My dad and I are getting close to the points needed as well as the time available to put in for Utah limited deer. We have 15 points, so we are right on the edge of Vernon and the 2 bookcliffs hunts. We are expecting our second child this summer so additional hunts weren't in the picture for me this year, but I figured it is a good time to fire up research again.
In the past, we looked at the bookcliffs, but it has since split into the 2 hunts and made for an additional option. We also have researched the west desert mt Vernon hunt some.
I guess I am hoping for some general thoughts about these units. I think I am leaning towards one of the bookcliffs hunts. We are not trophy hunters, but don't care to hunt small bucks for that type of investment either. My dad will be 70 next year, but does incredibly well for his age. We like to get away from the roads enough to leave the road hunters behind, though the days of backpack hunts are past for dad. It is a little too much work for him these days.
Anyway, I am hoping someone will offer some advice or thoughts on the units. Obviously we are not going this year, so I am not really trying to find any specifics. Just trying to narrow down. So any advice or info you would be willing to share would be great. Especially if you have info between the 2 bookcliffs hunts. Pms are always welcome if there is something you don't want to share with the whole world but are willing to let me in on. Thanks in advance and good luck to all on your draws this year! Shane
