That is true. I’ve seen it also.

With all the rain we’ve been getting, this would’ve been a bad year to run cameras anyways. Storms 4-5 times a week in some places I hunt. Love it.

Sad but true.

I work in the ag industry. The water is getting tight and they are already feeling the wrath. The acreage that people are willing to farm are being cut due to water and farming expenses. One other interesting thing I heard was that some "business folks" have approached growers about being paid to leave their ground fallow. They were being offered some pretty substantial amounts of money to not grow anything. Tempting for a farmer who would be paid what his normal contract would be from a shipper to grow for them, Only this would be 100% profit and no grower costs (labor, gas, seed, fertilizer, spray, etc.)....This is the first I've ever heard of it in my area but I heard it's been attempted in the past in other places, mainly California. With all the fires across the country at food processing plants, there are some concerning issues between both food and water going on.

Few and far between. People should stay up north no doubt!

That would be amazing.

Ya Cabeza will be as green as ever with all the rain it’s had this monsoon. It awesome though. These animals need it.

That is crazy but we could sure use all the rain. Been a great monsoon season thus far.

Getting more rain in some of Unit 39 and a few of the 40's units of the desert. Should be some fat and happy deer over the next few months. Only 83 days until the opener. Should be a great rifle season.

That mount looks awesome man! Congratulations on a nice ram also! well done.

I hope they are spread out. Makes the hunting tougher for road hunters!

Everyone that can't pay, are you using a phone or a computer? I didn't have any issues at all on a computer.

I did the application on my lap top and so did a buddy of mine and there was no option to enter our date of birth. That's interesting, I hope I did it right.

I paid just a minute ago. Got my receipt via email.

@sidwynder505 Congratulations to your wife. Looks like you guys will be eating well through the winter! Awesome job!

I knew they would be out but I was just curious if there would be less. It sucks for us desert rats because it seems like most of the camera issues/problems are way north of us and have little to no impact on what goes on down here. I had a camera on 3 waterholes last year from August-October and I never saw another camera on any of them. Sucks to not watch all the animals coming in to drink this year.

I will only apply for the one desert mule deer hunt so they can take my $13. It's worth it for the chance to hunt desert muleys in February.

@Norteno nice video and congrats on that bull. I enjoyed that.

Man off the back patio makes it hurt more. I hope you find them and can find out who did it. That is terrible.

I’ve had bad luck with tags in the mail. Interestingly enough, The last 2 years I had to get ahold of game and fish to ask where my tag was. I’ve updated my address the previous 2 years in person with them when I got my tag and the following season I did not get it in the mail and had to go to the office to get one. Hoping year 3 is my lucky year!

Sorry to hear of your wife's passing. Wishing you the best and for safe travels and great fishing in this difficult time.

My brother borrowed my Nikon P1000 and snapped these photos of a couple bulls that were out around 600 yards. He said there was easily 200+ elk out there and the bulls were sticking closer to the tree lines.

Somebody I follow on Instagram shared a video that AZGFD has on their Instagram of a flash flood up around Flagstaff after they got an inch of rain. FullSizeRender.MOV
