Northern Pintail

This is correct but what I think a previous post was trying to say when they said they are on the gf website they were referring to the actual draw reports. Not the success rate that GF gives that is incorrect. You have to do the math your self but the info is on their website

The odds are so low anyways that it doesn’t affect it that much.

I’m surprised at this info from two guys on unit one. My buddy killed an 86 incher in 218 and it wasn’t even the big one he had found while scouting.

NoBull: Does this mean your brother took a plea on the charges he was facing? Very interesting based on your story and how you think the gf is after him. Seems like they had good reason.

Go hunt.com

I don’t have pics but I’ve heard of 5 over 200 in the last 3 years. It’s not the bab but I believe it’s the best unit south of the Grand Canyon

It is amazing how everyone on here knows That nobull350s brother killed that monster. If he did it’s a shame as he had a tag. Guess he just isn’t good enough to do it the right way.

You keep bringing that up but they clearly self reported. What your brother does is clearly more serious and involves more animals. When is that first court date? December something. Can’t wait to hear the results!!!!!

As most have mentioned it will be applied in your 6th application.

I think it’s now a standard price for all animals because of that debate of what is a trophy.

Was not a raffle hunter.

The pics of this bull are very deceiving. Rumors were a3 had him at 410 in June.

430 plus

The issue with 33 is that there is a bunch of area vehicles can’t go which means 90% of the hunters don’t go there. And there are a ton of deer in those areas so GF has to increase tags because of the deer numbers

If you compare the number of hunters in our units to another state like Colorado we don’t have the crowding issues they have. I’ve never been on a hunt in AZ that I felt crowded. Running into other hunters but not crowders. And I know it’s not possible for everyone but after Sunday noon the woods are almost empty, thus hunting the weekdays are best.

Under hunting, big game draw, bonus point process

Since the opportunity survey was implemented I think it’s hard to say that the amount of animals has decreased. If the amount of animals were decreasing each year I think that would show in their tag numbers. Give me one unit and species specific that you can directly relate lower animal numbers due to the amount of tags and nothing to do with habitat quality or drought As for quality that went down the drain with the results of the opportunity survey. Most people (I would bet 80 plus %) just want to go hunting and don’t care about the size they shoot. That is very apparent each fall when you see tons of people on fb with a small deer. If that’s what they want to shoot that’s great. Wildlife is managed for the masses Not a small percentage, specifically those who want everyone to be a trophy hunter.

What’s the conflicting information? You can find the guidelines on their website which makes it very clear what they are to do. I wish they had population objectives instead of just ratios. Ratios aren’t a good thing if there is only 50 deer in a unit

When you say plenty of deer, can you compare it to an Arizona unit for numbers? Is it like 90% of our mule deer units, 3c which has above average or kiabab that has a crap load of deer. Thanks

What’s the reason you’re selling it?

I think that’s why people like him, because they can relate to him. He isn’t a very good hunter, some of his videos his camera men have to tell him to get his gun ready and where to shoot from. I have yet to watch a hunting show or listen to a podcast where I really learned something. Which sucks. Especially podcast, I hate listening to people tell everyone how good they are but won’t teach me how to do it.

They are not out yet. But go to the main wmat page and there will be a link towards the bottom. I stopped in when I was up there last week and they said they aren’t open again until Tuesday so they won’t be posted until atleast then

Have they not cut tags the last couple years? I’m pretty sure the rifle hunt had 100 tags a couple years ago. And it’s at what now 85? I know not a huge decrease but a decrease

So did anyone watch or go?
