NR 7 points deer

BigMass · Mar 4, 2012

I have narrowed it down to 55 3rd season, 66 2nd season, or 67 3rd season. They all have good to excellent access and seem to be improving each year. I have 7 NR points and should be able to draw any one of the three. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I was looking at odds from a different source and it looked like I could draw them for sure and now that I look at the odds listed here it looks pretty iffy.

Odds are iffy and so is the info that they "seem to be improving each year".

I haven't hunted any of them but have talked to some who have as well as some residents of the Gunnison area and most will tell you numbers are down and although not dropping are not climbing fast either.

Just some thoughts, not trying to discourage you as I would LOVE to have one or two of the tags mentioned.

I think after looking at odds of drawing in several places, I will most likely go with 52 4th season. The way things look I should be able to pull that tag and the dates will hopefully catch the rut. If drawn I will go back a week before the season starts and do all the scouting I can before it opens.

I'm in about the same boat with number of points. Can't really recommend one area over another, but I dont think you can go wrong with anywhere in the gunnison area. Yes, the numbers are way down, but the genetics are fantastics and there has to be a few big buck around. Good luck with whatever you decide!
