I can empithize on the going home with an unfilled elk tag, did that my self some 20 years back, and it gets worse every year... [sly][pirate][sly] we have to win one of about 100 tags that are raffeled out every year by the state of michigan..
I would have been happy with a cow, but never saw a single elk during shooting hours... Well there was one, "a big royal" I sat in a vantage point and watched for half the day a mile away on top a hill side watching over the swamp waiting for it to make a move twards land. I had been warned several days earlier about the swamp I was over looking, about 90 years ago the farmer who lived there had fallen though the bog with his wagon and team of horses never to be pulled back out...
Congrats on the harvest... horns are nice, but meat on the table is by far a better bargan than going home with an empty tag...
Just wondering, do you guys have restricted tags on the elk?
