It only took 27 years

Postby cantgetdrawn » 10 13, 2014 •  [Post 1]

I started hunting elk in 1987 in 16A (Gila). I could never connect then went through a 17 year drought were I could not get drawn. Last few years I started hunting CO OTC but could not connect. This year I finally got drawn for my first choice, it was a rifle tag that I really did not expect, I expected my 3rd choice archery tag
