Yeah Baby!! That's what I'm talk'n about.

Most of my guns look like that.

Seems to me the online application system is usually available around the 3rd week of January.

As a kid growing up in the 70's my dad and I would go walking around Mnt. Ord. We use to find all kinds of old bottle and such. A lot of the old bottles back in the day used to have their date on the bottoms. I still come across a few old ones from time to time.

G&F should not allow NR's any OTC options. Name one other western state that allows NR's the chance to hunt mule deer or coues deer during the rut by just buying an OTC tag. Albeit now they have to move quick to buy online. Arizona has a very finite resource and an ever-growing human population. By making NR's apply for all their hunts it will make them use their accumulated bonus points whereas now they apply for some primo rifle hunts and then buy OTC.

Don't mean to hijack thread but what is the advantage of an e-tag from a hunter's point of view? I never found using a paper tag all that difficult and never once had a problem with the current way of using a tag. I always completed surveys online once I got the reminder in the mail. Easy peazy. The way I see it there are more negatives to an etag. No phone service to "tag" animal and people questioning whether or not your animal is actually tagged are just a couple red flags for me. What am I missing? I'm not trying to be negative, just trying to understand better.

I don't have tires or wheels but I have original front and rear A-arms suspension for Polaris General 4 1000 if you need any? Less than 300 miles use on them. $40 for all.

Yes, those pups are all blues and will get darker after a few months. They will look just like mom & dad.

I am on my 3rd one and each of them have been great dogs. Very devoted to owner and super smart. I do not recommend these dogs for people who only want a house pet. These dogs are born to work and be messed with.

I have a youth model Remington 870 20 ga you can borrow. I live near 83rd ave and Happy Valley rd. John 623-680-4458

Anyone know how his hunt went?

Yep. I'm so good I can even find my way around without a phone.

Sorry but I hope this is a very short-lived solution. We live in a state with a very limited number of deer that is not increasing. At best, some units are stable. Compound that with a human population that has already grown over 6 million people over last 40 years and is predicted to grow by another 1.4 million people this decade. All this and then add on the 20+ year drought we have been experiencing. The last thing we should be offering is OTC opportunities to non-residents when we can't meet the needs/wants of the residents. What other western state offers OTC deer (especially mule deer) opportunities to NR's during the very best times to hunt them during the rut? This is crazy I have no facts to support this assumption, but I only know what I have observed and read. I believe NR's are more successful per capita than resident hunters. When they travel from out of state to hunt, they tend to hunt harder and longer than most resident OTC archery deer hunters. Because of this they tend to be more successful. A NR is more likely to hire a guide/outfitter as well which adds to their success Game fish should have just issued NR's a very limited # of tags for each unit and made them apply and draw the tag. I am not anti- NR but I am pro Arizona wildlife and hunters. With the quota system in place now all this new NR's solution is going to do is take opportunity away from residents. The faster quotas fill, the sooner hunts close. If I'm wrong, I am wrong. Nothing would make me happier.

I checked 3 - 4 hours ago and I could see my tag #'s but now they are gone. oh well....

I have a brand new one of the Coleman ovens krp describes. Brand new still in box. You can have it for free if you ever come up to north Peoria, John 623-680-4458

When I see stuff like this it reminds me why I am so thankful our founding fathers had the foresight that they did. Simply genius.

Thanks for sharing video. I have heard all kinds of horror stories about hunting 23 and 27 as being very physical. After watching the video first thing I noticed is there are no rock and boulders to walk and trip over. The areas I hunt may not be up and down hard but the rocks kick your butt. That almost looked like walking on a carpeted floor. My ankles would scream for joy if I ever hunted someplace like that.

A quick search on the internet found this 20c youth camp from last year. Not sure if they are doing it again but might be worth contacting them. Be safe and Have fun. Unit 20C Youth Deer Hunt Camp - AMDO - (beoutdoorsarizona.org)

That's too bad. Will probably starve to death as it becomes too difficult to eat.

Been there & done that. Bummer

A quick search on the internet will give you lots of ideas and other peoples answers to your question. Plenty there to keep you busy for a while. Good Luck

I get checked nearly every time I hunt 12a west and during spring turkey hunts along the rim.

I ordered some .357 ammo last January for my HAM hunt that I am still waiting on. Almost forgot about it until I read this. Now I need to look back through my records to find out where I ordered from.

I have the 0 degree bag. Very satisfied

If I didn't already have a Polaris General 4, I would consider this for the mere fact Rhino's fit in bed of truck. Good Luck with sale.
