As the title states- What percentage of the time do you fill you Big Game Tags and as a side note how many tags have you filled in Colorado?
I've only been here since 1986- so mine are a little limited to the long timer's here:
100% Deer- 13
100% Elk - 15
100% Pronghorn- 26
In addition are tags I've helped personally fill as a guide or as an assistant/personal guide- Success Rate 85% in all (some guys are picky- they all had an opportunity)
Deer 104
Elk 38
Pronghorn 216
with numbers like that I assume you have kept a journal of sorts every year? I'd have to sit and think long and hard about the numbers of success, and even then I'm sure I'd forget a few along the way. About the only thing I can say for certain is that I'm 100% on antelope with the rifle, not so with the bow. Don't hunt deer in Colo., and certainly not 100% on elk with the rifle, and maybe 30% successful with the bow.
I have yet to harvest a big game animal, however I have only hunted elk 4 times.
I'm jealous.
0% since I took it back up two seasons ago.
Going to hunt private land this year as well as the usual low harvest area so hopefully a tag will get filled.
I estimate 33.3% personally when I was a young lad (12-17). Our large camps always had several tags filled so there was always meat. I only hunted Whitetail as a boy.
First 6 years ZERO. Didn't even see elk most years, maybe one or two. Since 2007 about 50%, bull in 2007, Cows about 3 times since then.
