Utah limited entry

Post by highcountryarchery » Fri Jan 11, 2013 4:22 pm

What limited entry unit do you guys feel is top of the draw. Everyone would like to hunt the henries and the paunsagaunt but it takes forever to draw, so what unit would you put in for in the limited entry units

A friend had a Book Cliffs tag in 2010. Didn't see many deer at first, but moved around and found them eventually. It's a fun unit with tons of access (and by access I mean roads, he never got off the ATV).
Honestly, I've heard good things about every one of the LE units in Utah & I don't think any of them are terribly bad. Heck, many of the general units aren't bad either... great bucks are taken in general units every year. Utah is a great state for hunting and nice bucks can be found just about anywhere if you do your due diligence.

Looking for ideas here too. I have 14 NR points I'm hoping to spend in the next few years. I think I'm right there for a Pauns archery tag......maybe.

You should have a pretty good chance.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.

Tough draw...
typically only 2 tags offered each year. One tag is guaranteed to the applicant with the most points & the other tag goes lottery style to one of the other 200+ applicants. Last year the guaranteed tag went to the applicant with 16 points & there were 14 applicants that will have 12 or more points this year (assuming everything stays the same... which it won't). Realistically, you could still be 10+ years away.
For other NR archery units... the Book Cliffs guaranteed tags last year @ 11 points, Diamond Mountain @ 7 points, and Vernon @ 7 points.
