That shed is prehistoric. If you've spent enough time on this site you already know deer like that dont exist in Montana anymore.
All jokes aside. Why wait til 2021? You should be able to draw in 2020
~$550/yr for points. This covers 24 different point categories across 6 states. Actual applications inflates this a bit, but refunded if not drawn. Depending on state sometimes a few hundred $$ are lost into the abyss
I would consider going for 1 at a time. Apply separate that way you can hunt LE in Utah twice in a few years. And be able to put forth as much effort as you can getting a trophy for each of you. Book cliffs or vernon would be fun. And looks like you could have either. Good luck
Region 7 is 29,799 square miles. 8,500 B tags would equate to the taking of 1 deer out of every 3.5 sq miles. Take it for what it is, good bad or otherwise. I could see this being of concern with areas with high percentages of public land.
