G&F will probably auction off the hunts or charge outrageous prices for the tags/hunts if it does go through.

If they kill off the buffalo and not the wild burros they are idiots

Its raining where the elk live. Keep it coming.

Great find!

A few more weeks and I am gonna be hitting the hills hard. Shed season hurry up!

I keep it simple. If my dog doesn't like you, i dont like you. I have been around and raised pitbulls my whole life. It just so happens that pitbulls are strong animals that usually win when they are attacked. . They are a very popular breed among getto community's I know. But you cant put them all in a group. Ignorance. I will give you some advice. Most renters insurance will not insure a house that has pitbulls. If the house is being rented by a property management company they probably dont allow pitbulls either. There is a law against barking dogs and people do/ have gone to jail for repeated violations of this offense. Hope this helps.

Put my son in for his first big game hunt!! 8 rifle cow/ 7 west cow. Archery bull/archery cow for me. Good luck to all!!

How i like my snakes

Uh oh! Now the draw odds are going to go down because of this comment. Jk, congrats! I was wondering if you tagged out.

The people who are successful in 19a are mostly locals who spend alot of time in it. I live in the unit and i still have never hunted it for elk. Better options in other units.

When i first saw it i thought it was a arrowhead.

Plenty of pigs out by the cross U ranch.along Hitt wash.

Amazing find!!

ORO ranch has a old winchester a employee found leaning against a tree on trout creek. It is in the ranch headquarters. My brother left my 22 leaning against a tree once. Luckily we found it quickly!

Its 385 less rifle tags. Overall its only 253 less tags. They just got moved around.

There are a handful of limited opp hunts that can be drawn as a 3rd - 5th choice. Outside of that, its pretty slim pickens. The number of elk tags this year in AZ is 385 less than it was last year. With a record number of applicants last year, and a reduced number of tags this year, its going to be tougher than ever to get tags, but if, you want to hunt elk, there are plenty of options that provide you with that option every single year. Yes I am thinking I should put what would be my second choice as my first choice. This is going to be the first time my son can put in for elk so as long as i can get him a cow tag i dont mind the butcher job they did to the permit numbers. Good luck everyone!!

This will be the year of some units moving into the third choice bracket with g&f increasing tags in some units. I have drawn the multi unit tags on 4th and 5th choice. But i will not be putting in for it this year. Not a bad hunt but with five weeks to hunt it can get expensive if you end up hunting the whole season lol! Lots of elk but they are always on the move. Im planning on putting in for 1st and 2nd and if i dont get hit im going to Utah for an otc hunt. Elk populations are booming there compared to az.

I was wondering if any members have gone to Utah for an otc hunt and how was it compared to AZ as far as hunting pressure and success. Not interested in trophy bulls just a fun hunt.

My great grandfather was illegal.He was from Poland. I aslo hear of people from other countries with red and blonde hair coming over back in the day. Some of them made good Americans. Some not.

Yesterday was the last day of my five week cow hunt. I was able to get out for a few weekends between work. I was lucky enough to tag out on this hunt last year but i am eating tag soup this year. I had alot of fun and saw some beautiful country. Found this deadhead and saw some nice mule deer bucks. Good luck to everyone still in the field.

do you know if it's a bull hunt? I wish g&f would open a few junior bull hunts!

As one of the guilty ones not attending the meetings I will wait for the regs to come out. Pick my hunts,and go hunting without complaint. It sounds like g&f is gonna do what they want. What I would like to know is if the overall population of elk in AZ is increasing or decreasing? Anybody have any links for such information?

New balance makes some great hiking shoes. Cheap to. I made the mistake of spending big bucks on boots that suck. I usually wear hiking shoes/boots. And then some heavy duty boots for the cold and snow.
