It is getting towards the end of some states application period for draw licenses and preferences points. I was reminded tonight that New Mexico applications must be in by the later part of this week. I applied for the bighorn, a vitual lottery percentage to draw... probably not ever draw. Antelope archery in the outfitters pool, was 100% draw last year so I should be writing about a big goat this fall. I also applied for a free range Ibex, this is about a 1 in 10 chance of drawing with a bow and less than 50% kill rate, but should be a fantastic hunt if I do draw. We don't have to rush for preference points in Wyoming, like I have been doing for several years. I believe the price of points going from $7 each to $100 and $75 each for moose and bighorn, will quickly eliminate many people from buying the points. Good for me, I will be able to draw in the zones I want sooner, but bad for the sport, it will further push hunting into the rich mans sport. If you are planning on getting a license in a state where you must draw, you better get on it! Good luck with you tags!
