how many years have you been elk hunting? how many elk?

[woodswalker]

1 cow, 2 spikes, 7 branches since 1981...and I took a break in there for 5 years when i ran the mill in Everett.
Cow and spikes all out of eastern WA...all the branches off the Olympic Penninsula

I think that I have elk hunted 7 or 8 days in WA and killed 4 raghorn bulls, all general season archery.

Surprising results on this thread.  I've been hunting elk since 1985 and have probably taken 25 since then.  Several with each rifle, bow, and muzzleloader.  Probably the most with muzzleloader.  Maybe 10-11 bulls with most of those being 5 or 6 points.  Mostly in Idaho.

3 years of actual hunting ( bought tags before as a kid but didnt really hunt too much was more interested in deer) 0 elk

Same with me.  Bought tags before as a kid but didnt start actually hunting until three years ago.  0 elk

same answer... been drawn for two cow tags when I was in my teens but didnt have anyone to go with.. I knew i wanted to go just didnt get the chance.

I'm 21 hunting elk for 8 years.1 spike 1 cow eastside rifle.1 muzzleloader cow eastside, 2 archery cows westside, 1 6x6 archery  westside. So 6 total

Trying to think that far back is a little sketchy, but if I think about it this is pretty close. 1 cow, 1 spike, and 18 branch bulls in a total of 28 years of elk hunting.  Biggest one is a 6x7 Rosie.  All westside except for the muzzleloader animals (1 cow and 2 bulls).  I usually take the first legal bull I see unless it's a draw tag in a good area.  Don't like tag soup.  Been on a little bit of a roll the last few years.  4 bulls in 4 years.  These are mostly rifle bulls with 3 muzzleloader mixed in.
