We are going to be in region C on an antelope hunt and I thought about putting in for a deer tag. I'd like to try to get a good representative mule deer. I've shot my fair share of whitetails here in the Midwest, but this would be my first mulie. I'm setting on 4 points. Is it worth using the points or should I wait? A cousin and I are in the same boat with this decision.

I sure wouldn't use 4 points for a regional tag that you could draw with zero points, if you're lucky (39% chance last year)
Maybe look into some other nearby areas that may have more public land and/or more deer.

If you want to hunt for sure spend the extra $120 and draw the special 2nd choice.

Yea but the 4 points he'll waste cost $160. So total diff is like $128
How do you already have lope tag or are you just figuring to draw? C has some good deer in spots and could bewell worth points but thats still 4 years of waiting used on a easy tag in not best trophy area. There your points if you want to use them just do it!
Just because an area does not need PP to draw does not mean good bucks aren't there. Do some homework and find some likely spots for deer, call the biologist and ask some questions.
Many areas are off the radar for decent bucks and they have them.
That breaks country might surprise you.

Wytex is right but I'd sure rather not spend the four points. After you get hooked on mule deer you'll wisg you had the points for next year. I think I concur on spending the money for 2nd choice special.

Crazy to spend four points on a unit you can draw second choice special.
