[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 1264838, member: 28854"] You need to look at all the units in the G&F Draw odds section of the website to see what you should be able to draw as a second choice based on the last couple years. I would concentrate on the units east of I-25 for the most part while doing that. Then when you find some units you can draw as a second choice go into the public access section of the website and see what, if any, HMAs and WIHAs there are that allow you on private land without paying a trespass fee. Some of the units may not look like they have much public land that is accessible to hunt, but have quite a bit of acreage in one or both of those programs. When you have done all of that then come back here and ask specific questions about the units you have come up with and I, along with others, can let you know our thoughts. I don't know what you consider that top of the line hunt you mentioned you want to wait for, but you're not going to get it with 5 PPs in a few years. The max for PPs is 11 this year and some of the best units will not even be close to 100% draw with max PPs this year and it won't get any any better with point creep as the years go by. That's the one problem with a PP system and most other systems where if you don't get in the year one is started you'll never get to the top units that generally don't have that many tags issued. Also, if you want to hunt a second choice make sure you put down the very hard units to draw as a first choice. You may just get lucky and draw that top unit in the random draw that you go in after the PP Draw is completed the way the Wyoming system is set up. [/QUOTE]
