Lol, that moment when you think you have a mob behind you, only to find out your the only one streaking down the street. Being upset about a perceived delay in cc charging is something I'd expect from the newer entitled generation. You look far too old in your picture to fall into that category. Give it a rest Frank the tank.

"Gladly"??

Congrats, now go change that tampon and enjoy your hunt.

IMO, this has never been about guides vs. hunters. Some guides, with bad intentions, will try to scare you into thinking that, but it's not the case. I think it is more about doing something, anything, to try and conserve our resource. Technology is constantly evolving and in order to keep our numbers where they need to be or keep hunting what it used to be, limitations need to happen. I do not think anyone would argue that there have been numerous advances in technology that has contributed to more animals being taken or wounded. Long range guns, long range bows, rangefinder, camo, gps, 15's, SxS's, quads, the list is endless. Trail cameras fall on that list too. Something needs to happen or hunting is going to continue on it's current course. The art of hunting is lost in many people. I see no problem with giving up my trail cameras, as a small concession, to start letting the animals get a little leg up on us. The reason I do not mind trail cameras leaving is simply, I have seen how much they can benefit me and others. We literally hunt stands and or blinds because of what is showing up on cameras. For anyone who runs cameras to disagree with that statement, they are not being honest with themselves. With trail cameras, you do not even need to be in the woods to gather very useful information for your upcoming hunt. heck, you can be hunting 10 miles away and at night go check a camera on the other side of the unit and then change your plans for the next day. One might say that a hunter can get just as much or more info from a trail camera than they could get from flying in an airplane or parachute plane. We can debate for days on which new technology has had the biggest impact, but that really comes down to opinion unless 5 or 10 year studies are conducted. The fact that some guys are willing to give up nothing and continue to watch hunting get shittier and shittier each year, boggles my mind. I would happily give up other new advances if it means better hunting down the road or less conflicts in the field. The fear mongers and the hardcore "I give nothing up" guys are the biggest threat. It is only a matter of time before someone comes out with another technological advance that makes hunting even easier. At some point, we need to not be so self centered and look at the big picture. Why they chose Game cameras is a decision they made. I simply agree that they need to limit them or completely ban them. AGFD should get the forest service and BLM on board and make this happen. Again, just my opinion. At any rate, I ask all to contact your commissioner and let them know your feelings on this issue. Do not let me or a loud mouth, arrogant guide, tell you how to think. https://www.azgfd.com/agency/commission/members/contact-commissioner3/ https://www.azgfd.com/agency/commission/members/contact-commissioner/ https://www.azgfd.com/agency/commission/members/contact-commissioner4 https://www.azgfd.com/agency/commission/members/contact-commissioner1/ https://www.azgfd.com/agency/commission/members/contact-commissioner2/

Guess the last season on my trail cameras will be for somebody else's tag. 😛

Nice! Your responses on this thread are solid! You sound like a real stand up guy with some common sense. I appreciate that after hearing other guides on here seem so arrogant and ignorant.

Desert guide, what is the name of your guiding outfit?

Best thing we can do is just keep letting these guides comment on the issue. They literally are making Agfd's case for them. Sir royal just admitted that he found that giant bull because of his trail cameras. Also admitted its all about inches with him. Bragging about helping with the #2 muzzy bull and throwing out the score. Guys' freely admitting that a ban will hurt the the average guy more than guides because they won't have as much time to get in the field. AGFD is saying that exact statement. Trail Cameras make scouting and hunting EASIER and require less time in the field. Setting cameras and learning an animals'habits takes 0 hunting skills which is exactly what fair chase is all about.

Another comment period will be opened today by Agfd. Those in favor or not in favor of restricting trail camera usage, please send your comments in to the commissioners. Stay tuned..🤣

I agree with you 100%

How should they word it to make it enforceable in your eyes?

Sad....

dang it!! Thought for sure I had it. FML

lmfao. I mean, we are talking lower than last night's homo/ no homo argument low.

So Stanley says this guy has another account on here. The guy says this is his first account on here. Are we being lied to by a moderator? That would be rock bottom. PS, my guess is that ugglyredheadbilly member.

I love it. Guys keep paying it, why not keep charging it right? Clearly there are guys that have no problem paying that price.

Weather is the #1 factor for me, 2nd is how much help I have with me on the hunt. By myself with cold temps, 2 milesish is about where I would like to top out. A guy to help, maybe extend to 3 miles. Warm weather, under 2 miles with help. By yourself and warm, less than a mile unless you want to lose a bunch of meat. Like Greyghost, I have been part of a bunch of elk packouts and rarely are they over a mile here in Az.

Plus, if you are a good dentist, you surround yourself with hot hygienists and assistants.

I wouldn't let any dentist do a kidney transplant on me. Haha. Dentists are just unmotivated drs. Kidding, I know you are a dentist. My other half is a hygienists, so I hear some of the mexico stories. I also hear LOTS of stories of local dentists who suck. Bad dentistry causes a multitude of problems down the road, but saying all mexico dentists are bad is likely untrue.

Maybe taxes or insurance rates are less in Mexico.

If it were me, I would wire into that trolling motor power, but I would put an inline fuse in. The trolling motor fuse is gonna melt that little 16 ga or smaller wire, before it trips it out in the case of a short.

I actually have found common ground with ole Josiah! Good message you sent.

Great News!

With how distorted that picture is, he looks like he's part giraffe. That 3rd tho!

Another thought... let's not get worked up over something that hasn't even happened yet? It's like everyone these days is just looking for a reason to get pissed..
