Beginner High Country Archery

[Yooper906]

I recently made another post about 3rd vs 4th rifle...Now, I am contemplating archery.

I am an avid bowhunter and have hunted archery elk in Colorado and Wyoming for the past seven years. I am passionate about archery and shoot my bow regularly. I will hunt a high country deer hunt one year, but not sure if this should be the year. I am now throwing the idea of burning my points for an archery hunt compared to a rifle hunt.

I am torn. Part of me wants to burn my points on a very good unit for archery, that I most likely will never be able to draw for rifle. The other part of me isn't sure if I would be doing the tag "justice," as it would be my first go at high country deer.

I really have nobody to bounce this stuff off if in my "circle" and am resorting to some of you high country hunters for advice.

But for the record, I will definitely be coming to Colorado for a deer hunt this fall!

Some of the biggest bucks in the country are killed by bow hunters who have the first crack at em. Most of those are a product of extensive scouting so let that factor into your decision.
