You're in a better position as a resident, but may I ask how many points you have, how old you are, and which unit you've set your eyes on?
Everyone's speculation is different and we're all only guessing since most of the systems have only been around for 10-25 yrs, but IMO, 2, 201, and 10 are going to take 35 resident points (give or take) 15 years from now which is when I guess that point creep will level off.
Hybrid tags wont help you if you guys want 5 tags and that also limits you to unit 2.
2 does, but it's pushing 20 points right now to draw and point creep shows no sign of slowing. I could be wrong and it could get better and it could actually get worse. There are others that don't agree with me, but that's my estimation looking at the developments and the numbers coming in.
Anything could happen - CO could go to all unit draws or add trophy units by cutting tags elsewhere and that could slow the point creep. I still think you're looking at being 65 yrs old before you draw 2.
In AZ, you could have a trophy hunt in 10-15 yrs, but it's going to cost you $160/yr to build points. Same deal in NV, but the odds are slim that you'll draw in 15 yrs. (Edit: 10-15 yrs would get you a unit that would not be quite the same quality hunt as 2, but a trophy hunt nonetheless).
NM is another great option, but it's pure lottery and you could draw multiple times in 15 yrs or never. It costs about 30 bucks a yr to apply and you have to front the almost 900 bucks for the tag/lic which is refunded if you don't win a tag.
Utah is a great place to apply because it's cheap to do so. $75 a year averaged out if you use a lic for two years if you just apply for elk - adding on another species will run you $10/yr per species. Landing a tag on par with unit 2 in CO could take you as long as it would in CO, but there's always a chance adn there's units on par with 61 that you could draw sooner and have a chance at every year.
Similar situation in WY as NM as you have around 0.5 to 2% odds to draw a trophy unit yearly as it'll take many decades to catch the trophy units with points and you have to front the cost of the tag to WY for a month. $50 non-refunded to build points.
Trophy hunting for the DIY hunter leaves much to be desired in CO. CO doesn't manage for trophy bulls - they manage for opportunity. CO comes in a solid 5th behind all these states (AZ, NM, WY, NV) for trophy quality tag access for a NR hunter, 4th ahead of NV if you're a CO resident.
