I say keep trying ,elk are a bit tough to find when the season starts.
There are some that like just being in the woods,then some have that desire to fill there tag and freezer year after year.
Some people hunt the same spot all season,some hunt different spot every time out day after day .May want to try some new area,alot of ground in Washington will seem dead no animals .The way I see it ,if your out there durring season there is a certain amount of luck or odds that you may have a chance of killing something.But that luck goes to 0% if your at home.

If you haven't been building up points over the last 6 years, I would suggest starting.  We do a combination of out-of-state hunting, in-state hunting(use points) and going to a few local areas during late hunt where we have been successful.  For elk, cow tags are not hard to get and getting a cow every other year or so keeps the freezer full.  Youth tags are not hard to get either.
But like many have said, it's the time in camp and all that comes with it that keep me going - getting an animal is the icing on the cake.  I learn something every year :tup:
