Or maybe just venting some frustration of always having to be creative, knowing what the options are, when the neighbors kid down the street pulls tags every year?
I understand this frustration. We get to exercise the other options every year to get the kids out to hunt while the neighbors kid literally draws the tags you're not supposed to be able to draw. Every year. Without fail. No planning, no studying because these hunts have the worst "odds" of any.
Fortunately, there are other options out there. But, sometimes it's nice to have a hunt in the hopper to where you don't have to exhaust other resources to make it happen. These other resources are extra scouting time, travel time, the expense associated with it, etc. There are always other factors at play that may not enable the other options to just happen.
Until we trod a mile in someone else's shoes, we can't complain how the fit is. But then again, according to some, I can't comprehend anything so..
