Sorry I had to put things so bluntly, but I really needed to get your attention. I have no idea why the guy would have mentioned any of those units unless you had already got access to a private ranch. If you look in the application booklet you will see they are all starred as difficult public access. The first time I went out there on a deer hunt in 1992 I thought I had things figured out and it was close to a disaster and I sure don't want anyone to travel 3000-4000 miles to have a bad time out there! Change your first choice to unit 27 and your second to 29. Forget about a third choice. Get good maps because you should draw with no problem if you have any PPs. Also, have at least one Garmin GPS with a landownership chip so you know you are on public property at all times. There is a ton of public land (mostly National Grasslands), plenty of animals and some nice bucks, even though they are down a little from the winter kill of 2010-11. The best way to access the unit is from the west side off Hwy 59. I suggest you hunt the south central part of the unit right south of Antelope Creek in the area on the map shown as the "Red Hills". There is also a lot of decent area on the eastern part of the unit towards what is shown on your map as the "Frog Creek Oil Fields". Plan on camping out in a legal area close to the road as they are really starting to restrict off road travel through out the unit. Walk well into the area off the roads and do spot/stalk and you'll have a good time. Most that don't see many animals are ones driving the roads. Trying to hunt the unit out of a motel will waste half your days in travel time because there is nothing inside the unit other than animals, LOL! Good luck and send me a PM if you need more help.
