My plans will likely be the same, no luck in the draw and not even go.

Coach, that would be a terrible thing to have to figure out.

The day is coming when I will put in for eastside permits and hunt Oregon, Idaho or Montana every year until I draw a tag.

been that way for several years for me, once I finally draw I'm done with elk in Washington since odds are I will never draw a quality tag again.

Hopefully, fingers crossed I will draw a Utah limited entry elk tag this year.  We plan on getting MT combo tags so if no Utah then the last two weeks of September in Montana.  I may try and squeeze a few days in here either early or late for a Rosie.

Gotta bow for my 12yr son for xmas. Were going to Indian heaven hills for a week. I went there last year for the first time and loved it. Hoping to make it a new tradition.

I will first learn I didn't draw for Wyoming, then I'll find out I didn't draw for WA and off to Idaho for our over the counter elk.

I'm leaning towards throwing the towel in on Quality Bull.  I've got 14 points (15 going into this coming years draws), and am thinking I'm just going to put in as a group with my little sister and girlfriend for Toutle's MF bull tag until we draw.  That'll give them a chance to get away from the crowds and take their first bulls, and me a chance to go archery or muzzleloader hunting in the years to come.

If you've got 15 points there are all kinds of great tags you could pull.
