Main reason to me at this time is close to home,

A couple of good Deer if you spend the time and with

the economy it just works better right now being a small business owner.

 

As much as I would love a Rocky tag or the girls draw a Sheep tag that would hurt :(

 

My guess would be that the poll will show most do it for knowing the unit best.

 

Good topic Doug.

I just like being in different country than I have here. Southern AZ is really amazing in the cool of late fall.

Mine started off because it was close to home. I started hunting there several years ago when my wife just had our daughter. I figured close to home was best that season. Since then, it has become more because I know the unit best and because my family can come out to camp and hang out with us.

Most important to me is high draw odds and haveing another opportunity to go hunting.

Everything else can be sorted out from that point.

Less crowded.

 

I'll wait for the right tag rather than draw every year. Plenty of other things to hunt while I wait.

I put in for the unit that I do, because I have hunted there for thirty years. The unit holds alot of fond for memories for me and has a spiritual value as well.

 

It is also a unit where you can get away from the crowds and have a reasonable chance of finding "Mr. big"

I put in for the unit I do for the trophy potential and also it's close to my Dad's house, which is the main reason! ;)

I started out hunting a unit that quickly turned into a metropolis. Switched to another that had very little pressure. After several years tried one that was supposed to be 'packed with big deer'. All it was packed with was other hunters and those 'helpers' who seem to tag along. After butting heads with several hundred people each year, I went back to the unit I had hunted before. Half the tags, but twice the access and most of the hunters that draw that unit all go in the same place.

I put in for the unit I hunt for multiple reasons. Since I live in Tucson, I'm not far from a lot of coues units. I've hunted units that hold "bigger" and more deer, but I still go back to my favorite. Now if time is short and the bow is in hand, then one of the closer units works just fine.
