My dad and I went on our first western hunt together in WY a few years back. He loved it while we were there, but slowly drifted away with other things in life. This past summer he had open heart surgery - and suddenly he's thinking about trying again.
It will probably only be a 2020 hunt for us, so at that point we'll have 6 points between the two of us.
Trying to research what would be some decent units to go after with 3 points. I plan on bowhunting, likely a few days prior to rifle season. Not sure if he plans on bowhunting too, but either way the main goal is for him to get a buck.
We aren't really focused on trophy quality. We aren't going to pass anything with decent prongs. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to shoot a giant goat...but that's not what this hunt will be about. I would just like to not be limited on options, so mainly looking for a unit with good access, a good number of goats, and preferably bowhunter friendly.
Not looking for anything specific, just some starting points and anything I can do to somewhat limit my unit options. I'd appreciate any advice/experience anyone has!
