That's a good problem to have.

I heard they are supposed to stock lower lake Mary today with trout.

My father completed AZ trail and was a trail steward for a numbers of years. He did it on horseback in the 2000's and he accomplished it over a few years. I believe he was number 108 to complete. He helped a number a of others complete it as well. I think he told me he did the grand canyon and crossed the Colorado River 6 different times because people were worried about that trip.

15 or so years ago, I saw more turkeys in unit 34 south of Cloudcroft than any other place I have ever been. The road south out of town goes along a narrow meadow and there were Tom's all along the drive strutting right out in the wide open at multiple spots. We couldn't hunt them because they were all on private land. Unit 34 has lots of private land and got to be such a big hassle that we never returned. Anytime I travel out of state to hunt or fish, I come back with a better appreciation of Arizona and all our public land. Good Luck

It does appear that K4 is having some habitat improvements going on on their ranch: https://www.azgfd.com/wildlife/landowners/#:~:text=The Landowner Relations and Habitat,through a variety of programs. But it does not seem that they have a compact agreement with G&F. I could be all wrong but this what I found out with just a little bit of research. https://www.azgfd.com/landowner-compact/

No Thanks. Too many more stupid things that I enjoy more.

I'm pretty stingy with my money but I will and do support the things I believe in. Wildlife and conservation are very important to me so I will support things such as this.

For you guys who know more about fishing than I do. How long will we have to wait until a reasonable chance at catching bass or crappie at Roosevelt or Alamo? Any advice for us casual fishermen is greatly appreciated.

When in 12a in the fall, I see way more birds down in the low country than I ever have up high. I've never been there during spring turkey season so I am not sure if they move back on top of the plateau. I once counted 42 birds in a flock and then drove 1/2 mile down the road and found another flock in the high 20's. Definitely don't see anything near that where I hunt birds now.

"AZGFD tries to catch the second cycle to maintain a population." This has always confused me. G&F contradicts this by allowing killing of hens in the fall. AZ is not a turkey rich state, and the killing of the baby makers should never be permitted IMO.

Mingus Mountain Longbeards is also having a banquet this weekend. National Wild Turkey Federation (nwtf.org)

I also remember a time when there were no crew cabs and everyone piled into front like those four fellas.

I don't know why but I was expecting to see more snow near Alpine on the road to Big Lake.

and so it begins...........

I have gone back and forth on whether I should sale mine too. I have less than 15 cameras but running cameras was my summer hobby. I supported the ban but I sure do miss it. I may pull them out of storage and put them in places/units I no longer hunt or plan to hunt. Gives me something to do and I just like to see what I can get pictures of. Good luck with your sale.

I haven't put a 3rd, 4th or 5th choice in 12-15 years. If they are left after rounds one or two, I just don't want to hunt them and use my points. I'd just as soon buy an OTC tag or go varmint calling. JMO. Congratulations to all that drew.

Actually, I think an archery bull tag as a third choice is more farfetched than a rifle cow tag. Congratulations no matter, you are going elk hunting.

Can anyone get into their portal account right now? I just tried for myself, and two boys and I keep getting an error message.

We got our table

This draw seems to be unique to all the past draws. Can't believe how so many people have been hit so sporadically.

I am putting a table together and so far have 6 people. I am waiting for a few other guys to reply by March 1st. If they don't, you are welcome at our table. Contact me by March 2nd as we are booking the 6 of us singles or a table if we have it. No matter what we are booking on the 2nd. John 623-680-4458

Didn't realize there were so many coueswhitetail guys near me. I am at 80th ave just south of happy valley. Somebody got a great deal.

my favorite model. Good Luck with sale.

I know things have changed dramatically over last few years but I sold my 2001 creampuff 4runner 3.5 years ago, mint condition, 4x4, low miles for the year never offroad with it and I got $3900. Wish I had it back but I wouldn't sell it this time. Good Luck with your sell.
