I originally received a rejection notice on Monday and then on Friday I received another notice that I drew a 2nd season spring turkey tag in the 2nd round of draw. I didn't even know there was a 2nd round to the draw. I haven't hunted SC since 2019 so it will be nice to go back. I have hunted east, central and west and birds seem pretty evenly dispersed to me. See way more bears on east side.

Back in the day when we could run cameras, I got a picture of a spike elk shedding one side. It's a still picture and the spike is in the air about 3 feet above him. This also the time of year when I had most my cameras stolen. Shed hunters were the worst.

Thanks for the information, Dan. While I appreciate the opportunities SCAT provides to non-members their communication services are terrible IMO. It took me 3 weeks to get someone on the phone to ask a question on the spring turkey draw. The website is outdated and not accurate as it has all last year's information. Even the new online lottery system did not offer dates of the hunts and the number of tags being offered for each hunt. It's hard to put in for time off when there are no dates of hunts. Thanks for sharing your contact information. I may reach out to you if I have other questions. John

Hands down, the worst run agency. They make USAid look like a model of efficiency and accountability.

I've been on here a long time but every time someone refers to Lark or .270, I have no idea what they are talking about and goes right over my head. I guess I missed something, but I have no interest in going back are reading old threads. So, continue to carry on with whatever you are carrying on about.

They did this to try and stop the people (mostly NR's) who can squeeze 3 application cycles out of one license (elk, deer and elk again). Depending how the calendar works each year they may still be able to until the calendar falls back a week. Many NR's are waiting to apply on last day Tuesday the 4th and buy a new license then. Then their plan is to hope and pray G&F site holds up and doesn't crash. I'm in already so I don't have to worry about it. Good luck to all those that apply.

Hard to believe but there was a time every time you drove around in those units you saw bucks like this. And it wasn't just during the rut. The Az elk population Boom of 80's - 90's, trapping ban in early 90's, and drought that began around 2000 has been the demise of mule deer IMO.

I think you need to stop and look at the data and statistics to know that the crossbow permitting system was clearly being abused. Crossbow permit holders are taking a disproportionate number of deer and thus reducing opportunity for bowhunters. Your argument is based off emotion and not rational thought.

Anyone have a rangefinder that works properly just laying around collected dust? I am looking to buy one for somebody else but don't want to break the bank. So, if you have one for sale at a smok'n price let me know. Thanks John in North Peoria PM me or call 623-680-4458 Please include pics.

I hope all those in favor of stopping this legislation are writing/calling their state representatives. You got to do more than just post here.

CHAMP permit was created for those people who are so severely disabled that they need to hunt and shoot from a vehicle.

Not in favor of this as it is written. Says nothing about if landowner has to agree to allow public hunting on their land if they accept a LO Tag. That should be a must. LO elk tags should be for cow only. It has been agreed upon by the courts, the wildlife belongs to the state no matter where they reside.

This will be abused too.

I am also interested in trailer rental that sleeps 3-4 adults comfortably for summer camping and early archery deer seasons in Coconino County area.

Sorry, I can't help you but if/when you buy, report back and tell us how much money you saved by going this route of searching best seller. Good Luck with Buy.
