Holy smokes I got drawn for AZ Archery Elk on second year of applying!

[hflier]

I got drawn for AZ Archery Elk on second year of applying! Man I am excited. I was just hoping to get picked before I got to old to hunt (I will be 51 on the hunt). I used to live there after I got out of the military, but never hunted Elk, so for me this hunt is like going back to my favorite place in the world. Now I have to rearrange my CO hunt with my brother so I can do two hunts in a month! Got to hand to my wife on understanding, she was actually excited as anything for me. I just wish I new which of my units got picked.

[hflier]

Units I applied for were 6A 5A 5BN 5BS & 10

Congrats on what will be an elk hunt of a lifetime! Unit 6A was my first elk hunt. I had 9-points this year and think I am only getting another point this year.

Hflier , congratulations ! Really cool you get your shot while you can still take full advantage.

 

[MOcluck]

Just goes to show it can be done. Good luck on your hunt!

 

[Slim Jim]

Congrats hflier! I just got a letter from azfg and I got excited but it was just a hunting questionnaire and no hit on my cc either so maybe next year

 

[Racethesunset]

Awesome, congrats!

 

[realunlucky]

Congratulations, I got nothing for my effort again not even a thanks for applying card

 

[dandeployed]

What was your first and second choices? Thats really the only 2 that matter when applying for bull tags.

 

[hflier]

My first choice was 6A and second was 5A.

 

[CW_12]

Congrats. That will be a great one.

 

[Maxhunter]

[drthornton]

Way to go hflier! Good luck on both your hunts.

Congrats jflier! I got hit on my Card also. I'll be up in Camp Navajo just west of Flagstaff in Unit 6B. This is the first year I have put in for an Elk tag and I got hit on the first day of the Draw. I hope that I'll get my first pick "Any Elk" tag, but if I don't I'm going to enjoy my time in the great outdoors anyways.

Awesome! Congrats to you both... I drew too - another bonus point

Good news is, that's 13 and with my hunter Ed point added sometime this year that should = premium elk tag in 2014. Still jealous of y'all this year. Best of luck! Keep us posted what you drew and of course how the hunt goes!

[BigDawg9578]

That's going to be one heck of a tag with 13 bonus points! Whew! There's a trophy in your future Coop.

 

[armyjoe]

I'm with you on this one too Coop. I'm a resident and sitting on 9 points from failed draws, 1 point for hunters ed and 1 loyalty point. 11 total. Maybe next year! I remember when I was young and could hunt every other year or every 3 years without an issue

 

[Travis Bertrand]

Coop, what path did you take to get your hunter Ed point? Next trip down there I'm thinking of biting the bullet and knocking it out so I can get that point!
