Burned my NR elk points last year, which is what I began applying for 20 years ago. Along the way I accumulated points for lope & deer as well, but no plan what to do with them. I do know I want out of the Oregon game due to the license purchase requirement and awesome 2 1/2% NR quota. From what I've read my best move might be just to dump the points and exit now. But thought I'd seek suggestions. As I live in Indiana it's a long haul to get out there. I would fly out there for either hunt, as the 3 day drive each way for my elk hunt was brutal. I doubt I can backpack hunt anymore due to strap pressure on pacemaker & massive torn rotator cuff in left shoulder.
I'm a 100% DIY hunter but if necessary would consider a drop camp or basic services if it's a major advantage. I think goals would be any lope over 80" and any deer over 160". I am borderline being able to draw Whitehorse late if that's worth it, which took 22 pts. But seems that hunt had only a 20% success rate?
Units nearby any town with wifi would be a bonus as I could extend my hunt length by working on poor weather days. Thanks for any input.
