Boy, tough life for you! Having experience in both the Desert unit and the Entiat, I think I would try both. The Desert unit will be perfect for you the first couple weeks of November. No other hunts going on at that time, so you can hunt with any weapon. The Entiat is good at that time, but is better once the snow piles up in the high country and the big bucks move down. Either way, expect to cover some ground! Good luck and post some pics
