1997, only missed 3-4 yrs since. 2 years of rifle. The rest has been with archery. Hope I have another 20+ yrs left in me. Mountains seem steeper than they used to be.
First time was in the Flat Top Wilderness in 2021 during first rifle and 2nd in 2022 during archery. No luck either time but still learning how to DIY Elk. Not the easiest for an Indiana boy who is used to just sitting in a tree.
