I did get licky in one aspect though - I drew an extra ML deer tag for the first two weeks of December (does only) and late season elk tag - (cows only) The elk tag is a rifle tag but I am going to use a ML... now with my luck during the regular elk season I am going to stubble on to the biggest bull in the woods and I am not ging to be able to shoot it...
I did exactly that the last time I got drawn for antlerless elk in Arizona. The cows were at 150 yards and my rifle had not been shot at that distance with the load I had so I did not chance it but I had a huge bull walk up to within three yards of the log I was hiding behind and he stayed within 10 yards for over 5 minutes before casually walking away. Did not get another chance on a cow so I missed that time. Sure did raise the adrenalin for a while though.
