What to do? Go for a 4 point in 5-1 or hunt my doe draw 3-46( Wells Gray)

What to do?

Its been a really slow deer season for me and I've got a free day this weekend to hunt so I want to make it count.

Options #1

look for mature timber close to home at low elevation ( 5-1 & 5-2) and try for a 4 point mule deer. Probably hunt on foot in the timber, not sure if cut blocks are still worth hunting?

Option #2
Try to fill my doe draw in 3-46? Was thinking of hiking river bottoms and low lands ( only scouted on google earth so far but it looks doable)

Option #3
Take a drive out past Alexis creek and go exploring back roads on the quad/ hike a little


What area do you think would be the best choice/ use of limited time.

thanks

you put in for the doe draw and potentially took it from someone who would have used it...... I would go there for that reason alone...

Agreed. Why apply for it if you aren't gonna use it?

Bucks are closed starting on the 10th in region 5

Yep region 5 will be a no go for bucks from the 10th to the 20th.......3-46 doe looks good now doesn't it.

Thanks Chris
Just looked at the regs. again... feeling sheepish that I missed that, 4 point does't open again until later November.

thanks again.
