1 year plan. Things I can draw in the next 1-3 years. You never really know anymore.
3-5 year plan. Things I can draw in the next 3-5 years, in theory.
10 year plan. Things I have 8-15 points for.
Lifetime applications. Things I always apply for, these are things like sheep even though I don't have a ton of points. someone has to draw. So I might as well donate my application fee.

Raffles go are really in this 4th pot. I participate in raffles every year, some inside the game agency, some in Conservation groups and some private ones like Hunting Fool and WTA. I don't spend more than $500 a year on this. As it is a lottery.

There are things I stopped apply for as a non-resident that are either completely unfathomable to draw like .0001 percent (New Mexico Ibex billy with a rifle) and non-resident Wyoming non point moose.

I have a couple of other ones I do through programs I am not able to talk about, as I don't want anyone knowing about them. I am sure some of you have them as well.

Since I live in Europe and am only hunting Europe I am just doing points. Saves that whole New Mexico and Idaho tag cost thing from going down the toilet.

WY,AZ,OR,NV,UT,CO,NM for elk — all seasons and weapon types to extend my season should I ever draw two in the same year.
