I apply for the unit and season I want to hunt as first choice for deer and elk every year and then put in for Doe and Cow tags as second choice. For Pronghorn, I have been putting in for Buck and then try to find a leftover doe tag in WY or CO, but those are getting more scarce. I put in for Doe this year. I used 7 points on a Buck deer tag, 3 points on a Bull elk tag and 13 points on a buck Pronghorn tag doing it this way. Some years I get 2 tags, some years I end up with 4 or 5.

Now that the 12 year old is hunting, I am going to start racking up points for Mountain Goat, Bighorn and start putting in for Moose again. I always look to keep the freezer full first and then hunt the "trophy units".
