Non-residentAre you resident or Non Resident here in Utah. I may be able to help. 8 May be a bit low, but depending on what weapon you chose there are a few options.

You can draw the Cache unitsListened to the Podcast for Utah & Nevada Elk for 2020 and I'm kinda stuck in No Mans Land! I have 8 points for elk, what units would you put in for to have a good chance in the next 3 years?
I live on the Cache. They're tough (don't even do Meadowville) but if you draw, I'll help any way I can.You can draw the Cache units
I'm with Fin and Cory Jacobsen.
There ain't an elk unit in Utah worth putting in for. In fact, there isn't any species in Utah worth putting in for.
The roads suck, the women are ugly, only food is made of Jello. Can't drink beer.
Of course you can buy one license every 2 years, for a third of what idaho, Arizona, Nevada charge. Your guaranteed 10%of the tags, unlike the other states. You can freely hunt wilderness here. We have actual bonus points so you have a chance unlike pref point states. We don't charge entire tag up front and sit on your money. You can rifle hunt elk in the rut.
As Idaho and Wyoming become hostile to NR and Arizona cut tags up to 50%, I felt Fin was a little harsh on Utah in comparison.
It's unfair to compare the odds of drawing the Bolder or San Juan, where they kill 400"bulls yearly, to some random unit in Idaho or Montana. Or the odds of drawing the Pauns or Henries, to pretty much any unit not in northwest Colorado.
Did I mention the roads suck?
I am sorry, I am less confident in the non-resident odds. I would recommend looking at the Manti - LaSal tags. They are fairly easy for a resident to draw for archery. Again not sure about non-resident.Non-resident archery hunt
What are you comparing?
Utah's mid tier units?
Also. How are Idahos no point odds any better than Utah?
What are the odds differences in the Pauns vs Kaibab?
I get OTC Utah vs OTC Colorado for elk.
My odds of drawing the Henries are better than 40 in Idaho.
Look. I'm fine with less guys in "my spot",
and 3 years ago I might have agreed, but this year, as we've seen Idaho and Arizona crack down on NR, and Wyoming demanding your first born, I think the Utah long shot theory is incorrect. Especially with a $1000 budget like they talked about.
With $1000 you can apply in Utah for about a decade, and with 10 points those mid tier archery units are as good or better than most of the surrounding states.
Figure between NM and WY your sitting on $2k up front. 10 years in AZ, you donated $1600+, similar in Nevada, Idaho., and didn't sniff a tag.
Utah might not be first choice, but I think based on $$invested vs odds, it's not as bad as Cory and Randy portrayed.
But. I'm fine if you want to avoid it.
