Heck, this was my first year applying there! The fees were reasonable, but now I feel like I wasted money buying points. Can't throw good money at bad, I'll try to draw soon and get out.
I threw my name in the hat for the first time this year. I picked Utah because of the lower tag fees, but the odds are astronomical. Probably never draw an any sex tag, but hey who knows!
Congratulations on your bison tag! Make it a memory of a lifetime! This was also my first year of applying (in Utah). Good luck, I'll be looking forward for your results.
