What are you applying for next year??

OK boys,

2005 is all but over, time to start thinking about what to put in for next year. Anybody have any sweet dream hunts they are putting in for?? As for me I will be putting in for some more preference points in Oregon (still waiting for those pesky Trout Creek Mountains), I will also join the thousands for that precious unit 45 late season tag in Idaho.

CO-archery deer (PP & unit)

Dang! I am jealous! Being in the Navy I have limited hunting time and funds so I will be putting in for elk and deer in Colorado only. Maybe when I retire I'll be able to hunt some other states. Good luck all on your draws.

ABert, Welcome to my world! Being in the service sure puts a crimp in your plans don't it.
You can still apply though without hunting. Most states allow you put in for the draw to collect the preference points without actually being drawn. This way you can continue to stay competative in the draws... and when the time comes that you have the free time/leave to take advantage of the preference points you have accured you can do so. I do it, and have done it for a number of years now.

AGCHAWK,
I've been doing that for a few years now. Only problem is I seldom know where I'll be come hunting season. I've got a few points in WYO but don't know when I'll actually be able to hunt there. Nice to see another Sailor who hunts. I do know I won't be hunting in '07 as I will be over there for a year. I'll have my brother put me in for points for CO that year.

Montana combo tag and may buy a spring bear tag
Idaho elk, deer, antelope
Nevada elk, deer, antelope, sheep
Utah elk, moose, bear
Wyoming elk, deer, moose, antelope
Colorado elk, deer
New Mexico Oryx, elk, deer, antelope
Arizona elk, deer, antelop, sheep

I guess the question is what do you anticipate drawing? If things work out I should statisticaly draw-

Deer in Nevada
Elk in Utah
Moose in Wyoming
Deer in Colorado

Anything else would just be a bonus! I hope I don't draw em all cause the wife would KILL :3 me!

It's getting harder to play the application game every year.

Good luck to you on your draws and hunt(s)!

If all else fails there's always bunnies :)

I'll be on cruise next fall myself, hope to get a week or two of bowhunting in before I leave. I'm stationed at Whidbey Island. Look me up when you get in town AGC Hawk. I've had 4 unsuccessful yrs of hunting here in WA. Blacktails are tough. I might have some useful info for you though.

AGCHAWK
Nehl, I will certainly do that. I plan on doing a little Black-tail hunting in addition to my Eastern Washington Mulie and North Idaho White-tail hunts. I can certainly use all the information I can get.
If ya get time, send me your contact info. My email address is agchawk@yahoo.com.
I have 24 more days out here and should report to W.I. some time during the first or second week of March.
Thanks.
