Hi Guys,
I've had some crappy luck over the last year or so. Last year I drew a Wasatch Muzz elk tag and was pretty pumped to hunt. A few weeks before the hunt I broke my collar bone in a mountain biking wreck and had to turn the tag in. I was lucky enough to draw the tag again this year. As luck would have it, I just recently broke the same dang bone again.
This means I wont be able to scout for another 3-4 weeks, and packing an animal out out with a backpack over the bone will likely be pretty uncomfortable. I also just bought a brand new muzzle loader that hasnt been sighted in yet that I won't be able to shoot for at least 4 more weeks. If I surrender the tag, I'll likely draw it again next year.
So what would you do? Keep it or turn it in and wait for next year? Any reason why this year on the Wasatch will be a better than average year? Am I going to be too far behind not being able to scout? Any advice would be appreciated.
