Gah!

6 years I've been putting in for Mule Deer where we hunt Elk - mostly just to collect points until I was ready to pull the trigger so to speak, as everyone said they're impossible to get even though we always see them around. Well, this year, when I could have just applied for points, I drew 2nd rifle along with my either sex Elk 1st rifle.

That changes things (PTO use) and just getting the extra time off...
