Over the years I've had areas I hunt (and fish for that matter) that have had minimum/maximum regs put into effect. It kind of boiled down to me deciding if I really liked hunting (or fishing) the area and was what I shot (or caught) really the deciding factor. If you have a spot in 121 where you really enjoy going and know quite well, bite the bullet and go there. If your brother likes to take any buck and that is his most important factor, go to an open area. (I'm not making any judgment on that one way or the other). 121 will be tougher this year, no question about that. Like any other unit, many of the bigger bucks are either on private ground or in areas somewhat more remote - 121 does have a lot of private ground, particualrily near Lake roosevelt that hold some nice bucks-but .again, most of it is private ground. Basically, I guess, if you are one who shoots only 4 points or bigger it'll be a good spot to go-if you are one who shoots any buck-it will be very frusterating.
