Having good moisture for access is a huge variable for that first season. With the risk of fire and closures it can be a tough tag to have on really hot dry years. I know several people who draw that tag in the first season with a lot of disappointment as they don't realize that variable. Heck, even into late Oct can be tricky as evidenced by a couple years ago antelope season and huge fire risk.
I may have a buddy who will be drawing a tag this year, but I'd be glad to help with what I know. Some great ranchers down there and some truly amazing country to hunt in.
