Pretty impressive record. That's a lot of tags.

Not really that impressive, just living at the right time in the right states. Just completed my 42nd hunting season and shot my first elk at age 12.

I was born in MT grew up hunting there have had at least one elk tag, sometimes 2, from 1980-2013. Drew 3 tags in Arizona, killed 2 six points and a 7x6 on those hunts. Have lived in Wyoming since 2000 and have had one NR tag the year I moved here, filled it in 20 minutes of hunting. Since then, have had a minimum of 2 elk tags and ever since the commission has allowed 3 tags, I've had 3 every year.

First elk, Montana at age 12, seems like a long, long time ago:

Latest elk a few weeks ago:

Been a lot of miles in between.
