like others had tags but never really hunted for em when younger, then took 7 year hiatus from ALL hunting got back into it about 10 years ago and have taken 8 elk lifetime with gun & bow, no muzzleloader yet.
3 cows
2 spikes
1 5x5
1 5x6
1 6x6
my wife has been elk hunting 3 years & has 1 cow & a 4x4 to her credit. missed a nice 6x5 in ID 2 years ago.
my 15 yo daughter has been close several times in 2 years but still 0-2, she usually has 3-4 days a year due to volleyball.
my 23 yo son missed a too close 6x6 last year & I nearly had a heart attack over it, I coulda hit it with a rock, it was that close!
