Muzzy hunts are good. Or you could do the early desert rifle hunt in october :dunno:
Thought about early desert but I duck hunt out that way and that October timeframe is tough!

Keep building points if you dont think you can hunt and put in next year.

Maybe the herds will improve by the time you’re able to hunt in November.
I think I’ll be ghosting till the herds rebound myself, why have a tag that’s worth nothing. :twocents:

That was my initial thought but unless the Feds change something, which is highly unlikely, I will have this first deadline every year. I am a bow hunter too so that's an option but just would prefer to put my almost 15 year wait to an end with a rifle in my hand.

FWIW, with that many points/years waiting, you would be crazy to forgo a rifle permit opportunity.....assuming you are looking for a “trophy” and not just a notched tag. :twocents:

14 pts is long odds anyway - like 1 in 30 or worse

I fully understand, painfully, that even 14 points isn't great odds for some of the better tags but I still want to apply accordingly. Last thing I want is to happen to draw a tag and not be able to give it my full attention
