I have probably 500 or so once fired

Because it's not fraud. If you read the game and fish definitions for a crossbow permit and even a champ permit, they are wide open. Anyone with a failed muscle test can get a crossbow permit. Anyone with arthritis can get a champ tag. It's their own fault, they need to tighten up the restrictions by definition not drop the whole program all together. It's not abusing the system when the requirements are very low.

120 have 26. He's got 180 people ahead of him. If he's a resident that changes things though. 16 residents with 26 and 27 residents higher than that. https://azgfd-portal-wordpress-pantheon.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/17132601/2024-Fall-Individual-Bonus-Point-Report.pdf

Been using Cy-kik off Amazon. Works well. Theres a lot of commercial looking brands just like it.

Did you get a tag this morning? The non-res tags are sold out.

Anyone have beetles around?

Good luck! Shoot straight!

In theory. Tough to do when the unit shuts down in 6 days and the unit gets pounded for those 6 days. Not exactly a great hunting experience. I don't necessarily need to kill the biggest deer but at this point in life hunting with tons of other people and whacking a spike off the road just doesn't do it for me. I say let people shoot what they want, I just don't like what the quota system has turned the hunt experience into. I'd rather have 2-3 weeks with less tag holders and more mature deer.

Seems that way. I'd like to see some data on it, but I don't think the game and fish has any idea. Everywhere I hunt I've seen lots more pressure and lots of young bucks killed. Every young naive buck near a road is in trouble. Every unit that closes puts more pressure on surrounding units. I'm all for a draw for archery, it's not the same experience it was, it's declining drastically. Sad to say but my kids will never experince what it once was or could be with proper management. I'd prefer a draw and a better quality hunt.

It actually closes tomorrow at sundown. This quota thing is a joke. Every spike in the state is in deep trouble.

Anyone know if this is a free range hunt? This looks like a different area than the regular Kaibab/Grand Canyon hunt, wildlife area only. I've heard they are in a fence is that true? I'm referring to the Oct 11-15 hunt 7502 fall hunt.

Ever make it to the east valley?

Male or Female?

Amazing film

Vivek is an amazing speaker. If you haven't seen this recent speech you should:

We finally beat medicare! haha I can see the memes already

Deer quality is wayyyy down. I'd be a little picky and enjoy the weather and time. Don't expect a giant because they are very few and far between. The older age class just isn't there right now.

Kids hunts are better than adult hunts. Glad we got a couple.

Max points works different with sheep. It's a percentage of tags in the whole state not per hunt like other species

ya you need about 12 more than that. Everything less is pure luck

Its on, 3 tags

Ice, steroid injections, be really gentle with it. Sharp pain is a set back. Shoulders take a long time to heal. Let it rest and heal. Get a crossbow permit for this year, it's better to let it heal than push through the pain and be out for multiple years. Shoulders are notoriously slow. It also depends on how severe the tear is and how much you use it. I work on these all day every day at work.

Is anyone else having issues applying? Every other application doesn't go through saying it timed out. I did two in like 60 seconds, not sure why its giving me that error.

Thanks, we put in for it. I'll wait till we draw, if we ever do.
