    Knothead, if you knew this guy's background you would be saying the same things we are saying. If he is found not guilty I will be the first to apologize, but with his history of steeling cameras and disrespectful behavior on this site I highly doubt this isn't true!

    Wyoming deadline.

    BOB, I have to respectfully disagree with you in regards to the cost of out of state hunts. Yes in some cases the hunts cost significantly more, but in a lot of cases the cost is negligible when you compare the cost of scouting in state hunts. For example: If I draw an Arizona unit 10 Antelope hunt I guarantee I will scout as often as possible. I will probably scout a minimum of 5-10 trips. Scouting trips are not cheap! On average I would guess a scouting trip with gas, food and possibly a hotel can cost $150-$300 per trip. Times that by 5-10 and you have spent $500-$1000 on scouting trips alone. My Wyoming Antelope trip this year has already cost me $500 for 1 buck tag and 2 doe tags. That $500 is less than I would have spent to scout any instate hunt. The food, gas and hotel fee's are the same there as they would be here. The only additional cost is my gas there and back and my travel food. Therefore my out of state Antelope hunt will probably cost me less than a typical high end Arizona hunt. Yes, the Antelope tag is about $500 less than an Elk tag. Therefore an out of state Elk hunt could cost me about $500 more than an in state hunt. Obviously these are estimated guesses, but I'm sure my numbers are not far off. I may not scout as much for some hunts as I do others, but either way the difference in the cost far out weighs the quality of the out of state hunts. If I asked 100 people if they would be willing to spend $500 extra on their tag to be guaranteed a quality tag and have a high success chance at getting their animal I would bed a large majority would say yes! That's exactly what I'm doing. By spending a little more on a tag, gas and food I'm giving my self a much greater chance at success at hunting quality animals every year.

    Why I buy points

    BOB, The tag I drew 3 years ago you can currently draw with zero points. I have several friends who draw that unit every year. For the last 3 years in a row my buddies have killed 70-75 inch bucks in that unit. I missed a buck I'm sure was over 80. My buddies have also hunted several other units with zero point draw odds with very similar size animals. I'm not sure about your opinion of quality, but in my mind hunting Antelope every year is quality. Especially if I have a chance at 70+ size bucks! ThomC, I'm definitely 100% average! I struggle for money just like most people. I definitely can't afford to go on out of state hunts every year, but I can afford to buy a few points in a few states. My goal is to have a bunch of points built up by the time I can actually afford to go out of state.

    There is no doubt that non-resident tags cost more than resident tags. That's just part of the deal when you decide to hunt out of state. The cost is definitely higher, but the quality of the hunting is usually higher as well. I personally have no problem paying the higher prices for either points or tags, because with going out of state I'm guaranteed to go on quality hunts every year. Unlike Az, where you may have to wait 5-10 years between quality tags. I want to go on Amazing hunts every year. The only way I can do that is to continue buying points and paying for non-resident tags. The benefits in my opinion definitely out weigh the cost!!!!
