Can anyone talk me out of using my 7 points on a 2nd season deer tag in Unit 66? Looking for a chance at a 180 buck. My definition of a chance is about a 1 out 3 chance of getting a shot if I hunt hard for the whole 9 days. I've read the archives and know that the herd is down from where it was pre-2008 winter, but it seems like that those young bucks that made it through should be trophy size this year, 5-6 years old. Did the young bucks make it through or did they also die off is one of my questions. Thanks for any advice.

Can you draw a 3rd season tag with 7 points? How about 3rd season in 67?

I could most likely draw 67 3rd (or I could last year with 7 points, barely 100% draw for those with 7), but I cannot draw 66 3rd. Thanks for any advice.

Personally I don't think there is a difference between 66/67. Same basin, same terrain, same deer herd. I'm don't understand why 66 takes more points. That's why I would go for 3rd season in 67.
