ANY ELK!

elk guide, I'm sure I'll be getting ahold of you:)

Guys, I can't tell you how excited I am. I have been putting in for this every year religiously since the early 80's. When I saw congratulations I started shaking and felt the blood drain from my face, then I read the "any elk" line about 3 times before it sank in that I could shoot a bull. The first call I made was to my forever hunting partner (dad) to let him know. Tomorris is my 45th birthday and I can't think of a better present.

Nope, not this year for me either!

[Elk Guide]

Congrats to winterover.....He drew area L which is all of the elk range except the core areas of A-B and part of C-D. They may or may not be bugeling at that time it will just depend on the weather and if the nights have started to cool down or not any way congratulations to you .....see ya Carl

[TIMfromTroy]

Not me either, I've got 3 chances now. Who knows, if I live to be 168 I just might get one.

Josh and Carl, Thanks for the PM's. I will definately be in contact with both of you.

Now its time to get busy, I only have 4 weeks to plan for this. I'm already putting together my list of what I need to do to get ready, first up this weekend, sight the gun in.

Congratulations! You have been selected to receive a 2006 elk hunting license for the early elk season, which will open August 26, close August 30, and reopen for the period September 15 to September 18.

You were selected for an Antlerless Elk license for the hunt area L, as indicated in the 2006 Michigan Elk Hunting Guide.

-Exact words from the DNR.

This is unbelievable. This was the fourth year I've put in for the elk draw, and knowing it was even less than a once-in-a-lifetime chance, I didn't expect much again this year. But wow! I get the privelage to kill an elk in my home state!

At first I thought I was getting another survey for something, but then I saw "congratulations" and "elk" and I was ecstatic!

Congrats to you too Winterover, maybe I'll see you at orientation. I can't wait. And it's true, it hasn't even sunk in yet.

:D

[Elk Guide]

hey way to go redwingsdude.! i sent you a pm hope to chat with you soon......lets all hope the heat leaves us so it can cool down before this hunt....bye carl

[Winterover]

Congratulations, I am sure we will run into each other at orientation. I'll be the one in the orange hat:lol: :lol:
I'm glad to know i'm not the only one from here who got drawn. I know how I felt when I found out and I'm sure you are just as excited. I am still on cloud 9 five days later.
See you up there!!:D

[NEMichsportsman]

I am 0 for the 1980's, 1990's and thus far in the 21st century.

Congrats to those of you who were picked.

Please file reports about your success, and be sure to take a lot of pictures, for many of us it is the closest we will get to a Michigan Elk Hunt.

[DEERHNTR]

Unsucessfull........ 3 Chances!

The $4 dollars I spend every year is worth the second or two of hope that I have when I check the results.

[Rustyaxecamp]

Congrats Redwingsdude!!!!! Good luck!!!!!!

[bucknduck]

Congrats guys for the successful draw. Just another chance here.
I was up at my moms checking out my food plot and saw more elk tracks than anything else. On the other side of the creek I saw a nice 5x and another younger one who melted behind some pines before I had a chance to take a head count. Someday!

[Ralph Smith]

congrats to redwingsdude and winterover. Have a great hunt for a great home grown elk.

[bignoccursg]

unsuccessful.

Im feeling pretty lucky about next year.

Congrats to those who were lucky this year.

Not Me.
4 Chances For Next Year.

[choop]

Congrats winterover and redwings. I was unsuccessful again. Was hoping it might pan out this year since I lost the family property I have hunted for years this spring. Bummer. I agree the four dollars is worth the 2 seconds of anticipation.

[deepwoods]

Maybe next time.:)

[AZHUNTER]

Looks like I will Be going back to AZ for a couple weeks this fall. I drew an archery antelope tag & a Rifle bull elk tag. :)

[Skinner 2]

I didn't get one but my dad did!

Skinner 2

[Gordy]

I got lucky and got the Dec 5 - 12 in Area D for a baldy. If anyone knows a good guide, please let me know.

[Elk Guide]

Congratulations to skinner 2's father and to Gordy ,I hope you both have the hunt of a life time .Best of luck Carl

[Horseshoe]

Congrats to all four guys. Nice to hear some folks from the site getting drawn. Can't wait to see some stories and pix. The Michigan Out of Doors episodes on Elk hunts are always my favorites. I'm up to four chances now. Maybe when I'm retirement age and have 28 chances I'll get lucky and get that bull tag!

[hunting man]

it wont make much of a difference really. Everyone else will have the same number and chances. They installed the preference system to make a few of the loudest whiners happy. With it being a lifetime draw, being drawn for a any elk permit, it will knock down the # of applicants each drawing they hold. This will increase your odds better than the points.

[Moonlitin]

I got lucky and got the Dec 5 - 12 in Area D for a baldy. If anyone knows a good guide, please let me know.

I just found out yesterday that my 14 year old son gets to go on the early hunt...so I need to find a guide soon. If anyone can make any recommendations, please let me know by email or PM.

Thanks

Moonlitin

[Steve B.]

No tag for me. Congrats to all who were successful!

Moonlitin

Be sure to hurry up and buy your license soon. The information they send is kind of misleading. One document says that you must buy the license prior to August 15 but I just bought mine today. The other papers just say to buy it before the hunt. Either way, you need the license receipt by August 25 in order to get your tag at orientation.

Good luck guys!

[7MM Magnum]

Ya know,..... this is starting to become pretty pathetic :rant: :rant: :rant:

YOU ARE UNSUCCESFUL ( 0 in 28 years) IN THE 2006 ELK DRAWING..... However,.... LUCKY me,.....4 chances :16suspect

Looks like I'm headed back out to Idaho in 2007 !

Man,... Am I ever gonna' KILL me a Wapiti ! :evilsmile

[Moonlitin]

Congrats, we will be looking for your "GOT ONE" post.

My son killed a nice cow on on the first day of the hunt....it was awesome!

[Ranger Ray]

Congratulations to you and your son Moonlitin. Looks like some good elk steaks are soon to be served. ;)
