I have been buying points for elk in WY and currently have 7, but I have gotten the speed goat itch. I bought my first WY point this year for them and am browsing through 100 tabs I have open reading about doing the same in other states. I have only archery hunted whitetail in Kansas in what I would call semi-guided. For those of you that got started late on the pronghorn train, would you recommend going with an outfitter somewhere like NM where its a little easier to get a tag while waiting on other states for public land?
I was thinking an outfitter may be good exposure for my first trip out west hunting an animal I'm not familiar with. Or would you go with purchasing a land owner tag in a state like NM where a license is guaranteed if you get the tag and try that route? I plan on rifle hunting. I am currently setting up my GOHunt account and watching videos on the different draws to get familiar, just looking for past experiences and what someone may would do different to get out hunting quicker.
