I would recommend you to keep putting in for your tag if not for a point for deer. There is a large pool of hunters with just a point or two less than you have now, it would be best to stay ahead of the pack. Plus, who knows how the new micor units are going to affect your point pool. They may all change to preference points at which time you will lose all your points if you draw a general season tag. It would be best to put in for your points and draw a decent LE tag in the next year or two. After that you will have plenty of time to put in for elk.
