I am from CA(hopefully not for much longer!)I started out going to UT for over the counter deer 27 years ago, then started applying for Elk in AZ 20 years ago, adding a state every year or so as my ability to do so went up until now I have been building points in CA,UT, AZ, NV, for everything, CO for Deer and elk, MN have applied for everything(not always), WY for deer and elk for the past 2 years and antelope for the past 4. I have been lucky beyond what I should have in NV, and AZ. In CA and Utah I try and go for easier tags, in general archery deer hunts, over the counter archery hunt in AZ. If I draw UT elk this year with 13 points I will have used up most of my decent chances for a while. Not sure what to do after that!
