How many states do you apply in?

[Mr.Ktm]

with applications and points 7 states

 

[resident vs nonresident]

7 states - about 30apps in total.
Realistically out of 30 app:
10-11 are guaranteed
4-5 are 25-35% draw odds
4-5 are 3-7% draw odds
Rest are <1% odds
If i hit the lotto on <1% tags my kid will definitely not be going to any private schools

7-9 States depending on the year and how much "extra" money i have.

[stan_wa]

I have had a rough time hunting out of state on several occasions, even though I’m moderately experienced so I’m actually applying less states this year just Colorado and Wyoming burned all my Montana points last year and I’ll apply for a very low odds Hunt in Idaho as well

So 4

 

[NotchElk]

I’m applying to 3. MT, WY, CO

Will do Mule Deer in 2. ND and SD.

I’ve built out a full 10 year strategic plan for tags to get a better grip on how to hunt elk every year. Getting harder with OTC tags being virtually gone outside a few opportunities. Most years I’ll be applying to 2 or 3 states and building points in 2 to 3 others.

[Eship]

Just PA and KY. Living on the Eastern shore makes it difficult to justify applying way out west. At least while I still have little kids

For Elk that is. I’ll have to get out and go after some Sika deer this year since that won’t take much for me
