Hookjaw, I was in the same situation as you many years ago and did the same thing you say you are going to do. I had 4 points for elk and decided that I really didn't care if I got a big elk and switched to deer. I really wanted a big buck to put on my wall. Well I'm sitting on 9 deer points going into this years draw. I had been applying for quality CWMU's most of that time. I have enough points this year to almost guarantee a tag in those units, but I am not putting in for them for the same reasons you stated. I'm switching to a different LE unit down south this year and I am looking at another 2-4 years to guarantee that I draw that tag. I could get lucky, but I haven't experienced that for 9 years. If only I had made up my mind in the beginning. I don't regret switching to deer, but do regret taking so long to make the decision. Just my 2 cents, good luck on whatever you do.
