I'll have 5 preference points going into next year. Is that enough to get me a good unit or should I plan a couple more years out?

I don't want to wait too long. Dad is 57. Great health(marathon runner) but you never know.

We want a unit with lots of public land and muleys. Trophy quality isn't important. Access is.

I'll add- we want mountains. Not open country. Want something a little different than antelope type hunting.

I don’t know enough about the area yet to give you a recommendation on a DIY unit. I can give you a good outfitter that takes zero/1 points to draw for pretty decent mule deer. It’s where I elk hunted east of Sheridan.

Wyoming also has general tags it seems like. That may be over the counter? I have to do some more reading on those. I do have points though. I think we're going to be looking at 2023 probably for our hunt. Really want to stay DIY for this one.

-Jake

have to ask, are you dead set on WY?
as there are other places to hunt mule deer, that might net you a hunt without hassle of points needed!

Yes. I already have 5 points for Wyoming.

-Jake

OK well again there are places that don't need points, could save the WY points for some other time no?
but what ever, WY is a great state , best of luck to you's

I want to get my dad into a "good" unit before it's too late. So I don't want to put it off.

Next year is already out. So 2023 it is.

We will have 7 pts going into that season
