A lot of people are figuring out they didn’t issue points in the draw if you didn’t get drawn. You had to go back and purchase your point. Yes I bought my point after the draw since it is no longer an option during the draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCMHunter Report post Posted January 5, 2020 Thank You everyone for the information. I live in unit one and agree that there are a lot of small bucks. I was really looking at 2a or 2c but then again access and small bucks has held me back. What is the public access like in 19a or 19b? I am also looking at units 4 and 5. 9 and 10 are really looking good, what is the access to the big bo like and would it be worth purchasing the access permit.

I am also looking at units 4 and 5. 9 and 10 are really looking good, what is the access to the big bo like and would it be worth purchasing the access permit. What is the public access like in 19a or 19b? Its huntable but all the good bucks pretty much get killed on the archery and muzzleloader hunts. 19B has more access available for a trespass fee. I think it’s pretty steep, but if you can pay there are typically some giant bucks. In 19B you can pay for access to Perkinsville, some years there are good bucks there, sometimes there aren’t and you waste $1500. I am also looking at units 4 and 5. In 4A or 4B you might have to look harder for a top end buck but there is tons of public land. Looks like you would be bonus pass for 4B and maybe just out for 4A. 5A and 5B are good units with tons of public land. You probably wouldn’t make bonus pass for either. 9 and 10 are really looking good, what is the access to the big bo like and would it be worth purchasing the access permit. I don’t know 9, but here good things. We hunted 10 this year. You definitely need the big bo permit, don’t get cheap and cut yourself off from more than 50% of the antelope habitat. Last year was supposedly a down year and we saw some really good bucks come out of there. It’s worth putting in for. Good luck and let us know how it goes! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhunter Report post Posted January 5, 2020 Isn’t peak size 4 years old for lope? Old age isn’t a factor for trophy hunting right? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT_Sourdough Report post Posted January 7, 2020 19a is a dying unit, herd size is dwindling and the area will be developed in a big way over the next 10 years. This year, as far as I have observed, the winter herd size is way down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
