First trip west

[ILrutaddict]

I’m not trying to push you away but as a northern front range resident, in all honesty, those units you’ve thrown out as possibilities are really hard hunting for the seasons you’ll most likely be able to draw at 0 points.

Our higher elevation here on the front range is incredibly thick dark timber. If you want to stick it out and give a go anyways, there’s always a chance you can get a buck with hard hunting but get expectations right. They don’t start moving out of that stuff until mid-late November and I’m pretty sure you can’t draw those with 0 as a NR.

Whatever you decide on, good luck! You’ll have an adventure regardless

I appreciate the input. Nothing trumps experience so I am all ears. In your opinion, would it make sense to select a low odds/higher quality unit as my first choice to pick up a point and hunt a 2nd choice “low quality” unit? I’m super excited to get out and just hunt mule deer, but I do want to give myself a chance to at least see deer. Thanks for the reply!
