Ringer Report post Posted March 16, 2023 Well, I was sure we drew 5BS bull tags but it turns out we drew archery cow. That is OK with us. We are both 73 so likely our last archery hunt and probably our last elk tags. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bomberodevil Report post Posted March 18, 2023 I drew the 5 BS archery bull tag also. Last had that tag in 2018, so five years, plus the loyalty point and the hunter safety point. Tagged out in 2018 on day 13, it was warm the first week. Looking forward to a great hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
