This might be true in some cases, or at least partly true in many cases, but there are are many other reasons people end up with lots of points. Utah raised the bar for me when they added the multi-season hunts. Although I would like to apply for the LE deer hunts, there are not many really good LE deer hunts and the odds are brutal, so I keep applying for multi-season elk hunts. I always apply for a hunt, not just bonus points, but at 56 years old I view this as the once in a lifetime chance that it is for me now. I’d like to try a multi-season hunt on the book cliffs, but not when I’m hearing that it is really in the dumps. I have hunted with several people that ended up very disappointed on units that suddenly declined after they opened general spike hunts on the unit. I realize very well that hunts are not always easy or successful, it should be a challenge and you need to do your research. It can be tough when you have full moon and extended high-pressure weather patterns or storms that limit what you can do, which is one of many reasons I’m interested in the multi-season opportunities. I could go on about reasons why I have more than 20 points, but I don’t think it is because I want to brag about having points. Some people say that our point system is broke because a few people have more than 20 points, or whatever, but there are in fact many good elk hunts that can be drawn with significantly fewer points. I know point creep is frustrating, but there are worse problems. I think it makes sense to try and optimize our hunting opportunities in Utah and maybe put more restrictions on how we can apply for hunts and accumulate points, but I still think that the system can work for everybody without pulling the rug out from those that have paid some time and money to the system.
