Seems like lately I've been reading a few threads where guys have been saying things like "having an LE tag doesn't entitle a hunter to a trophy"... Others who say things like, "LE doesn't mean it's gonna be easy"...
I thought I'd ask the question then- Should expectations of LE units be that they will be easier and more productive than general season units, or not...???
My opinion is this- LE units should definitely produced better animals, trophy animals. Let's face it, the meat is the same no matter what the antler size, so on an LE unit, we are lookin for antler size (I would consider this better opportunity). Having the better animals, and more of them is what makes it a LE unit.
Also, I understand that many hunts are difficult, however, if it takes me 16 years to draw a particular tag, I'll admit, I would like there to be some relative ease in finding a trophy animal, and harvesting him. Or, maybe a better way to put it is, I would expect that if I put it the same amount of preparation and dedication to my LE tag as I always do to my general season tag, my results should be improved simply because I am on an LE unit... If the same amount of work yields the same results whether I am on an LE unit or a general unit, then why put in for LE tags at all..?
Just thinking out loud- wonderin what everyone else thinks.
Also, keep in mind I have yet to draw any LE tags (deer or elk).
