We do want to go back to the same area year after year, and trying easier terrain just because we are newbs but then wanting to get better chances at bulls in rougher country doesn't really line up with that goal.

It's all but set in stone that we are going this year. Got my hunting partner even buying some camping stuff off Amazon during their prime days deals last night. That was reassuring ha. Worked him hard this past weekend about going, we traveled for a golf tournament. I didn't shut up about it for more than a minute or two at a time ha.

We essentially want to hike a creek valley for 2-3 miles, set up a camp, and then hunt the draws around us. At this point we are definitely treating it like a camping trip where we will have a miniscule chance of putting a bullet in a bull.
