Coueser Report post Posted February 22, 2015 Yotebuster I think you nailed it right on. I have 17 BP this year and when you look at the points carefully and try to account for point creep I think I was still 3-6 years from a guaranteed tag for an early rifle unit that I would want. I decided to go for archery and go have a fun hunt- big bull or not - and get more chances to hunt. Hopefully not too any people were thinking like me or I'll be out of the bonus pass with only 15 tags. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huntmoore Report post Posted March 9, 2015 Great hunt no matter what you decide about guide. I've hunted the past two years on that hunt (Early Rifle 23/23N). My dad and I drew two 23N tags in 2013 with 4 BPs...cousin drew it last year (all of 23) with 0 BPs. What a hunt....be patient. You will see tons of animals. If you want something really special, hire a guide. If you'd be happy with a 17 year wait ending with a 320-350 bull, do DIY. Like I said, either way you're going to have the time of your life... If you get drawn, let me know. I spent a lot of time up there and got some great info from the WM for the unit....glad to hep out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the WM showed you where to shoot 320 bulls on the 23 early rifle hunt he wasn't showing you much. 320 bulls could be killed in any hunt in the state. You don't need a guide in 23 for a big bull. Just put your time in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
