I'm trying to get my wife her first buck this year and looking for a little direction. We'll probably be a few months pregnant come October and I'd like this to be an enjoyable experience for her.
Looking at the draw odds it seems like our chances of obtaining a tag are near 100% for Box Elder, Kamas, and San Juan Abajo. The only area I have experience with is Kamas. What are peoples thoughts on hunting mulies in Box Elder and SJ? We're seeking quantity over quality as she would be more than happy with a small buck being that it would be her first. Objectives appear to be the highest on SJ but I'm just looking for confirmation on issues like access and hunting pressure from those who have participated in these hunts or live in the areas.
There are also a few other units I'm considering but the draw odds are lower and with the potential for an infant in 2018, I'm not sure how that would all play out.
Please feel free to PM if you'd prefer!
As always, thanks for the help!
