7 point dilemma

[ffbowhunter]

So I have 7 quality bull points. I'm so torn on what route to take. I'm torn between Presscot or Teanaway tag or just putting in for the observatory with a better chance at getting drawing.  I know all the areas well so finding animals shouldn't be an issue.  What are your thoughts?

With 7 points you shouldn't have to worry.

I don't mean to be disrespectful and I hope you draw. With that said, I have almost triple the points you do and I'm still waiting.

Anyone can draw with The Wa draw system.

I'd pick the unit based on my age. If you have a few years of hunting left, draw an easier tag and go fill it.

I have plenty of years left. I was leaning towards the easier draw.

I assume you're talking Archery. I'd pick one of the harder to get tags as my first choice and the better odds tag as my second. Hope for the best, expect the worst. Good luck!

i say go for whatever tag you want anything possible im going with 11 though

I say put In for the units you think have trophy potential. You'll never draw an elite unit if you don't put in for it.

what weapon ? With seven Id not put in for archery 340 .

I drew one of the best tags with 6 points, my brother drew with only 3, and we drew great tags last year as partners. At minimum your first choice should be a Hail Mary, and if you are satisfied with a unit that's not quite top tier then put that as second choice. Good luck

He's not applying where you are.

This is data from the 2014 permit drawings for Quality elk. As an example, hunt 2021 was Teanaway / Modern Firearm. There were 3 permits and 582 applications. Here's a distribution of drawing results by point levels:
