I have just apllied for unit 21 2nd season for deer. I have 8 points and should have enough for a chance at a tag this year. I am non res. I know the 3rd season is better but I am going with my father and he is not getting any younger , so I dont want to wait. I know there has been some winter kill and that could be a problem. My question is, have any of you hunted there in recent years and have any info on quality and numbers of bucks seen? Any info on the unit would be helpfull.. Thanks....
 
You can most likely plan your hunt, 8 points should get you the tag. You know that the Nov dates are the best BUT, the second season gives you the first rifle chance in that unit. I have not hunted that unit but I did hunt unit 30 in 06, when I took a scouting trip I checked out 21 and saw alot of bucks, if you scout the area and you are patient you should have no problem finding a couple of 180 class or better bucks. Get some BLM maps before you go on a scouting trip, there is plenty of public land to hunt.
 
Thanks for the replys ...Any others??? Yukon , Im still learning all this .. How do I check my pm's? Thanks again......

longshot--Here's the DOW's report and management plan for the area.
It'll be a good hunt for you and your dad if you just want to see bucks. If you are hoping for a 180"+ deer you probably shouldn't hold your breath. Let me know if you draw and I'll try to point out a few areas.

COHunter--It is frustrating to see the points go up so much on a mediocre unit... That's what happens when money gets involved and the internet hype gets out of control though. I know quite a few guys are switching.

I'm done with 21 if I draw this year. If I don't then I'm switching to 61 next year where I won't have to put up with so many damn elk hunters.

I don't want to bum anyone out, but it will be interesting to see how many points 21 takes this year..with everybody bailing out of Gunnison this year and a couple of the magazines pumping unit 21 as the best hunt in the state, I have a feeling that it could take 2-4 more points to draw the 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons..but I hope I'm wrong...
Buck4brains..Thats a HAWG..Congratulations!!
 
I don't know who either of you guys are but it's pretty much an un-written rule that if someone is nice enough to help you out with any information it is a good idea not to share it with anyone else. It's a different story if you went out and busted your arse off and found the info out yourself. Then go ahead and share it if you want.

Stuff like this makes it tough to share information with people. I'm all for sharing a little bit of info but it sounds like COhunter went out of his way to help you out and told you not to tell anyone. But we all know that didn't happen.
