OK, that makes sense if you are putting in for a early season rifle hunt in some of the prime area's..
my father has 9 bonus points and has been doing the same thing.. I get it now, but for the first few years, i was trying to get him to stop focusing on a specific spot and hunt, and put in for a good area, and we will find an Elk.
The results have been me getting drawn for 8 years and him bumming elk off me for 8 years.
I am starting to think that there may be some kind of older man cunning move at play here.
