That's great info! Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately field days can be difficult to get into. You may need to travel around the state if you need to get the field day completed before a paticular hunt. Otherwise you can wait for a local field day. Yes, youth can take the online course and then attend the field day.

They have had this program for a long time. The only difference lately is the discount went from 35% to 40%. Vortex is a great company!

I will be there tonight

Spinning rod & reel, 10 pound test line, size 10 treble hook and some bread. You will have a great chance to catch anything in the pond.

Nice Lance!!!!

All of this makes sense, but furthermore people getting upset that they didnt draw is like being mad that you didnt win the lottery. Its still a random drawing.....the key word in this is RANDOM. Unless you have the max BP's working in your favor you are subject to the RANDOM part of this drawing. As much as it sucks myself and a few good buddies plan on hunting out of state every year and the draw for elk in AZ is just a bonus at this point in time! What he said ^^^^^^^

So I guess my question is are cow tags in more demand than nov archery bull tags? I guess it could be an easier hunt(cow) so ppl choose that as a second choice. Yea I've seen a few picks of guys with these nov Bulls. Most seem to be studs. I'm thinkin bout one of these hunts as second choice next yr. I want to hunt so I don't care when it is! Yea I've had a sept archery hunt and its a ball and I love to listen to bugles and chase them but that comes with its on set of problems. I'm just thinkin if you can find them in nov they would be very kill able since they don't wonder over three counties at that time! Idk never tried a late hunt though Yes, the november bull tags are easier to draw than the cow tags. This is due to several different reason. 1. The Novemeber tags are Archery. 2. Surprisingly, a lot of people want cow tags. A lot of poeple just want the meat and could care less about the antlers. Plus the tags are still easier to draw than bull tags so more people put in for them. Just my 2 cents.

I think G&F should give everyone a tag. That way the following year nobody will complain about not getting a tag. Instead everyone will complain about not seeing any Elk, becasue they were all killed the previous year. I'm still shocked about how often people bitch and moan about not getting a tag. If you look at the draw odds you will see you probably had very little chance at drawing. Why are you suprised? Again, if you want to hunt elk put in for the easier to draw tags, OTC tags or go out of state. There are a lot of other options you just have to be willing to do something a little different.

I love all the white on his face. Looks like a really old Buck. Congrats!

No amount of updates will solve the problem. All current draw systems have issues. We have little supply for the amount of demand. If you want to hunt more you need to start hunting out of state!

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That happens in every draw. When you don't have enough points to be in the bonus pass everyone has a chance in the random draw. Yes more points equal more raffle tickets, but you are not guaranteed. Better get used to it if your going to play the game in states with bonus points instead of preference points. It doesn't bother me anymore. I know that's the way the game works. The reality is drawing tags is getting harder and harder each year.

If your going to be in the Phoenix or Queen Creek area I can pick up the Rutumbo for Casey.

Very nice! Congrats!

What is the story behind the smoke Turkey?

You must be a democrat, because you were fishing in sandals:)

No way! I can draw 2 Archery Elk tags or 4-5 late season Elk tags in the same amount of time it takes to draw a rifle Antelope tag.

FYI, I would not buy a Christensen Arms gun without seeing it shoot first. I've seen sevearl at the range that shot horrible! That's a lot of money for a gun that doesn't shoot properly!

Did you ask them what she was drawn for? Usually they will tell you.

TJ, just curious how many of those 28 years you were successfull?

Nice screen name

Hey big B what kind of hunts do you have planned up north? Sounds like moose and bear? I'm going spring Bear hunting in May and Fall WT hunting in November. It's going to be Awesome!!!
