Thoughts on 5B and 5A for antelope

[singleshot]

Any input on what you guys think about 5A and 5B as far as a quality antelope hunt would be appreciated. I have 24 points going into the draw this year so my odds are finally about 1%.

Thanks

According to the bonus pass report, there should be only 6 with 24 points this year, and 1 with 25 points. Looks like your door is open to most units. Last year, 23 points was in the bonus pass for unit 10. Eastman's lists 5a as a blue chip/excellent unit, but does not list 5B as either blue or green chip.

I hunted 5A last year and had a blast. I don't know if I would use 24 points on it though.

Eastman has it backwards probably. 5B is the good unit. 5A is not near as good.

Yeah I sponged his elk points for a few years and we finally drew archery bull tags in 1 with 12 points. That was in 2010. I had 8 elk points at that time. We go into the draw with 21 points, I have 24 he has 18. He killed an 88 inch goat in 1999 if I remember the year right. In 19B I believe. DIY

If It takes five more years to draw together I don't really care. May even hire a "guide". At This point I'm just looking at options outside of unit 1, which isn't one of the better antelope units, and has been my first choice for 24 years straight.
