I know some of you will say region G. I think 89 and 34 are pretty similar would love to hear your opinions if you have any.
I am sitting on 11 points and my son and I were going to go for it this year but the virus hit. We just can't get the time we should give either of these units this year.I know some of you will say region G. I think 89 and 34 are pretty similar would love to hear your opinions if you have any.
Access is not a problem in 89.More public land in 34 than 89. Access can be a problem in 89.
Better check your regulations. LOL. Game warden might have an issue with you deer hunting that late.There is a private ranch in the middle of 89 that doesn't allow public access and has only very limited hunting. The deer season doesn't open until Nov 15 and last year there were 475 elk tags in unit 23 starting 2 weeks prior to the rifle deer season opening. My guess is that a lot of smart old bucks figure out where the private land is in a hurry with all the elk hunting pressure...especially along the main roads where there is public land. Deer also aren't included in the HMA so any private land that landlocks public is pretty much shut off from deer hunters.
Obviously if you are willing to hike miles and weave your way through private land you will be ok but don't expect it to be a piece of cake in 89. Also, don't expect to be alone on the larger patches of public where there are 2 track roads.
Sounds like we are on the same page. That was my exact thoughts as I was trying to make a decision.My wife, myself and one buddy applied for 34. We are NR with 12 points each. After researching we decided on less hassle, more public land, and more diversity of terrain would be better and more enjoyable. I believe with good glassing and research the bucks are the same quality. Looking forward to a great hunt.
We have been hunting Region A for 5 years and know what the On X Hunt chip can do, but still that style of bouncing around private ground is a hassle.
Not sure how ok you will be weaving through private land. I'd be weaving through the public land, unless you get permission.Obviously if you are willing to hike miles and weave your way through private land you will be ok but don't expect it to be a piece of cake in 89.

Lucky? Hardly, my son-in-law earned that deer. He knows where to look and what it takes to find them in places where anyone with a tag can hunt.JM, I think you know what I meant about skirting around all the private land. Nice buck! Someone got lucky and found one that was spotted from a 2 track!

Oh, this one was spotted from one of those busy two tracks in 89 last year.

Shaking one's head about or thinking some advise is hilarious doesn't mean only residents can give it. You said that all by your lonesome Rich.You guys have to remember that in Wyoming, only residents can give advice to non residents. It’s a non written rule of MM.

2. Why would jm77 blow a place up hes hunted his whole life?

Personally, I think NR can give all the foolish advise they want about Wyoming. Makes absolutely no difference to me.
?Pretty sure Shane knows how to pull a string if has a tag
Interesting perspective from someone living in a glass house and throwing stones.You sure have spent a lot of effort trying to discredit Jim's take on things. Pretty confounding given that it makes no difference to you. That's your problem JM. You operate under the assertion that anyone who disagree's with, or maybe has a differing perspective from you is simply a fool. Buzz suffers from the same narcissistic affliction. And that's pretty unfortunate because the both of you are accomplished hunters, who if you could get off your high horse for a minute could help a lot of people out. And maybe you do out in the real world. But the way you talk to people in this forum is fuggin' despicable.
We focus on trophy elk, mule deer, antelope and moose hunts and take B&C bucks most years.
