Very Curious....how many tags

Recommended Posts

With all of this talk about how bad the Arizona draw system is and how the bonus point system needs improvement, I got to thinking about my personal elk hunting history and how many elk tags I have drawn over the years. This took alot of thought and a little searching through old boxes of stuff. Here's my history......I think I have done pretty good. How many elk tags have you guys had? Of course I have Zero antelope tags in the same amount of time.

 

1979 - Any elk tag - AZ

1987 - Cow tag - AZ

1993 - Bull tag - CO

1995 - Bull tag - AZ

1996 - Reservation Cow tag AZ

1998 - Bull tag - CO

1999 - Bull tag - AZ

2000 - Bull tag - AZ

2006 - Bull tag - AZ

2010 - Bull tag - AZ

2013 - Cow tag - AZ

 

So, in 34 years, I have had 8 public land elk tags in Arizona. Oh yeah, I also found my old hunting licenses with the actual tag numbers written on the license - the good old days......

My boy started at 10, now 13. He has pulled his 2nd jr cow tag this year and is 3 for 3 on jr deer tags.

 

This was the 5th year straight I put my non-res dad in and he pulled an archery bull tag this year.

since 1995: 4 rifle cow tags, 1 archery cow tag, and 2 early archery bull tags. Not one of them was what most folks would think of as a premium tag.

Way to much thinking for someone my age! Here's my breakdown.

1971 rifle bull tag

1975 first archery elk tag -any elk

From 1976 till 1990 probably had around 10 archery bull tags

1992 archery bull

1994 archery bull

2004 archery bull

2011 rifle bull rut hunt ( first time I put in for a rifle hunt since 1971)

2013 archery bull

So looks like 17 bull tags in 42 years. Not bad.

 

My wife's tally.

2000 rifle bull 6a

2002 rifle bull 6a

2004 rifle bull 5a

2006 rifle bull 5a

2008 rifle rut hunt 22n

2011 rifle any L/O Sunset

Pretty lucky draws, I would say!
