Sorry, i forgot to say how many points for deer around Craig. I knew elk was otc.
The GMU's around Craig consist of 301, 13, 4, 441.
In 2012 the deer draw odds were as follows for applicants having no preference points.
GMU 301 - 75% drew second season and 29% drew third season
GMU 13 - 41% drew second season and 10% drew third season
GMU 4 and 441 - 59% drew second season and 13% drew third season.
There were no leftovers and the units that do have deer leftovers have leftovers for a reason. If you want to hunt deer there apply by April 2, 2013.
I was in Craig yesterday and saw a lot of deer and a few elk. As you would expect in January, they were all down low on private ranches where they winter. I nearly hit a cow elk with my truck between Hayden and Craig. They have a good bit of snow on the ground and it was 15 below zero in the am. The deer looked fat and healthy as did the big cow elk in my headlights.
