Time to think again of which deer unit

[nvarcher]

011-013; 014; 194,196; 221-223; 231. The late hunt in 015 is a great one too.

194,196 late ONLY, 011-013, 111-222,early or late

Were usually finding lots of 185+ typical and non typical deer in 194-196, but not this year! This shortage of snow is killing this hunt. But for a normal year you can't go wrong with this hunt. NR is difficult to draw. 011-013 is a big producer of great bucks for all weapons but I think it's a little better for archery. 111-222 is another great producer of big bucks and big Elk. Do you want a guide or DIY? I can turn you on to a guide I know for the 111-222 area. The 194-196 I'll be happy to help you out with the info you will need. Let me know if you draw the tag.

I am sitting on 19 non-resident deer points and am willing to wait another 10 years if I have to. I have been applying for only one area the past few years. I have a 183 buck from off the Sheldon (Unit 33) from back in the day, and I'd like to top that with a 190+ buck. Any recommendations? What units are regularly producing that quality of bucks?

Hmmmm 221-223, 014, 011-013, 033 is also great. The late hunt in 194,196 is killer.

Nvarcher and Ikeepitcold: Thanks a bunch for the info.

194-196 Late sounds like a great hunt, maybe the lack of snow this year will keep the big bucks alive for next year. Did you see any good bucks taken in 2010 on that hunt?

I have seen a couple great bucks from 011-013, I'll have to look at that unit a little more.

I love 033 and have hunted it for deer once and antelope twice. In 2010 the deer numbers were down seriously, but there were signs it was on the track to recovering.

I was told by three outfitters last year that 221-223 were really off in 2010. I need to see how it was this year.

I'd really like to go unguided if I find the right area. However, in the area I apply for the deer densities are so low, I would hire an outfitter in that unit.

033 deer is still way Down. Crying shame.

033 is awesome for big Antelope. Ive taken two buddy's inter and they both got 80" bucks during rifle

Take a look at my PIW post in the Nv section. Not the biggest buck we saw but the story speaks for itself.

iKeepitcold: Thanks...I cut and pasted those notes in my notes on that area.
