Just want to thank you all in advance to the time and any advice given.
Long story short I recently moved here from Maryland. I've never gotten the opportunity to hunt and it's been something I've wanted to do for some time as I genuinely enjoy the outdoors.
I'm working on getting myself a good start for next season, both for bear and deer. I have completed my safety course and finally have my first hunting license at the young age of 28
I've been reading all I can read about deer habitats/behavior, the public lands and our lottery system. I wanted to start building points in order to hopefully, later in life, have enough to hunt a better location. Currently I was looking to apply to next years drawing 1)X5B 2)D9 3)D11 for the rifle season. I want to take some time and get comfortable with a bow before I attempt to harvest an animal with it. I was hoping to see if anyone could give some recommendations to zones that may be better in terms of the ability to harvest both bear and deer?
I've tried to find some answers online in terms of how it will work when I attempt to apply to the draw, but I can't seem
I'm genuinely interested in the D-11 wilderness areas as some of them are harder to get to and they provide a large array of habitats. I figured get away from easy access and look for areas that can shooort deer and work my way from there. Does anyone know if the Access Pass counts as a wilderness permit? Or do I have to apply for that separately?
Thank you all for your time and help
