This year will be 1 elkHad to dig back in the old memory banks and only counted the ones I could for sure remember, but I am sure there are a few that are lost to time.... Here is what I came up with that required tags.
DEER- 45 Bucks / 30+/- Does (from 7 states, 60% with a rifle, 39% with a bow, couple with a pistol) About half and half whitetail and mule deer.
Elk- 16 Bulls (15 archery), 2 Spikes (rifle), 14 Cows (7 bow, 7 rifle)
Antelope- 22 Bucks (14 bow / 8 rifle) 6 Does (1 Bow (pass through on a buck) , 1 Pistol, 4 rifle)
2 Mountain Goats
1 Canada Moose
1 Brown Bear
7 Black Bear
1 Aoudad
1 Red Stag
1 Caribou
4 Hogs
40+ Turkeys
3 Swans
If I had a list of all the animals I helped people with, it would probalby be 3-4 times as many of each species.
The "To Do LIst" includes
Mountain Lion
Wolf
Aligator
Buffalo
Sheep
I have eaten some tags for sure over the years... but the big misses species wise for me that I need to go back in do include.
Grizzly Bear (tried it with my bow.... couldn't get it done. Taking the rifle next time)
Kodiak Blacktail ( got weathered out after my goat hunt)
Wolf ( have had tags in Montana, Alaska, and B.C, but still batting .000)
