Bow tags take two or three years of getting pref points. I don't know about ML tags. I have two pref points now and will get a third this year. I plan on being able to hunt there in 09. :darkbeer:

Last 10 days it can be hard finding a good buck..
There are some Zones "Countys" that you only need 1 perf points but they are Doe only.
I think you will still need 2 perf points so you are looking at lease 2 years.


As for good hunting that time of the year......

Hunting January will vary from year to year. A cold hard winter will have them yarded up, and they won’t move much (lots of eyes and noses to bust you). You must find active feeding areas. If you are hunting property where they are not yarded up you are in for some long hard hunts. If the weather is mild then they might not yard up and hunting will be feeding and bedding ambush spots, as the best bet. Good luck
