Its a whole lot easier than the swamp though, pushing through thick brush just to find high ground that is an inch above the water.

28 is going to be my 2nd and 3rd choice then, I have a very good chance at getting a tag there. Id love some pointers, ive tried looking at the map but theres just too much land that all looks the same to me, if I were choosing where to go it would just be pin the tail on the donkey

I am leaning more towards Arizona. Since I have 5 choices, I would put a lower chance unit as my first. I have narrowed it down to in no particular order are units 20a, 31, 19a, 17b, and 9. Does anyone have any experience with any of these units. I have kind of written off unit 9 because of the...

Will draw odds and success rates be published in time to look at before applying? Ill keep looking at them now and decide after I put in more research on both states

What kind of clothing would be suitable for wyoming? Just a long sleeve shirt with a lightweight sweater and a midweight hoodie? Since I wouldnt be hunting too far from the road, I dont need to buy as big of a pack and could spend more on another tag

I always thought 36 would be more coues deer than mule deer. I would prefer a mule deer but would take a coues if I saw a good one

I was told on another forum to hunt unit 36, what is the terrain like there? Besides snakes, what other dangerous animals are there? I might borrow a pistol from an uncle on the way up to protect from coyotes if they are an issue

This is a diy hunt and I will be driving to keep the cost lower so I can put some more money into gear for the both of us and any unexpected costs. I think that as long as I can fill up an air mattress for my mom we would camp, I might have a few sleeping pads I could stack which would resolve...

Im entering my senior year of high school and for a graduation present, my mom and I have been discussing a western hunt in 2021. I live in south Florida so and have been hunting tiny deer in the swamp and have no experience in western states. I have put in a good bit of research and decided on...

I want that pack on my back!
