Don't want to steal any work from guides but just wanted to throw the idea out there that tags are over the counter with a lot of public land out West. If you decide to try Utah I could help you out. The over the counter tags run from late April to the end of May. The early season here is on a draw system. My hunting partners and I do all of our hunts on public land. We just camp out and usually spend two weeks each spring chasing gobblers in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. Arizona is on a draw system also. If I cam be of any help give me a shout.
