In Colorado 260,000 elk tags are sold every year. 43,000 elk are killed every year. That's 217,00 hunters who failed at getting an elk.
Just keep this in mind. If you learn from your mistakes. You should become a better elk hunter every year. However, you won't become a better elk hunter by saving points. Instead of saving points to try to make the hunt easier. Work harder at becoming a better hunter. Hunters are successful every year in zero to one point units. Become one of them.
Point taken, thanks for the explanation. I am trying to become a better hunter. Reading books, looking at maps and trying to scout when I can. They are hard animals to find. It seems like the longest week when you are planning it but it goes so quick during the hunting season.
