Thanks in advance.

Try telling that to the 6000+ that put in a for the rifle tags last year.  Fine by me, I wish 15,000 would put in for it. It never makes my top 4 anyway.

I am more interested in an anterless dag for my wife.  It was my fourth choice for her.

i would give my left testicle to hunt the desert!

There are far better antlerless tags then that one.  Easier access and easier deer removal, but you should draw one of the first three.

I'm saving my lefty for a moose tag.  No 170 buck worth one of my boys.

If she draws it I will take you out and she can shoot one from the truck in about 15 minutes of hunting. Then we'll drive to it and load it up.

Needless to say, she wont have a problem if she draws. Plenty of does and access.

All great and welcome advise.  I hope she draws one of the first three choices, however if not we really like to explore new area and it would only help me get ready for when I draw the desert archery tag in the future. 

Thanks everyone

There was a hog of a 3 point posted on here from last year. It was taken with a bow in desert. The Archery guys work their butts off. They get a few good ones.

Until I shoot a 170 mule deer this left testicle is still up for bids...

Lefty might be in trouble if it was a 180 but no less.

My brother and I both put in for the Desert.  I have a nice muley, but can always use another hanging on the wall...  Especially a 170 class 

My brother has never shot a nice buck, of any kind, hoping he gets his tag.
