Hoping to see some positive feedback from you guys between your scouting and hunt. I am sitting on 19 points and held out this year.....planning on burning them on this hunt at some point.

2 Strip bucks at home in AZ and 2 high country Wyoming bucks at my parents' place in Wyoming.

I have backpack hunted SE Idaho (66A and 76) pretty hard the past 4 years straight, and 2019 was so bad I am done with it. I'm able to spend 3-4 months a year up there working remotely from my mom's place in western Wyoming and can invest a lot of time and effort. Hard to comprehend how much...

Bonepicker - I'm curious what your impressions were of the hunt and the Steens unit on the whole. I'm sitting on 19 NR points and pretty much decided that is where I will hunt, when and if I make this a priority. I've been hopeful that Oregon's mule deer initiative, which included the Steens...
