Throwing money away at non-resident draws

[dturbin22]

Idaho $225
Oregon $180
Colorado $ don't remember, but I paid.
New Mexico is a bargain.
Maine Moose not too bad.

Where else can I throw away money ???

Don’t forget about Wyoming

Send me $99.95 and I'll give you the inside scoop on where to apply next!

Yeah that is part of what’s killing hunting in the west……….

Arizona is a rip, have to buy a license to apply. My good friend from Louisana had to wait and pay for 6 years to draw a cow tag. That is some expensive meat. My other pet pive is Michigan Elk, no non-residents. We allow 10% of our tags to non-residents. Like the old days with Kansas , if we can't hunt there they can't hunt here. just my 2 cents. no offense.

I left AZ six years ago and bought a lifetime license. It has already paid for itself considering I can apply for $15 every year. When I actually draw something is when it gets expensive.

You can buy worthless Wyoming Preference Points here in about a month- they will gladly take your cash.

That’s right, just about in time to get that DIY NR allocation down to around 5% or less.

I’m just starting to build preference points and try for non resident tags at 29. It all feels like a pipe dream!

az game regs says you need to live in the state, you might want to check? Just sayin.

Live in the state to do what? I still pay the out of state tag fees, I just don’t have to buy the license every year to apply.

Easy big boy no need to have a hemorrhage, we are all non residents somewhere.

Speaking of which....tonight is the Maine moose draw.

Good luck to all those entered. This is my 34th year. So far, no love.

I don't do draws saves us money to hunt general tags in the 6 states we hunt every year.
Might as well spend it while your above ground
You won't be spenig it when your pushing up daisies in the cemetery.
life's to short to worry about chit you can't change live it while you can

I like AZ's draw system. I've had 4 rifle bull tags, 1 desert sheep tag, a bunch of javelina tags, 4 good rifle coues tags since 2010.

NR's are limited to "up to 10%" but assured no tags.

I haven't drawn a single tag in NV and have been applying for everything for 15-20 years.

Well I'm a resident of nevada and yet to draw an elk. At least I have 9 points now lol. My nephew drew his with 4.

I haven’t spent near enough time figuring out what states I’d put in as a NR, but I keep pretty busy at home. It sure would be nice to have a few more options some years down the road, so I better start soon…

AZ is a no brainer; 1-1/2 years of draws per license makes it reasonably cheap
UT, 2 years per license for essentially a lotto ticket
WY
OR is expensive for the hunt quality
NM, another lotto ticket costing more than UT

Sounds like you have no clue what you’re talking about. I’m an AZ resident and he’s correct.

He bought the lifetime license as a resident and it’s valid even when he moves out of state.

Sheeeeeeeit, that's nothing. I've been applying for bull elk tags in my home state since 1994....NEVER drawn. My pard has pulled 3 in 6 years.

You might consider applying for something other than the #1 area in the state.

 

[gonhunting247]

Heck throw in UT, WY, NV, MT and AZ. It does get expensive, but everything is! NV, UT and AZ are buy a license to put in states, so just put in for everything you are remotely interested in. I have went with this plan and have drawn a few unexpected tags over the years as a nice bonus surprise!

Thanks. I started taking your advice 20 years ago.
