[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 289079, member: 1007"] If you want to hunt sheep before you die you NEED as many points in as MANY states as possible. Yes it is spendy to build points but you HAVE to pay to play when it comes to sheep. Rule #1 dont ever apply for rockies in Arizona UNTIL after you kill your desert ram in AZ. This also applys in most other states that have both. Rule #2 Apply, apply, apply. Period. For deserts, apply in AZ, CA, NM, NV, UT. Colorado has some limited desert BH opprotunities but NOT for non-residents. For rockies, apply in MT, ID, OR, WA, WY, CO. You can always apply for rockies in states that have both AFTER you get your desert sheep. There are many more rocky opprotunities in this world than desert sheep. Build points for both but never burn all your points in a given state for a rocky when you havent taken a desert as in some states, a sheep point is a sheep point regardless of type. Nevada has seperate points for each type so NV isnt a problem. If you want to hunt sheep over the counter, come to Alaska if you have an extra 10K to burn. Did I mention apply apply apply?? Oh yeah apply like there is no tomarrow. You simply cannot rely on one state with one set of points. You need as many chances as possible. If youre very blessed, you may hunt sheep in the lower 48 twice before you life is up provided you see 70 or 80 years. If youre one of the rare few blessed beyond blessed you may see 3-4 permits. At least at this stage of the game. Some old timers may see more since they got to build points from the ground up. You however are starting to build points way late. It is never too late to start building points but it is much harder to draw the later you start. Rule #3 stick with it and be persistent. Rule #4 When you do draw, savor the flavor and enjoy.
