Here's the deal:
I have reliable intel on two zones in NM. The quality of bulls is the same, however less elk in the one with higher draw odds. The "rut" hunt in the better zone is a Quality-High demand and the tag is more than I want to pay.
two seasons in each zone (archery)
How would you apply? Would you rather hunt the first season in a Zone with more elk or would you rather hunt the rut in a zone with fewer elk and hunters? Choices are :
1) higher elk and hunter numbers for the first, non-rut season
2) low elk/hunter numbers for the first, non-rut season
3) low elk/hunter numbers for the rut
How would you order your choices (1,3,2 or 1,2,3, etc.)
There is no PP in NM, first pick, first choice. And this is not my first archery elk (2 cows and a 5pt in CO and MT)
