I thought i read in there someplace that a guy could hunt it every couple years but don't know how accurate that is.
You need to get on the Cal Fish & Game website and learn to find your way around. I was just there a couple days ago and there is info under, "drawing statistic's" i think, on all the different hunts, how many tags in each unit, how many guys with max points put in for it last season, what was the lowest points that was still able to draw a tag, lots of telling info in there that will help you decided where your best chances of being able to hunt a "better" area are. You might not get what you want right off the bat but few of us get what we really want but at least we can hunt every year with our second or third choice... Good luck!
