LAST EDITED ON Jan-05-18 AT 02:27PM (MST)[p]My 72 year old dad has accumulated 9 NR preference points for deer. I posted in the Mule Deer forum but thought I might get more useful info here as well. He usually just goes on a cow elk hunt with me every year, but his knee has started acting up and I think it's time to cash in his points before something happens that keeps him from really enjoying the experience. I did some research on GoHunt and got narrowed down to GMU 22, 3rd season as a likely suitable tag for his situation. I've personally hunted units 10, 18, 20, 21, 28, 30, and 38 at one time or another, but never unit 22. I've driven through unit 22 quite a few times and it looks like excellent deer habitat. Looking at it on Google Earth and OnX though, it looks riddled with roads and I suspect gets hammered with truck and ATV traffic tied to OTC elk hunters. I hunted unit 30 for first season elk this year, didn't see many deer or elk, but loved the unit. He might be able to draw a 3rd season tag in unit 30 this year, though it'll be a near thing. Does anyone here have any recent experience or input on either unit? Feel free to PM me. Thank you!
