No love for me and son. Not sure how that could happen. We averaged 5 deer points on our party app. Last year, our second choice had 16 tags.
Of hunters applying last year, 1 had 4 points, 4 had 3 points, 3 had 2 points, and 11 had 1 point. I know things can change, but if things stayed the same as last year, we had a 97+% chance of drawing one of those tags.
Maybe things changed drastically, as far as what other hunters were applying for, and more guys with lots of points jumped into this unit. Or, maybe we were unlucky beyond what seems reasonable.
Oh well, such is life.
A friend did draw an elk tag, so it will be fun to help him on that one. He has some real bad arthritis problems, that come and go. Unfortunately, they seem to increase with cold weather. He has been undergoing some treatments and can get around a little bit.
I promised him if he applied for NV elk, and drew, I would take him to NV and we would find him an elk. So, time to step up and deliver my promise to him.
Here is a link where I took him deer hunting last fall. He was in the worst shape of all time, during this hunt. I am hoping he continues to improve some, or this elk hunt will be a real challenge. he is a great guy, with a great sense of humor, so it will still be a lot of fun.

Hope you drew what you were looking for.
