Fellas, please help, being from NJ, the only big game animal i can hunt is whitetail deer. We also hunt turkey. Ive hunted black bear and loved it, but now im thinking its time to try some new species out west. I know nothing about it other than you have to draw a tag in most areas. Please help and give me some direction. Once you decide what species you would like to pursue, how do you typically decide where you want to hunt them? I would like to go with an outfitter the first time or two out west since i have never been out there. Is it wiser to choose an outfitter first and then try to draw tags for that area or pick an area and draw the tags? Any info and experiences you have all learned would be a great help. Thank you.
