Since 1981, but only got to hunt 9 years due to being gone during a lot of them thanks to Uncle Sam's Canoe club....

9 years - 1 bull, 6 cows.  Now the bull was a raghorn and 3 of the cows were in Idaho.....

15 years archery - 1 elk. Big bull story from last year, but didn't get to drop the string.

14 years at chasing elk with archery gear
6 cows
4 spike bulls
ive drawn three bull tags and I still haven't slivered a branched bull :bash:

17 years hunting, killed 12 bulls, two with rifle back when you could hunt bow and then rifle if you did not score early, the other ten bulls, all 5 point or better with archery equipment.
