I was in your shoes last january and was trying to decide what to do, sitting with nine points I decided to put in for the book cliffs tag and I drew it.
I drove 21 hours to the area, talked to a fellow at a local store that had drawn the same tag after trying nine years also.
He gave me a few pointers on some places to start looking, the first morning was very cold and the deer had moved, so around 10:00 am the first morning we move camp north about 25 miles, boy did we find the deer, that afternoon I seen 89 deer but no big bucks.
The next morning I passed up three big mature bucks, one 5x6 about 28", one 4x5 about 28" and one perfect 4x4 that i guessed a 180 buck, I seen some real nice bucks that day and had a hard time not shooting one of them, but my son kept telling me to hold out.
The next morning I shot a buck that grosses 194 4/8 and it looks like its going to net 191 4/8.
The book cliffs is the place for me, I hope I draw it again someday if I live long enough. If you do put in for it and draw I will help you any way I can.
good Luck
