should all get our stories straight and start recommending Canada.That's strange, I have been recommending Wyoming and Montana.
For many it is about just getting out there. With the opportunity that is available, it is possible to do just that just about every year for a variety of species. It is also possible to go just about every year and build points in some trophy units and then hunt those when it's time. Green Chip units as we have labeled them in the MRS often don't take max points and can be one heck of a hunt.When I started looking at hunting out West I wanted to hunt the blue chip areas. I spent about 5 years dreaming and applying to areas I had no to lottery chance of drawing. I then started researching the draw odds. I was shocked how foolish I had applied for several years. I wanted to hunt. I made my first hunt in 2017, returned to doe hunt 2018 with son, and will hunt again in 2020. I would prefer to hunt even if an average area or below than maybe hunt once in a lifetime.
Too late to apply for those states . OTC Colorado is the way to go. The residents on this board told me how great the elk hunting on Colorado is.That's strange, I have been recommending Wyoming and Montana.
I even hunted a yellow chip a couple years ago and had a great time.For many it is about just getting out there.

You will find Yellow Chip units in my antelope application every single year! Why, because I want to have the option of going and I really have a great time doing it!I even hunted a yellow chip a couple years ago and had a great time.
Yep! Spot on. Taking all the data in, keeping it at the strategic level vice in the weeds usually puts you in the woods every year. So much data out there that I think the big indicators get overlooked a lot.For many it is about just getting out there.

my thoughts exactly!!Imagine the draw odds of the ?not so great units? if the people that are being made out to ?not knowing what they are doing? switched to the ?lesser? units? I am personally thankful that there are lots of people putting in for the Unit 9?s of AZ it makes more room for me to sneak into a lesser known unit.
