Definitely stick it out. There were some pretty drastic changes between the regular and special points required to draw. The 5 or so areas I keep tabs on went down by about 1 to 2 points in the special draw and the regular draw went up by 1 to 2 points. I'm sure the "premium" units were less affected but the mid-tier units definitely were. It might take a couple of years to see where things settle out after these price hikes.
Your right I'm just frustrated.

The hunting might even be better after waiting a couple more years. Doesn't take long for pronghorn to hit their peak headgear.

Here's an excerpt from a Boone and Crockett article. "Studies of pronghorn from Colorado north to Montana and Alberta consistently show pronghorn achieving a plateau in horn size by 2 – 3 years of age. Pronghorn in New Mexico and Arizona may have peak horn size later, perhaps 4-5 years of age. Furthermore, young bucks (less than four years of age) are often half of the top 10 largest pronghorn harvested in a region. The highest scoring Boone and Crockett pronghorn trophies, in which the animals’ ages are known, are three years old or younger!"


Just keep applying! You'll get that tag and have a great hunt!
