Just put in for a point this year without a 2nd choice. I now have 20 deer points. Normally I do a point as first choice and one of those season antlerless select hunts for the area around unit 102 as a 2nd choice. This way I get the point and get a whitetail doe but my work schedule is different this year and I didn't want to buy a tag I may not be able to use.
I really need to decide what to cash my points in for.
Whitetails took a big hit from EHD in few year ago in all that local. I hunt a little west of there and when we would run 12-20 whitetails out the corn when combining, now we see 3-4. Unit 103 ( Bonney reservoir), you could count 70-80 in the co-op hay fields, now it is 6-7. 103 and part of 109 have the limited WT doe license for the January hunt,
Arickaree River bottom (102) use to be known for some big bucks, but I have not heard anything for a few years. I assume you have access to private land out there. Also there is a season choice draw.
