My dilemma is whether to buy an archery tag or a muzzleloader tag. Due to the cost of gas and the fact that my paycheck has decreased yet again this year, I plan to hunt as close to home as possible.

Although I have 8 quality elk points, I'm actually considering only applying for a point this year.    :yike:    :bdid:

I will be chasing an elk during early archery season.  My dad has been trying to convince me to put in for the multi season so I can come hunt with him as well if I draw.  So, I'm pondering that.  Not sure if I want to put out 180 more towards tags.

I'm going to win the lottery and buy the Governor's tag in Utah.

(Do I have to buy a lottery ticket to win?)
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Charlie, I forgot Kelly and I were putting in as a group. So scratch my original plans because I will be hunting the blues with Mrs. Bucklucky then onto Montucky.

My 7 points won't be anywhere close to enough to hope for a draw tag, so it'll be spikes only in the backcountry for me.  Maybe I'll have some horses for backup to be able to hunt wherever the elk are instead of having to draw a line and say that I can't get an elk out alone past here in two days without losing meat, so I can't hunt past that line.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!
