LAST EDITED ON Jan-13-16 AT 12:27PM (MST)[p]Crunching some data to find a good place to start scouting for our fall hunt. I'm taking my son for his first deer hunt. Looking at harvest stats and draw odds for non-residents.
Most controlled hunts have low draw odds for non-residents so OTC is more probable but some archery only hunts have better odds.
For those who hunt with both, what are your thoughts on strategy for weighing out whether to put in for an archery hunt or a rifle? Success is the main goal. I would be happy with a nice 3 pointer. I'm sure he'd be exstatic with any buck.
Also, can we purchase a OTC tag and still put in for the controlled and if we get drawn, the OTC tag is void?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
