Red Rabbit Report post Posted May 20, 2009 Any unit jumpers out there? With the regs out and apps due in a couple of weeks, are any of you going to change units for your coues hunts? If so, why the change? (note that I did not ask "What Unit?" ) Since I am applying with a nonresident and we are not in the max point pool, I have eliminated the previous top unit as we would have no chance due to the NR cap being reached in the 20% pass. Hence a different unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmc Report post Posted May 20, 2009 Yep... I'm jumping.... after my first, and most likely last mule deer tag ever last year, I'm jumping back to coues hunting. I'm also going to switch the unit I'm putting my wife in based on draw odds for the time she could go if drawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah I'm jumping a little, looking at a couple of units I've never had a tag in. I decided to change in hopes of getting further away from people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krp Report post Posted May 20, 2009 I almost always put a different unit as 1st choice for coues, still alot of units I want to hunt. For 2nd and down I put the old standbys. Will do it again this year and for my 2nd choice also, always seem to find new to me areas that are promising while doing other things. Elk, that's different, I'm much more loyal.

GameHauler Report post Posted May 20, 2009 Like always, I will put in for the BIG COUES on unit 45 and my beloved 36C. Ermesto C After Ermesto's post I may jump. No I will stay here at home mainly because it is to hard for me to be away from the shop.I did make some changes though for my later choices but don't expect anything from them. Bighorn I was forced to change units since the eliminated my choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
