Big or Bust

It always is with regulators. It's all politics. All their minds are made up. It depends if someone can politically make them compromise or change their minds.... Public comments are just a charade they have to legally do.

+1. My first thoughts are that both the commissioners freely admit they didn't grow up hunting either and are first generation hunters, the first of their family. Them making big decisions with a bit of missing context is concerning. I listened and agree with these thoughts. I also came away with their continual reference of 30+ cameras per water that the entire ban is indeed related to the Strip, Kaibab, Unit 9 elk, etc. and not the majority of the state. They do make some valid points however IMHO...

Saw the buck today in person and I don't even know the hunter. We happen to share a taxidermist..... Super duper buck and yes, 110+" it is ... You internet picture scorers are a trip....

Killed a 3' in my backyard tonight. She was pissed. And I've got a block wall ...

Heck ya! Great buck!

My confusion (and lots of people's I have now found out) on the thread stems from the level of ego to even start the thread which based on other threads I've been reminded of that you have participated in on this forum, I should visit the site more often and I would know how you conduct your business. Your mentor must be proud. Actions conducted with grace and selflessness without the overwhelming ego and narcissism, which is how you are coming across, is much more effective long term if you want folks to talk about you. Obviously YMMV. Pardon my intrusion on your thread. I'm done.

Ok, but you started a thread about yourself on a public forum. Not all get it...

Starved for attention or world class ego?

Copy.... Still don't get it but that's ok.

Following this thread for sure. Keep us updated. I'm only applying for the hunts that are likely gonna be like this as I started late in life moving to AZ 10 years ago. Good luck man. I'm SW of Tucson and if I can assist on any way holler. Including hiking crazy stuff to see nothing. I'm less that 2 hrs or so from Ajo too...

This is a weird thread. We are guessing someone's mentor? I don't get it, but that's ok.... Congrats on the right guess?

Great job bud... Looking a bit svelte I might add....

Just got through. No fire or shooting restrictions in Coronado Forest. All lifted.

O for 2 this morning on calls...

You actually got through. Congrats. Lol. I've tried. Still propane only or no info on that end?

The wildlandfire link above has all info about every forest in the state other than the Coronado as of last night.

That date has long passed and the above notice that restrictions are lifted says nothing about the Coronado.

Can find nothing on the Coronado Forest....

SWFA...

I've glassed up 7 this year this far and have another 20 on cameras. Southern AZ overrun. Water related for sure but on wet years it's almost as bad...

John is THE man...

Great job guys!

While trying to get a deer for someone else...

Classic thread on why good folks don't post on here or elsewhere much anymore. The guy who has likely helped more folks on this entire forum is getting flamed for asking for help by folks with nothing better to do.

Wish I could help bro. Same buck?
