Maybe 10 years ago I was looking on Craigslist for some llama pack saddles. A guy in Reno had some for sale. He was an avid hunter and had pack llamas and all the gear but he hadn't drawn a NV tag of any kind for more than 10 years. He finally gave up. He sold the llamas, sold me the saddles, and started going out of state with outfitters. He said it was the only way he could get a tag.
Honestly, I could get a tag with my points, if I chose a lesser area and just wanted "a tag." But at this point, I'd rather not go than waste all the time, money, and points on a mediocre tag. So, I continue to apply for the best areas, which also have less tags available and less chance of getting drawn, but the best chance to get a real good buck. As much as I love eating elk, hunting big mule deer is still my favorite!
