Ok - a close friend of mine who will remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the situation has been waiting all his life to draw an LE Elk Tag (a coveted Utah area). Finally - this year - with MAX Points he does. Prior to that his wife had their first daughter in March. So, so far his year is turning out pretty good! However, they just found out his daughter has a nueroblastoma on her adrenal gland - a form of cancer that frequently strikes babies and young children. Looks like they are operating on her on the 17th of this month and she will be in the hospital for a week. The doctors feel that they caught it early enough and the prognosis is good overall for complete recovery. Needless to say, my friend is dedicated to his family and will be at the hospital with his wife and daughter the whole time and as such, is turning his tag back in to the state. He is bummed out about the whole thing but knows there are more important things in life than hunting. He is definitely doing the right thing and there is no questioning his decision.
The question is however - how long do you think it will take him to draw again - knowing it is one of the top 3 most desirable regions in the state for elk?
