I was listening to the huntin fool podcast this morning while on the stairclimber. It was about Arizona deer. They look at everything through a non-residents eyes. Their take was if you have 10-15 points for deer you should hunt now. There are no hunts you can draw with 5 more points over the next 5 years that are better and worth waiting for. My situation is little unique. I am a non-resident with 11 points and will become a resident in 4 or 5 years. Which of these options would you do?
A: Wait until I become a resident and enter the draw with 15 points. Unlimited scouting and hunting time
B: Apply next year and go on a hunt that takes 11 points, hunt and scout in a 2 week window. Enter retirement with 4-5 points
C: None of the above
For more information to help make this choice....
I would like to go on a rifle hunt with these points. After that I may just archery hunt. When I live down there I will do over the counter archery every year while I build more points. I am not looking for a 200 inch buck. I enjoy a hunt where you see deer everyday and with patience and hard work you can find a respectable 4 point. Lower hunter numbers trumps trophy quality.
A, B, or C and why? Thanks for your Opinions
