I liked this same thread last year. Pretty fun to see who put in for what hunts and why. Sooo... Now that the application period is over, what did you all put in for?

I have 12 LE Deer points. Last year I was in the top point pool for the Book Cliffs Multi-Season tag. 6 of the 8 guys in my pool got the tag- I did not. That makes me a pretty good candidate for that tag this year. After careful consideration, including late hunt dates for both the Muzzy (I can never take off the end of Sept. at work) and Rifle hunts (migratory hunt in the Books)...

I put in for the Book Cliffs Multi-Season once again. This will give me 6 days to hunt with the Muzz, and an entire Rifle hunt if necessary (and if I'm lucky). I know the Books gets a bad rap, but I know of a few giants that made it through last season. ;-) ;-) And my family has hunted it before with great success. I'm looking forward to an exciting year full of scouting and hunting.

Still holding out for that NR Pauns muzzy tag with 20 pts. My doc said I should last a few more years, so there's always hope!
 
to be honest...I don't even remember. Utah is a long-shot for me as a NR. I think I put in for SJ muzzleloader deer with 7 points and SJ early rifle elk with 2 or 3 points. Sprinkle in a few OIL applications and there you have it. If I draw it will be like Christmas and I will be scrambling to see what I put in for.
 
Paunsagant management buck with 10 NR points. Too far behind in the other hunts. General point again with long shots on elk and sheep. Not expecting anything at all.

I have 11 deer points for Pauns rifle.
11 bear points now, did not draw with 10 for wasatch.
14 moose points wasatch, never will draw.

Group app archery deer with my hunting friends, wasatch, manti, and a few others.

My wife with 2 elk, wasatch rifle, wastch deer rifle, mt goat Provo peak

My son, 12 years old: rifle deer wasatch, manti, Monroe and others. Youth elk tag.

Fingers crossed for my wife and son. Me, what ever. I mused to the BIG UN.
 
Pauns Muzzy with 12 points. Probably still a few more years. Maybe I will get lucky.

General Muzzy out in the Basin.
 
I decided to Apply as a NON-RESIDENT this year!

I am back in the LE elk game with 0 points----going for tag #3 if I ever draw again...

Desert Ram as that will give me all of the OIL species if I ever draw it ~~

Point on Gen buck

The Mrs------ Mtn Goat Liedi Peak

LE Deer for Deseret

The Highly coveted Gen rifle buck in the h-Ogden unit

She missed applying for a tag but just did points from 2014--2015 seasons as she was Deployed to Afghanistan for 13 months, maybe this will be her year for 1 of the 3.

"NDMuley, 22 NR points and applied for Pauns! Why not Henrys? Thanks"

YBO, it looks like with 22NR points, he's in the top point pool for the Henry's Rifle tag. Unfortunately, there is only 1 Bonus Tag, which means he has an 11% shot at that tag (if all the same guys apply again this year).

Having put in for the Paunsy tag, it looks as though its guaranteed for him this year (The top point pool from last year will only have 19NR points this year). And with the hunt running right up to the end of October, it'll be a very good year to have the tag.

As a NR I put in for deer, elk, and sheep in Utah. Year 3 for me putting in for all of these. I am 25 so hoping in 10 years to maybe actually start getting interested for some of the units that I have researched. Meanwhile live vicariously through those how draw. Good luck to all in the draw. - QB
 
I found this little spot that nobody knows about and it has huge bucks. I'm pretty sure I'll be guaranteed to draw it with my 2 LE deer points. It's this little island out in the Great Salt Lake.
 
I put in for Wasatch late rifle elk with 12 NR points, Pauns rifle deer (pipe dream there), Henrys cow bison, Wasatch moose, Mtn goat, RM bighorn, bear point and lastly desert bighorn with 11 points. You can't win if you don't play!

The critters have to win every time. I only have to win once.
 
LAST EDITED ON Mar-20-16 AT 07:10AM (MST)[p]been putting in for henrys for years didnt think i would ever draw so put in for pauns.i lied only 20pts.counting this year iforgot i missed 2 years applying.after i posted i looked up my points missed deadline 2 years.
 
I put myself and my son in for the following hunts in the following states
Wyoming
Deer Area G
Elk preference point
Moose preference point
Utah
Bison myself
Moose both of us each
Elk
Antelope
Sheep
California
Deer Area G-39
Elk Tule Elk
Sheep
Antelope
Did the same last year and not one tag have been trying for Antelope here in California for 22 years no tag yet. I am thinking about starting Colorado to improve our chances it is hell being from out of state. I grew up in Utah and left for employment reasons years ago but love to go back and hunt with the family when we can. But just trying to get somewhere to hunt gets harder and harder each year

Good luck to everyone I hope you get the tag you have waited so long to get
 
I took a job in Wyoming in March so I am not a resident anywhere this year. I just applied for points in Utah as a non-resident. This will bring me up to 15 elk points, 13 mountain goat, 3 limited entry deer, and 3 general deer. On the bright side my new job has been great and in 2017 I will get to start hunting Wyoming as a resident.

Colorado 3rd season deer 3pts will draw. Nevada deer 0pts drew last year. Wyoming pref pt only because I don't know what to do there. Have 6 pts already and would like to hunt 102 or 101 maybe 130 or 90 for deer. Gen season muzz Fillmore pahvant. Ded hunter Fillmore pahvant. Rocky mt bighorn rattlesnake unit 16 pts, not even close to drawing that yet.
 
I applied for the Henries tag with two points. I drew it a few years ago with one point so I don't know what happened last year. Must've just been a mistake.
 
Paunsagunt rifle with 16 resident LE points.......maybe??

14 Res Points going for Henries Archery!!

Other than that...General Season Utah and Bonus points for Moose (will be at 14 Res) and Bear (will be at 5 Res)

Gotta get lucky for that Henries tag sometime...Right)

Utah general season archery deer
Sw desert archery elk 1pt won't draw.
Zion big horn sheep 7 PTs won't draw
Colorado unit 62 deer 3rd season 5 PTs should have no prob drawing.
 
Just a point for deer in Colorado since I'll draw a 1st season elk tag.
I have a dedicated hunter deer tag in Utah for the Zion unit, final year of 3 year enrollment. Have about a 50% of drawing an antelope tag on the SWD.
In Arizona for deer my first choice will be 13A general, second choice will be December coues in 6A.
 
Thanks PointHunter. After considering a few other units and thinking of holding out possibly for a couple more years, I decided that it was time to stop "chasing the dream" and just do it. This is a fantastic year for me to do this type of hunt, and I expect to come away with something special.

With only about a week until CCs start getting hits, I'm getting anxious and excited..!!

GS rifle deer in Ogden with 1 PP

Wyoming Non Res Region G with 4 PP (if I draw the Cache cow elk and Region G tags, I'll return the Cache cow elk tag and buy a elk control permit for Ogden.
Purchase another doe pronghorn point since they are cutting my units tags in half
If all else fails, I can get a cow elk landowner voucher for free for the late season

My son:
Res Henry's rifle with 3 points
Ben Lomond Mountain goat with 3 points
GS rifle Ogden ( take him out during muzzleloader as well if I don't draw Region G and Cache cow)
Will buy him points in antlerless for doe deer, doe pronghorn, cow elk.

Good luck to you all in the draws.
