Opening day I was able to tag out by 8:00 on this deer I had been seeing on my cameras since August. He was a very heavy bodied buck. I was luck to have a Buddy watching in the glass to give me a hand down off the hill.

Man, that’s a lotta turks on the wall. Here’s my favorite wall. Lots of other mounts but i like how this one turned out

See that's the thing. I'm not hunting that unit. I'm targeting the correct unit. I shoot the correct animal, in the correct unit, with the correct tag. I realize it's a slippery slope. But we're dealing with feelings and emotions here. I lose that battle all day long with the leo that wants to prove his wenus is bigger than mine. I'm looking for hard evidence that says I can NOT do it.

As long as there’s no trucks with lettering on the side, no burro loving hippies, and no power lines, I’d say do it. Just don’t advertise it when your done.

Posted a pic in the buffalo thread but let’s see what others have hanging on the wall.

Duwane Adams posted a short video to his FB page of three bucks they just tagged on the Kaibab. One looks to be 200+. https://www.facebook.com/103560010014568/videos/989489178053877/

I know a few people that have done it for elk. Game warden told them they were fine as long as the animal was clearly in the unit the tag was good for.

Very cool looking wall bro!

If it's in AZ...dont worry. You'll never see a G&F unless your in camp or on the highway! #severlyunderstaffed

Just do it. No way you’d lose that battle. The animal you shoot needs to be in the unit you have the tag for. Nothing says the projectile needs to leave from the same unit.

STFU Bob he knows insurance will cover it but would still like his stuff back rather then replace it all. He just wanted people to keep an eye out for it is all. You came off like it was no big deal and to him it probably is. I’m only on beer 3 though so trying to get up to your number fast as I can so I can type like you big boy.

Dano562, he identifies as a female. Come get him. He is still available.

There might be good bucks in all the units but youll see 10x or more the amount of deer in the southern units than you will in the central units.

Nothing fancy ,just your trusty lever action. The only thing you packed was your deer.

My bet is that if your gun is loaded and your not in the unit that your tag is for, you could be charged. Would GF charge you? Who knows.

I would not bet My license vs common sense vs the law vs any gov agency.

I have owned 2 bumper pulls and 2 pop ups. My favorite trailer by far was my 2016 Starcraft (made by Jayco). They have the “Magnum Roof System” which is supposedly the strongest on the market. The build quality was great.

An old buddy of mine was the head of habitat for AZGFD for 15 or so years I posed that same question to him and he told me flat out it’s legal to shoot from one unit to another as long as the animal is in the correct unit you have the tag for when the shot is taken. Same thing as saying you shot from the correct unit and the animal crossed the unit boundary line and died you can legally and by law have to retrieve it even though it’s out of the unit once dead. How many times do you think that happens on FR3 between 6A and 5B north and south. I’d bet more than you think because it’s happened to me

I know someone that did the same thing and got checked by g&f. Was not hassled at all. If the warden is a real d!ck they might TRY to do something but in the court of law, you’d be fine.

Dont overlook toyhaulers. I bought a 21' weekend warrior last year from a buddy. It is really nice to open the back door to load up trailer with totes and stuff. I even roll my traeger right in and secure it with the vehicle tie downs. I have 1 queen bed overhead, 2 twins on the sides, and a pop out queen in front. I love it. It is small enough to be easy to get into places, and with the pop out queen we can fit alot of people if necessary. It is easy to put a 3rd queen bed down with an air mattress in the toy box floor.

been wondering the same thing actually for a friends hunt.

No idea

I think you guys don't get how this whole thing works. Until he's convicted he can guide, hunt, fish, trap or whatever he pleases. Once he's convicted then comes the punishment. It's not punishment and then conviction as much as most people want since they read about it online. He may be the worst poacher in the universe but geeze people don't hang the guy yet. For all we know everything is "suspected" and he could still get off even if he truly did it. And I'm talking in a general sense here not just this case. I've seen people already saying need to take everything he owns away and kick him to the streets, never let him set foot in the forest again etc. Why doesn't everyone just wait for the conviction and then argue what punishment you'd like the dish out. Before anyone says I'm defending him I'm not. He's a shady dude for sure. But let the process work how it's supposed to before we light our torches and grab the pitchforks. Gonna be some mighty disappointed people if this dude manages to sneak out of all this without any punishment. Crazier things have happened. Love how 777 defended him. Right there we now know he had something to prob do with the 4b bull poached recently. Acts like he knows how it all works.

I agree on picking out landmarks. The more I have reflected on that moment makes me realize how I forgot some important steps after the shot. I should have waited longer to go look, should have asked my spotter more questions i.e. how did the deer react, did you see a hit or miss etc.. also, i probably walked within a few feet of where he fell down that first morning, crazy how hard they are to spot even when you are right next to them.
