Thanks Big Fin for taking the time to do this. Between your youtube video series, podcasts, and Corey Jacobson's content I've learned quite a bit! You're a great hunter but even better sportsman's advocate and conservationist. Thank you for all you do!
I don't believe the draw has happened yet. Until it does the leftover OTC tags will not be available. You'll then be able to see what units have tags available and purchase one for around 30 dollars.
If you want to get a couple pronghorn does under your belt while waiting to get some pref points, I would recommend Wyoming. You can get them fairly easy and once you get your pref points built up you can apply for an area where good antelope bucks are roaming around.
I've been contemplating something similar but instead do Wyoming in October (Mule deer and Antelope) and then go to Arizona in January to chase Coues deer.
