Tally so far,

6 = Went elk hunting --- no opportunities (I think there are WAY more out there, just haven't signed in....)
3 = Went elk hunting, got a shot opportunity, no elk... (Any given year an opportunity is really all one can hope for.)
40 = Got elk (at least one, some with many)
-----
49 = Total

Huntngirl,
This was for "lifetime" not just this year, "skunk years' happen. [:'(] I know you got your bull opening day last year, so you're in the "got elk" category.

BaltActionMan,
Damn, that is one hell of a record from a "camp success" perspective. Sounds like you guys are "dialed in" somewhere or with someone!
