Hello All, I'm a new member to this forum. I live in IL and I'm looking to do a western hunt next year. I've started purchasing preference points for Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. I've been purchasing points in SD for a couple years and wanted to do a deer hunt there this year but 3 young kids dictated otherwise. Next year will be the year (I hope).
My question is, if anyone had the choice what would be your go to state or favorite state to apply if you had an option to? I'm not guaranteed to really get any tag, but was curious to get some opinions as to where to focus energy from seasoned DIY hunters. Back in 2006 I hunted the panhandle of Idaho and in 2010 hunted Montana around White Sulphur Springs. I enjoyed Montana way more than Idaho. I have some family in Colorado and may try there too. Thanks in advance!
