Wait for another 30 years23 I believe! 37 now, that was a LONG time ago, at least in my mind anyway.

Honestly, you weren't missing much, not nearly the opportunity back then that there is today.LOL Buss, you were shooting elk before I was even born!
It's actually pretty decent.Micah,
How do you like that hood?
2005I was 15, killed a spike with my bow in Idaho on an otc tag.
Hopefully at age 71 next fall 2022 is my year for elk. I couldnt apply this year because i missed the applicationdeadline while I was in the hospital with my stroke.Hey guys! What age were you when you harvested your first elk? Drop your pictures if you have them!!!
Did your buddy tag?I am 46 and still haven't killed an elk. I have had some part of 5 elk recoveries and a moose but unfortunately none were my animals.
1st elk hunt was otc in Idaho 2015. Archery hunt, I shot a raghorn high in the back. He ran off then turned around and walked away.
2nd hunt 2016 I drew AZ 6a archery with 2 points. Missed 2 bulls. One was pretty nice. The other was a raghorn.
3rd hunt was Wy gen tag archery 2019. I only hunted for about 3 days because after I drew my tag a buddy drew Idaho Moose and I wanted to go on that hunt so I cut my elk trip short to spend the time in Idaho which I dont regret it was awesome.
Maybe one of these days.
Those calves are prime eats however.I was 35 in the late fall of 1986, my first year to hunt elk in my new homestate of Wyoming! It was a late season cow hunt, myself and 2 friends saw a group of elk entering the timber from a cut-over. The two of them went directly toward the elk. I was sitting in g center of the truck.......never sit in the center, and was the last one out of the truck. I headed into the timber in an attempt to get ahead of the elk. I found a long, narrow opening .....waiting and hoping! I heard the footfalls of running elk, then the first elk entered the opening. Quickly, determining that the running elk had no antlers.....I touched off a shot, and the elk fell. In mere moments a group of cow elk ran past. It was at that time I realized that I shot a baby. It’s difficult to judge the size of a lone running elk in the timber....with only moments to make a decision! I had an elk on my first season of elk hunting.....but, shooting a calf is a little embarrassing!
No picture available .....I didn’t have a “macro-lense” for my camera! memtb
