Border Crisis-Rockies style

I’m probably overthinking this, but whatever it’s May and tis the season to over analyze.

I drew a tag in a bordering state and I’m wondering whether there’s value in securing a tag in the bordering unit right across the state line in my home state. It isn’t where I normally hunt in my home state but my thought is I’ll be up there anyways for the lengthy neighboring state tag and will get a good idea of the area and elk patterns. And ultimately, I would have flexibility that other hunters wouldn’t by being able to cross the border during a couple of the season dates…

Has anybody employed such a strategy? Worth it? Not worth it?

If you already have the more expensive non-res tag, the seasons overlap, you plan on hunting near the State line, and you can readily obtain the resident tag as well, then why not? Seems like it couldn't hurt.

Appreciate it! I think the only question left for me is whether it’s worth going away from my normal home state unit for the sake of the border unit.

But I’m probably just too far in the minutiae at this point.
