My neighbor went out there with his dad and brother guided last year and didn't kill a deer bigger than mid 130's. they said they were floored by how few of deer they say on private and land locked public. I was eyeing this unit as well but after hunting antelope there and scouting the more "deery" parts I was not impressed. This sounds terrible but in my opinion there isn't a unit in Wyoming worth 7 deer points. I'm in the same boat and don't have a clue where to go???

LAST EDITED ON Apr-11-15 AT 09:02AM (MST)[p]I also agree that there aren't any units that are worth building up 7+PPs and I don't think waiting for another year or three is going to help in the overall scheme of things. In fact, if bad winter weather hits an area or an area continues to lose habitat due to drought conditions waiting won't help at all. I think a guy could possibly take a deer in the 150s in unit 34 IF he hunts hard the entire season and is lucky, but with 7PPs or more I would look elsewhere if you're talking about killing a 175" or better buck.

Heard the outfitter who had Hendry's Ranch leased for deer last season never even killed a deer on it because of a lack of good bucks.

I along with 9 friends hunted Rob Hendry's ranch back in the mid-90's and not impressed then either. My friend and I hunted 34 deer/73 antelope back in 2009 and never seen hardly any deer. We did fill our Antelope tags.

2014 area 34 buck killed by an outfitters(Trophy Creek Outfitters) daughter-in-law on public land. Also saw a picture a game biologist showed me of one bigger, I'm guessing 180. Also killed in 2014.
