Title: WY speed goat
Post by: Ace on January 14, 2020, 10:22:38 PM: Got max points and want to use them before I get to old to do this hunt. After all the winter kills I’m looking for info on what unit would be the best choice to get a booker. Anyone hunted a good unit recently?

You may have to go in the special draw for 60 but should draw the others in the regular draw. If you spend the time there & know what your looking for a booner is very doable.

I hunted 96 in 2018 & took an 80 6/8 in a unit that is not near as good as the ones I mentioned. A friend of my buddy’s in Green River took an 84” in unit 57 that same year to give you an example of what’s possible with some luck & knowledge of what your looking at. That’s the hard part. Good luck! :tup:
