Nah... still illegal for them to use the information they gained from their official capacity to aid in the take of.. just like it would still be illegal for those cops to smoke that weed they just took. I mean FFS, guys are whining about maybe 100 game and fish guys getting to still run cameras while at work. BFD. The vast majority of hunters won't use cameras any more, just like the vast majority of agfd officers won't use them to "take" as well. If they really wanted to kill a certain animal in their unit, they can make that happen easily enough before the ban. They get to spend way more time in the field than most of us.

I think we can "what if" this to death. Like any other law or rule, it will most likely be enforced based on intent. Some of these scenarios are comical at best.

Crying that agfd gets to use cameras and we can't, is like crying that police can take drugs off person without getting charged for robbery.

duh!

That's phenomenal.

I can't decide on using my compound bow with a garmin sight on it, Muzzy that can shoot 250 yards or my AR pistol.

I turn all my mule deer into grind. Tenderloins and maybe a few back strap steaks. I shot a kaibab buck during the rut and he was decent. My desert rutting muleys have been hit or miss.

No participation ribbons in filling the freezer.

Was a joke, expert...

Thread title sounds like a porn

Don't post pictures of animals asking what they score, if you used a 1mp potato to take the picture.

Common place in 4b

Agree 23 would be an awesome hunt, especially if you know the unit well or get a guide like the ground pounders. All those units you mentioned are solid AF, really comes down to which unit you know better or want to hunt. If it were me, I would go the 23's, 3a/3c, 1 then 27.

I don't think I can get that serious about working out. Video looks nuts, I do not even think I can drink that many shakes in 24 hours.

Did you do the 8 hour arms day? Looks brutal

Hunting buddy sealed the deal on a rutting buck yesterday. Buck had 1 doe that he wouldn't leave alone.

ND boys finished 0 for 3 on shots. They both had 5 stalks+ in 4 days. Rut was good for the most part, only 1 stud buck, most others were 3x3's. 1 real wide super forker was king shhiit of about 25 does on rotation. He's a cool looking buck but not worth a resident January tag.

Great Bull! Congrats

He's like the worst poster thats ever posted. Literally only posts the dumbest ssshhhiitt ever.

Typical early archery for me consists of getting up early, driving around and listening for bugles. When the sun comes up, I try and get ahead of the herd. I usually will try and get into shooting distance without calling. If the bugling stops, a really weak sounding bugle usually will illicit a response. In the afternoon I will sit water 80% of the time, usually getting into my blind around noon-1 and sitting until after dark. If the elk are vocal, I do not mind trying to get them to come into calls. Each scenario is different, sometimes, just a few cow calls, other times breaking branches, raking and bugling. I like to feel out an elk and try to figure out if he has cows or not when calling. Pulling a herd bull away from his cows can certainly be done, but it is very difficult most of the time. I usually have better luck getting a cow to come to calf calls and hopefully he follows.

Az archery is top notch imo. Im thinking you should have said something. I'd make a few phone calls and get accurate prices from the shops. Cheap 75$ strings and cables are a PITA when they continually stretch. I'd spend the money and get a better set.

Depending on brand 100-200$

I'm with you, Sitting water on early archery hunts is almost always productive.
