[raghorn69]

20 Plus years   6 Cows 1 Spike 1 Raghorn

Could have killed 2 other Ragbulls but passed them waiting for the bigger one. Salted the tag & ate it

The Big Bull is coming in 2011 if not 2012 or 13 or very late 2014!

6 years with the rifle, 3 bulls, 2 years with the bow, nada. The last couple years I haven't really hunted much though, just a couple nights in treestands, as my areas have become overran with hunters.

Been hunting elk since 1978 so 33 years. Hunt in Montana, Idaho and Washington many years since 1994.  Thought I had all my dead elk counted up one time, but then remembered a couple, so gotta be honest I can't say how many I've killed.  But I can't say the last time I did not have elk meat in the freezer.  Can't say the number is 33, but it's probably over 25.  But I kill them all, first legal elk I see is going in the freezer.  I know Dad is well over 40, younger brother most likely has more than me.

Since I was 12 and i'm 27.... so 13 years. And I've killed 2 elk - one spike and one cow. 

I know my math doesn't quite add up (I missed two elk seasons for football playoffs while I was in high school).

Since I was 14 and I'm 21 now. Made elk camp every year but two and have killed two spikes, both with my 338 A bolt. Got an X bolt this winter and hopefully I'll be able to take an elk with it this fall

Moved here from back east in 1997 and had never seen an elk before. Started hunting a few years later and thanks to a couple great mentors I have been blessed by filling my archery elk tag 5 times in 9 seasons, all bulls (including a late season bull calf) 
Sure is interesting to see the success represented on this site. thanks for sharing you guys ... thumbs up to all my blood brothers that go out and get after it, tags full or not.

This will be the 10th year.  Three elk in the past 9 years all with the bow.
