Desert isnt a bad choice, i had the tag a few years back and missed a monster, ended up settling with a 24 inch 4X2 on the last afternoon. I live right near the desert though and have gotten to know it better since then, mostly because my boss owns a pretty big chunk of land out there. Quilomene still has some big bucks in it you just have to be patient. But i think that the Wahluke late archery hunt may be the best hunt out there.
