EKM:

It sounds like you have been doing your thing for many years. If your experience leads you to change your routine, I bet there is good reason for it. I detect that you change with some regret. It sounds like you have gone out of your way to try to provide opportunities for Elk-ignorant hunters to learn from more experienced Elk hunters and to initiate first time hunters. Having done your part to nurture the sport, I don't think you should feel bad to now pursue the sport with a more closed group.
