Urgent help needed...
Got an email from CO. The early rifle deer hunt i applied for in 44 had someone return their tag and I was next in line. I have until 8 am tomorrow to tell them if I want it.
Of course my brother, dad, and I just applied for WY leftover archery tags two days ago and have like a 30% chance to draw a tag between the three of us.
Wyoming elk hunt would likely be week of 9/4 so I could go straight from there to CO which is 9/10 to 9/18.
I feel like I'll be rushing everything and not enjoy a hunt I burned 5 points on in CO and not get enough scouting in.
Right now I'm leaning towards passing on it and just plan to do it next year.
I'm worried they may change the NR distribution of tags in CO next year.
I'm also worried about not drawing anything in WY (70% chance of nada). If that happens I'll likely go OTC archery elk.
