Sam Report post Posted April 8, 2013 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...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
