I've drawn I think 8 years in a row. Stop whining or put in for hunts with better draw odds.

A while back, Edge posted about finding a dog tag and getting it back to its owner's family. Tim (Edge) is 1000% a great guy. I chimed in on the dog tag discussion about having my Great Grandpa's WWI dog tag and full uniform. Tim asked to see pics, but I had to wait to get into my safe after the keypad died. Access happened yesterday, so this post is for Tim/Edge! My Great Grandpa on my mom's side was in WWI and he passed away when I was in 8th grade. He was 92. He had 12 kids (that survived, 14 total) with my great grandma. As everyone was going through stuff, they came across his original dog tag and full uniform. My great grandma asked what should be done with it. My grandma knew I was a military history buff at 14 years old, so she grabbed everything and said "I know who will appreciate this!" and got it to me. It wasn't until a few years ago when my grandma's sister passed away that I was able to get the original helmet to go with everything. As promised to Tim/Edge, here are the pics. Full set of leggings (plus an extra), helmet, oversees cap (dad had a different, nsfw name for those), pants, jacket, and helmet.

I like how Inconsistent it all is. Keeps you guessing twice a year about how screwed up it will be. and you could say “how do you know it’s screwed up” because they just had that thing with the lifetime license guys not getting tags in the elk draw the only logical explanation is that it’s absolutely f’d even worse than the last elk draw.

Is that the lady with the sexy smoker voice like Marge Simpson's sisters?

2 apps with 3 people for deer how can guys not know what they applied for or who they applied with

Too many people applying is the problem. The growth is unbelievable. It's only going to get worse.

I love this, my grandpa was a. Paratrooper in Normandy, my other grandpa was A Marine Corps aviator across the Pacific through Guadalcanal to the Philippines, fought I fought thought my way across Iraq, alt the way to green zone

Seeing that picture made me want to punch everyone of them in the face.

AZGFD Draw dept after they stopped the draw and reading people’s posts

In for another day of punishment

common core is the end of civilization....

Nah, they’re having some fucking issues

We can only hope for another round of hits after 8:30AM tomorrow.

3?

There is a ginormous blob of NR applicants with 15-20+ points. Thousands. There are about 30-50 tags a year that they actually want and are “worth” their points (in most applicants minds) so it’s essentially created a sheep tag like situation where the max point group is established and won’t go away until they die. Expect early kaibab to take 40+ points for NR before it plateaus and kaibab archery will be bringing 20-25 points in the next few years. Smoke em if you got em cuz there ain’t no saving em.

I say G&F implements another loyalty point for anyone that has applied 10 years. I think the consecutive years is a bit frustrating....miss one year and you lose your loyalty BP. Anyhow, give the folks that have been doing this for a lifetime an additional advantage. I haven't seen the statistics, but I'd imagine about half of the applicants have less than 10 years applying.

Campfire whiskey scores are the new standard...all my bucks make book when the whiskey is flowing. LoL

Nah.... many never enter them because once they get their exaggerated outfitter campfire whiskey score there's no need to know what it really scores. Ed F

I just told you how it works $135/3 = $45. the price of a deer tag. 2 charges for 135 would be 2 applications with 3 applicants.

I think it’s over. New era of point creep both resident and NR. It creates a snowball. Leftover tags drying up lead to guys changing their app plans which lead to 100% odds tags become not so in a hurry.

Its not over until the fat lady sings ⬇️ the fat lady

That's really cool. My grandfather was in an artillery unit in WWI (His son, my dad, was a B-17 navigator in WWII). Anyway, I have the wool blanket that my grandfather was issued during his stint in WWI. It comes with me on any colder-weather camping trips and makes a great supplemental blanket for super cold nights. S.

Not a record by any means. He just wants It scored. He loved the way this bull looked

Yes but some of those southern units have 750 tags for 3 seperate hunts lol I don’t see it going from 100% to 50% overnight

Tucson local. Either 37a or 28 tag.
