NR 24 pts Elk and Deer

[okiecat]

Getting old and need to go somewhere. Will probably go with guide. Which one first and where. Been trying to get an eastern mule deer hunt but can’t fit it in my budget.

Resident or non resident?

 

[okiecat]

Non Resident. Thanks PRC

Might draw 66 3rd but could be chasing 44 3rd, 4th and 66 4th for a few years.

I’m 70 now don’t have time to wait. 66 looks to have a lot of wilderness area. Would need a guide, I assume.

44 would be an easier hunt considering terrain but last year it took 25 to draw. You might get lucky with 24. Unit 10 2nd rifle could be drawn but I'm not familiar with that unit as I've only been in it once.

 

[PRCnut]

You could draw unit 2 3rd season and have a good hunt almost all public ground

I'm not sure a guide would help that much in 66. I'm not saying that from experience just research.

I'm a NR with 24 points as you are and I always planned on getting a guide if I ever got the tag. now that it may be within reach I've changed my mind on that. partly because there are almost no guides and they don't seem to want to want business. and if I'm not realistically looking at a chance for a 200" buck why bother . I've killed big bucks I can handle an average hunt myself.

If I could find a guide with access to good private land that would be another matter. that does not seem to be an option.

If you draw let me know if I draw I'd be happy to help you get something out or give you a hand once I figure out what's going on myself.

I wish I would have posted sooner. Ive been on this site for 10yrs reading and trying to figure best option. About time I’m ready they have a bad winter kill and I start over. Thanks to all of you that have replied and had the patience to share. I still haven’t decided. Going to keep reading this evening.

You should definitely try to talk to Tomichi and Coloradoboy!

As stated above you could be in the pool for unit 10 2nd. It's a pretty decent unit, I've never personally seen any bucks that just made my Jaw drop, but still some decent bucks there. There are better units out there though, but there are worse.

I’m cashing 25 this year as well, before I get to 70. 61 is old enough.
