Hope some of you guys can steer me in the right direction.
Me and my hunting partner have 11 NR deer points. I know thats too many in most peoples minds but, we didn't care as we were accumulating them figuring we can hunt where we want when we're ready. Its time! we haven't hunted out west for a few yrs now since I drew my Wy ram tag in 2014,that hunt drained me financially and fullfilled me hunting wise. I'm finally out of it and ready to come west again.
I had originally thought 61 would be the hunt to do but have recently decided 61 would be tough and decided on unit 21(for now while I do more research)
If you think there is another hunt I should consider, please let me know. I know that many would say do an early archery hunt above treeline, but, The elevation takes it toll on me and am not considering a unit like that.
Question: is unit 21 ok for early archery with a goal of 160 to 170 bucks?
The reason I ask is: so many suggest to hunt 3rd and 4th season, the deer arn't migrating from another unit ,are they?
Some notes to understand us:
1. 2 of us, bowhunters from Pa.
2. mostly DIY will consider trespass if available
3. archery but will hunt with bows during a gun season
4. will be driving out and can bring an 4 wheeler and wall tent
5. 1st time muledeer hunters
6. Dont need 200" bucks, will be very happy with classic look 4pt deer
7. can not scout, hope to find some scouting help
8. member, CBA,UBP,UBNJ,P&Y,ECWSF etc.. try to help as much as I can
I need to call the CPW (one of the things I need to do) Is Meeker the office that I should call for unit 21?
Thanks in advance for any comments and help.
