How many of you older guys have thought about how you look at hunting opportunities? I am 80 (will be 81 in a few months) and a few years ago I realized that some of the really great areas I have hunted, I'll never be able to hunt them again. Some of my best areas in Wyoming and Colorado now take over 10 points to draw a tag. A couple of years ago I burned 15 on a Colorado antelope hunt and 15 on a Wyoming deer hunt. Probably won't ever hunt them again, but I still put in for points for lesser areas.
What to do about it? Some areas I learned from other guys, some I wore lots of boot leather out finding them myself. I have found a few guys I trust and really like, so I shared these spots with them. I will continue to be selective and continue this. I encourage other older guys like myself to do the same. If you have a good area and you know you will never have enough points to hunt it again, think about it. Be selective.
Just sayin...............
