The most impressive thing about this thread to me is the uncanny ability of some to draw bull elk and antelope tags, while I seem to only be able to pull bonus points. Yes, I'm jealous! Thank god for otc deer tags.

Hunting since I was 10, but big game starting at 14 when I could actually pull back 40lbs, got my 1st pig when I turned 18 with a bow. Switched to rifle at age 21 and tagged my 2nd pig at age 25. Not until I was 32 did I actually tag my 1st mule deer. Learned a lot from making tons of mistakes and are slowly turning things around, after countless years of tag soup I may need to schedule a colonoscopy to extract all the tags that are lining my lower intestines.

 

Whitetail-5

Mule deer-2

Javelina-16

Cow elk-2

Mountain lion-1

 

Got my son his firearm hunting certificate at age 10 just two years ago and he is on a roll.

 

Whitetail-2

Javelina-1

 

Hoping the draw gods have some love this year!!!!!!!!
