Unit 79 deer quality questions

Have enough NR points to draw a rifle deer tag in 79, but was wondering what the quality of deer is since it has a high harvest success rate. Would be perfectly happy with a 150 class buck, is this likely ? Not looking for any directions or starting points, I will figure that out. Thanks
 
I've hunted 79 a few times for elk, it would be the last area I choose for deer on public ground, unless you have private access. Or quality area that you've seen a bunch of deer in before. I've personally just seen a few does and a few small bucks on public ground.
 
You will rarely get any positive feedback about units, on this, or any open forum. They’re all “Terrible”. “Not what it used to be”, blah, blah, blah….. Throw a dart at the western slope, and there are 170+Bucks in every single unit, some more than others. Not everyone, or even most guys, will find them.

If you’re looking for some recommendations, on units to hunt, I can offer some help.
