Congrats and sound like you are on the right track unit wise.
If it were me, I’d start in 55 early with my rifle (Aug 15). Then move to the opener of 44 rifle (Sept 15). DO NOT miss the last week of Oct in 45!!!!
A good friend’s 12 year old drew one a couple of years ago. It was pretty fun helping and following along. He ended up killing a beautiful 190” typical. Had an opportunity at a typical over 200” and the poor kid had to pass a lot of 180” deer.
I’ll be in Magic Valley the from about the 23rd of Oct - 15 November. Send me a Pm with your number and we can keep in touch.
Congrats on a great tag!
