guess I got skunked, no hits on my card.

What really gets me is they havent done the draw yet. Theyve had our applications and alot of folks hard earned money for quite a while now. Why does this process take so long? Why arent we informed of what day the actuall draw takes place? And for that matter how do they keep it so secret its completely amazing that it doesnt get leaked out every year! Isnt there something in the Freedom of Information Act that guarantees us this public knowledge?

Looks like the 28th guys. It seems that every year the anticipation gets worse. (sigh) just two more weeks..............................

Maybe G&F should just push the "waiting for results" envelope all the way to the edge. They could just give each lucky tag recipient a call the nite before his/her hunt was to start. Then said tagholder would be given precise instructions on which G&F branch office they could pick up their tag on their way to their unit. If you happened not to be home or your phone line was tied up because you were on CW.COM, then too bad so sad they'd call the next guy in line. August first! Im sure the "higher-ups" at G&F aren't waiting for their results to be posted. There is no good reason why we should have any down time at all between the draw and when results get posted. With todays technology there's no reason why results cant be sent immediatly to applicant 1's email address upon selection. It seems to me that the big game super raffle was over and posted in mere hours. and all those were sent in paper form. There I feel better. Good luck you guys.

I'll bet its Thursday the 13th.

8 to 10 very long days... these are the dog days of summer.

I like this topic. Some really great info, but I think my choice would be water.

the mulie in that one pic looks like a buck, with a decent amount of horn for June. cool pics thanks for the fix.

Also heard this morning that Tonto is re-opening and that parts of Kiabab-Tusayan district are reopening.

My buddy and I drew our 3rd choice deer tag, 23 mulie. Not Coues but better than sitting home and theres still the AZ draw in about a month. Congrats to all those who got drawn.

Just sent all my hunting apps in. Put in for one late whitetail hunt the rest were for the oct hunts. archery pronghorn archery elk turkeys and just bonus points for sheep

Ive killed a couple of critters with the Rocket ultimate steels. Theyre tiny but they work well. It went right through my first archery deer. (archery page 6?). I missed a giant pronghorn a couple a years ago and dead centered a rock right behind him lost only one blade and the ferrule remained straight.

Deer - 1 (Permanent Hunter Ed point) Elk - 1 (Permanent Hunter Ed point) Pronghorn - 1 (Permanent Hunter Ed point) Sheep - 4 Ive never applied for buffalo.

Just another working guy here witha family and a mortgage and an addiction to hunting. Im shooting a Ruger m77 in 25-'06 with Simmons 4-14 ATV scope or Hoyt Tenacity 70# shooting Easton excell carbons tipped with 100 grain Rocket ultimate steels, Brunton 10x42s around my neck and 15x60 Doctors on a Bogen tripod stuffed into my Rancho Safari pack. These packs are awesome. Lots of pockets well designed to fit the tools of the trade. Made by hand and can be customized howver you like. Check'em out. They're the same guys who make the CatQuivers and ghillie suits.

I have GOT to get one of those!!! Maybe for the wife for mothers day.

I have acutally heard your story before. And your not the only one. If it had been a 320 bull no one would have gave a rip. Wait till some one tries to take a big shed or pair of sheds, that'll be next.

23 coues early, 23 coues late, and 23 mulie I really love that country.

Heres a trail cam photo of a couple of nice bucks from last september...

Heres another buck from the same cam. Hey Josh. G-up.

Excellent work Becker, and a very unique mount. Ive been wanting to get into taxidermy just for my own personal stuff. Did you take classes? I'd really like some more info if you can.

Actually didnt see these bucks during the early archery season, the larger buck was seen by my best friend during the late archery season but was so broken up that he got a pass till next season.

sorry the pic didnt come thru for some reason ill try again.
