But, we can still shoot a gun..,

Ole lady doesn’t like grilled onions. I know! Almost a deal breaker but I’ll keep her.

Hope they are not walking through a front door without a warrant. Campsites are public land. Only expectation of privacy would be your trailer and vehicle.

No idea what i was doing but i made fry bread. Definitely didn’t come out how I remember in foods class. But was still pretty good

That was fast! Couzer and I both talked about buying that rifle from Roboz with the additional items he offered just a few days ago. Did your spouse get on your case?🤣

It would remove 10-20 percent of the applicants and increase the draw odds.

If he runs your license plate and gets your name, you're going on the Do Not Draw a Tag list in their system! LOL I'm always nice to those guys! (It's all digital now)

Perfectly said. It’s great to see some logical unbiased thoughts here.

Yes!

Huh?

We drew the early Nov tag in southern AZ and were very fortunate to get perfect weather. Opening morning was supposed to be 25*. We made a plan to hike up and in to an area we have wanted to explore before. Without knowing how ruff this hike would be we finally made it 2 miles into where we wanted to be. We found a few deer but we were still 700+ yards from how high deer were feeding. We decided to make that climb too and get to the elevation we needed. All that work and no shooters. After considering staying put for the evening hunt we finally agreed to back out and not risk a very hard hike out in the dark that night. Turned out to be 5+ miles round trip and a ton of elevation. Sucked. Our legs were cooked for the day so for the evening hunt we decided to “take it easy” and glass closer to the truck. Go figure….That worked. My son found a decent buck at 1200 yards and we made a move to go get a closer look. That hike turned out to be just as nasty as the morning. We got to 525 yards and sat and watched him and decided I would try to take a shot. Getting settled in on the rifle my son said “wait!” There’s a better buck right there too. I located that buck and got another “wait!” Dad there’s a giant right there. I was not able to find that deer and wasted no time turning the rifle over to him. Ranged him at 535, dialed to that, Perfect shot! Unreal. So happy for him. He deserves it. He found that buck and found my buck on Sunday too. Mine went 91” and is my best buck, 715 yards. Super fun hunt. We ended up hiking 10 miles opening day. So worth it. We’ve never had an opportunity on a buck like his before. Any score guesses?

Ravenrocks Precision is who I used as soon as they had some Norma brass available again. Looks like primed is all you can get from them at the moment.

Who are we to tell someone they’re not disabled? For all we know half the guys who have “legitimate” claims to crossbow permits are just soft and someone else could tough out their injuries.

Me. If you don't obviously know, then you are ignoring the facts. I'll tell you my selfish reason for not wanting crossbows in the archery season... the quotas. F&G said that if you exclude crossbow kills in the August/September season... every single unit would have been open for the December hunt. Before the quotas I didn't care one bit about crossbows in the archery seasons. This is F&G's screw up for allowing them in the first place. I personally know of three able guys who abused the crossbow process... and shot forkys in August. One of them recently shot a javalina with a recurve. All 3 are just lazy and want easy. Ed F

It’s to bait them into litigation. Sadly too often the officers are used to people forfeiting their right so when some one actually knows their rights they loose their cool. I say this from a Leo family/household with plenty of IA experience.

We were able to get out for 4 days and had some bad luck with stalks. Either the wind shifted or there was no wind at all to conceal noises. On the 4th day we had some luck and pops was able to harvest this sow at 15 yards. 21 consecutive years for this fella with the stick and string.

Technically no one was in the "wrong". Officer is correct that he can walk around a campsite but looking in the tent would be off limits. Camper is also correct that he doesn't have to talk to them if he doesn't want to. Where I felt things went wrong was as soon as the guy told them he didn't want to talk to them and to leave him alone they should have left. (At some point it would become harassment since they have no real reason to be bothering the guy) Cops generally don't like hearing no though and you get what you saw here with them trying to show the camper they can do as they please and that they aren't leaving. You should still have some type of expectation of privacy even while camping and the police should respect that.

The attorney sounds like a horses arse looking for a reason to get chitty. My two cents.

My son drew second choice this year, a unit we hunted two years ago. Opening day came and Christian, my pops, Colby and I got to glassing. It was a slower than usual morning, only 5 small bucks. We had an interesting find, saw a pack of 14 maybe 15 dogs cruising the mountains. No collars, all dogs were a different breed of pit, boxer, lab, German Shepard etc and looks like none of them were tracking scent, sure didn’t look like lion dogs. They covered some good country so we decided to hit a different spot for the afternoon. That afternoon we hit up a glassing spot we seen some nice bucks in with some lions in the past. I glassed this buck right at 3:20 getting up from his bed 1030 yards. The boy and I grabbed our gear and spent the next 30 minutes going uphill to get in range. After the shot, it was even more difficult getting to the buck and even worse packing him out. The cat claws were amazingly thick and we enjoyed every moment of it. We know that when we are back in school/work, we would rather be out in the field getting cut up by catclaw.

Nicely done! Now stay out! 😂

Enjoy. Next year it looks like they intend to get increase tags from 150 up to 210. Could start feeling real crowded next year. I don’t suspect it will hold the age class for long at that clip
