After reading too much Jack O'Connor as a kid, I have always had it in my mind that someday, somewhere, I would get to hunt a bighorn sheep. Early on, I occasionally put in for a draw, collected a preference or bonus point or two, watched those expire and generally then chose to avoid the high cost and low return on the whole process. Now I regret not sticking with it because I'd probably be sitting prettier if I had, but with no points anywhere and odds what they are, it looks like this hunt will probably never happen. Don't get me wrong, I still put in for a supertag draw here and a raffle there, but that might as well be the Powerball. My question is, is there any remaining reasonable pathway at all for a guy in his 40's to expect to achieve a slim but reasonable chance to go on a sheep hunt in the next 15-20 years, starting now, when so far behind and not in the right bracket to participate in an auction? I am a little rusty on each state's process, draw eligibility, etc. Anybody have a refresher tip or two that might lead to anything resembling a plan in one state or another? And if a supertag/raffle/lightning strike is the only plan, then so be it!
