Any LE unit,cwmu, or general unit in the state of Utah will have that caliber of buck. It just depends on how long you want to wait.

7 points is just getting started with the le point creep game.

You don't need to hunt an LE unit to kill a 160+ buck in Utah. A lot of the non LE units have better deer than some of the lower end LE units like Vernon. What every you do don't waste your points on Vernon. They give to many tags and it seems like each hunter has a band of people with them all over the place.

If you want oppurtunities and decent bucks every day I'd try to draw the Book Cliffs (if you are only looking for 160+ deer). There may be a few bigger deer on a unit like Vernon but overall there are more mature bucks on the Book Cliffs and endless country to hunt. If you spend a week you should be able to kill a 160-170 class buck on the Books and have multiple opportunities at that class of buck so if you blow a stock just move on and find another one. If you decide to do the Vernon unit you may find some nice bucks but there is no telling who will mess up your hunt with all the people running around on those hills.

Thats just my two cents but 3 of the last 4 years I've kill a mid 170's, mid 180s, and mid 190s deer on general units in Utah and there are the majority of LE tag holders that don't even break over the 160's with bucks from these so called LE units. You just have to hunt the general units a little harder and higher to find the quality animals.

I think with 7 points you would have a pretty decent chance at drawing archery on the Books and may need a few more points to draw a muzzy tag. I know guys that have drawn an archery tag on the Books with 2-3 points, waited the two years and then drawn the tag again in their first year back in the draw.

Good luck, hope some of this helps.
