Me and a couple buddies are thinking about coming out next season for first rifle. We have pref points, so drawing shouldn't be a problem. We're debating whether to hunt 55 out of Almont or 65 out of Ouray or Ridgway. Anybody with experience in those units? I think 65 would be a better choice, but my buddy is leaning toward 55. Any opinions would be appreciated!

I did 55 a long time ago, and it wasnt too bad. We may go back there next fall ourselves.
