Some of my choices have high draw odds and little attention, for this reason I'm extremely hesitant to publicly post my choices  :twocents:

It's not illegal to ask questions and it's already public knowledge where the most desirable units are for a high percentage of hunters lol.
I prefer OTC myself

The best GMU's are out of state.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Never hurts to ask question. Response will vary.

I think most special draw tags are what you make of them.  Guys that hunt hard, scout and work their tails off generally have some chances at great critters no matter what unit it is.  Those who drive roads and don't put forth the effort are generally disappointed.

TRUE... I'm gearing up for a one-way 470 mile drive to scout and hang cams.
I'm hoping my winter soakers show a few good'uns made it through the winter and predators.

Not to mention what type of deer or you after. There are some quality/buck choices for blacktail that are WAY underrated. Some of the units I'd expect nothing less than a high caliber book buck are sitting around 5 points on average. Hell, one of the elk tags I really want is way better odds then most of the ones I generally put in for.
