The season and where I want to hunt takes points. Ok, so I save points. The minute I get enough points and make it my 1st choice, my points are gone and I start over again.

Then next year i'm hunting an area and season I don't want to so I can get points again.

Try to get a muzzleloading bull elk tag in a good area. In my case it's not even a good area. I just want an area that's close to me.

I run into the same thing in fly fishing. We have the caddis hatch on the Arkansas River every year. Good luck getting near the river during the hatch. Everybody and their brother comes to fish it. I usually get pissed and go fish a creek in the mountains. Few do that. It's too much work.

I do the same with hunting. I go where nobody wants to go. Hopefully, the elk won't feel that way too.

Oh well. That's what I get for living in paradise.
