I live 2 min from unit 49. It's a good unit for elk and deer. It does take a few points to get a tag.

broncocliff.........I didn't say to not save points. I said to not make your 1st pick for just taking a point. You get 1 point for failing on your 1st pick. So, why waste it by just buying a point. Take a chance at drawing a unit. Even if it has bad odds. You might get lucky and have success. If you win you have a tag instead of just 1 point. If you fail you still get the 1point and have a chance at your 2nd pick. Just the same as if you just bought a point as 1st pick and got your 2nd pick.

Does that make sense to you? Don't waste your 1st pick on just buying a point. Try for a tag instead, and if you fail you still get the point.

Always remember if you fail at your 1st and 2nd pick. You can still get an OTC tag. There's never a reason to not hunt for elk every year.
