Hello a little background before I ask for help. My dad is turning 55 this year and his dream hunt is a mule deer but has given up on the idea that he will ever have the opportunity.
I've been secretly putting him in for mule deer in south dakota the black hill's for 2 years now. Well I called last year and they said it could potentially be a 16 year wait before we get drawn. I'm going to keep putting in there but I already have a preference point for elk and antelope in wyoming and I'm thinking of buying him a preference point for mule deer in wyoming this year and next year taking him on a hunt in wyoming.
I've never hunted elk or mule deer and only have the knowledge of what ive read or watched from videos on both animals.
He's been hunting whitetail in Oklahoma for about 30 years but has never back country hunted. I've hunted whitetail for about 16 years and have been on 1 back country hunt.
Would it be a good idea for me to try and hunt elk at the same time as trying to find him a mule deer or just focus on a mule deer?
Is there any units that would be possible to draw with 1 preference point or should I put in for a couple of years and take him then?
