It depends on if you want to bow or gun hunt, it would take 3 or 4 years to draw a bow tag, you could probably draw a muzzleloader tag the first year and can party hunt during shotgun season and can buy an antlerless tag otc and still shoot a buck party hunting, that tag will cost you about 360. Drop me a pm and we can exchange numbers and talk on the phone if you like. I can explain more details to you. Thanks, Mace
