My .02 is This is a great win (the first in a long time) for the animals, habitat and even many hunters. This was never a problem until the privilege of using trail cams became abused (mostly by guides). I would have voted for a season or ban either way, but if you want to be upset about it, be upset about with those that have abused it to make in an issue. Between the advancement in long rang shooting/wounding, Quads to UTVs getting to new and more places, Google Earth and like doing the same to equipment, clothing, optics and gear, the summer recreators opening up roads and loosing habitat to the 4-7 seasons on some units to 500+ yard muzzleloaders and people who have always hated or never shot a bow drawing archery tags and shooting these freaking air bows 150yards.... All been to the detriment of the animals and habitat. This one is a win for both. Rejoice!

Good point. Politics be politics I suppose.

Their job is to protect and preserve wildlife. Not take popular opinion.

This is the first action I have seen in a long time that actually preserves and protects wildlife. In the last 20 years the advancement in technology for hunters and recreators have all been to the peril of our wildlife. Quads, rangers and razors have opened roads and put more people in more spots. Google earth and the like have uncovered hidden canyons, springs, etc to more people, advancement in long range wounding\shooting, hunting clothing and gear even. Muzzleloaders shooting 500 plus, people that have never shot a bow hunting archery season with xbows and now fn airbows, pistols with braces during the handgun hunts. 4-7 seasons per unit. Geez let animals win one back and take some pressure off the habitat and no more 24\7 365 scouting from your couch. Nice job G&F. Hope we Make the primitive weapon hunts the next target to tighten back up now.

Thank you, I will let him know. Where are you located?

Congrats! Sounds like great bucks and no dummy there! I just texted my Taxidermist and he said he had a couple from last year, he is going to look at them and let me know what kind of shape they are in. I can let you know if you are interested.

If you are willing to spend 1K what Swivelhead said is spot on ( I have a couple of Beretta's and a Wby and my son shoots a Ruger and all great guns). For what's is worth and if you looking new and going to spend 700ish range, probably going to end up with an alloy receiver. I have had extensive time with a Stevens 555's and for an alloy gun, they do very well.

I prefer extractors.. I don't have to look for my empties on the ground and no empties left behind.

Sorry, I didn't mean to add a new post over the top of this one.. Looking for fresh/frozen after OZ gets his. Thanks! Josh

Hi all, if anyone kept and changed their mind, I have a buddy looking for cape. His was a big bodied deer with a 90" frame so something in that 3.5+ year old range I would think. East to central valley preferred. Thanks! Josh 480-36nine-4nine23

Thanks! I'm ready for a redraw though, all those are the wrong names!

any way to see the winners?

Nice. We do the bacon, jalepeno, green chili and cream cheese wrapped smoked thing with all of ours but I would like to try this some time. Thanks!

Most cameras are on tanks, most tanks are near roads, most bolt cutters will free said cameras. If you Want to cheat cheat, rules are rules for most people. I think....

I'd vote for them to be removed by Aug 1. That gets rid of the fair chase discussion, the why are you checking cams for your hunt in 2 weeks while I'm sitting here discussion and the how many people do some of these guides employ to run cameras during season discussion. It also provides a balance so they don't get completely banned which is where this is headed (just one major incident away) if there isn't some balance. Just my .02

My son does all of ours and needed a larger pot for elk (roasting pan type size). Found a few options at Goodwill for super cheap.

One found in the neck and one found in opposite shoulder. Both took a 2nd shot (not recovered bullets). I honestly can't remember the travel, but was surprised no mushrooming or expansion at all. We have recovered many bullets over the years like most of you with the exception of a partition that missed all bones, this was the first I can recall where the exit (had it exited) would have been the same diameter as the entrance after passing through a fairly heavy skinned animal. I'm sure there are many instance where they blew a hole in the size of a Buick too, just sharing these two did not perform as well as I would have expected. On the flip side, I think we are deer 5 and bear 1 now with bergers this year and last and all I can say is yuck to the internal damage.

Have also pulled out 2 out of 2 different elk that you could have dropped back in a casing and loaded. Bullet did nothing. Not my favorite for anything bigger than a deer at this point.

I was unaware of the review for every tag holder. Hoping they do that here as well Every year with every tag holder.

I got the pleasure to get to know Carol when she worked for us for a bit at the az sportsman after Floyd's passing. What a sweet lady. She moved to co, as I recall, to be with family later that year. She had two old fish baskets full of old lures of hers and Floyd's that she allowed me to purchase before she left. Hanging in my safe room to this day. Goodness that has to be 20-25 years ago now.

Sunset was awesome.. there was one on Baseline and Price (I think?) Bulk silver ringworms with chart tail... was a killer at Rosy back in the day, but the tail had to have glitter as well. I still have some and they still work on occasion.

When we moved here I think it stopped at Country Club and yes going east was a pain including dirt roads east of power for most roads south of the 60.
