Okay guys, I'm stuck at work for a few nights. Thought I'd kill some time with a couple scenarios.
Scenario #1: You draw a unit that you've always hunted in the past. Say a general area you can draw every two years or so.
The summer is spent getting in the best shape possible. You scout your nuts off and find a 170-180" buck that is great for the area. You stay on him until the opener and he vanishes. The last part of the season you give him one last try and finally locate him again.
At the end of the day he's on your back as you pack him out. All the hard work before and during season has paid off and you feel on top of the world.
Scenario #2: You draw a limited entry tag that you've been waiting years on. Or say, you bought a landowner tag for a great unit. Guide or no guide you end up taking a 200" plus buck in Nov/Dec.
Which of these two scenarios would you choose? A good buck taken on his turf where you worked your butt off. Or, a much larger buck that was taken with the help of late season.
