My dad and I have 9 points for mule deer and I am hoping to gather some info for us. We would like to find an area where it would be reasonable to take 180" bucks if we hunted hard. Are there any areas that fit this description that can be drawn with 9 points? If not, how many points would it take to draw one of these areas? My dad is 54 and in good shape, but I would rather draw a tag sooner rather than later. At the same time, we don't want to settle for a lesser unit though because we can usually find some 170's bucks every year where we live.
I was also wondering about what seasons are usually the best? I would think the later the better because of the rut, but maybe the weather can screw up these hunts.
How are the deer doing in the state? I know the winters took a toll on them a few years back. Have they rebounded or do you guys suggest we hold out a few more years? Feel free to PM me.
