Well I look forward to this time of year. But always seems I regret how I played it. Did a little more homework this year for sure and am solid with my decision making.

-I can draw an antlered Mulie up north this year. Saving if for next year's voyage to the 100's for what I hope will be a shot at a big mule.
-General archery moose for me this year. Continue to build antlered moose
-Pulling (i hope) an antlerless mulie up north. Lots in a certain spot I have and love that meat.
-Antlerless elk can wait another year. General for me as I have a line on a few that I wouldn't mind gong after
-Wainwright can wait (again). Looking forward to actually planning that one out. Also waiting for better reports on quality in there. Sounds like things are getting better there.
-Trophy speed goat still a few years away. 999

Mostly a priority building year. General will keep me hopping as it is.

To get a moose rio you would actually have to spend less time online and go outside

999s except for NT Sheep. That should be pretty much guaranteed.

I'm going to pull my Trophy Antelope this year. Been a long wait and will be enjoyed. It should time out about right to do a partner hunt with my kids down the road if I pull it now and start over.

I could pull moose, elk and mule deer in the WMUs I want but the speed goat is the focus. Still a good 4 years away from archery antelope. Come to think of it I would most likely pull Camp Wainwright too. Geeze. Oh well. One draw tag per year is plenty for this guy so 999 for everything but the TA and lottery draws.

5 on Antlered Moose so going to apply for a cow at a 2 in 206 and 208.
10 priority on Antlered Elk and using my priority 1 on a cow in 208.
999 on a priority 9 at Wainwright and 999 for a priority 9 on Speed Goats with horns.
Not wanting much due to health issues but fingers crossed for Bison

Taking a chance on antlerless mule deer this year - should have enough priority to at least be competitive.

999 for everything else:

*Settling in for a long wait on antelope.
*Antlerless moose should be good enough next year.
*No idea why I keep spending money on whitetails.
