RE: kansas antelope
you should look into the draw odds for his area and figure out when you're due to draw.....then after you draw if you want to go in following years you may want to put in for the special antelope draw.....ie more money, but higher draw odds.
Ater comparing some units......some quality units can be drawn in a year or 2 with the special whereas regular may take 2-4years....
So yea paying an extra 200 may suck, but if you can hunt your cousins area.....every 2 years, vs every 4 years....might be worth it.....
