Haha!!

for the benefit of everyone- where are you located?

biggest one for me: points should be squared so that less chance of low point holders getting permits. Yes, we all like the chance to get a late hunt with 1 BP, but it also is lame to wait 10-20 years for one hunt. It would go like this: 1 BP= 1BP 2 BP= 4BP 3 BP= 9BP and so on. And since AZ is growing like crazy, and our wildlife population is essentially capped, it is going to get even tougher/impossible to draw in the future. So if we square points, we should put hard caps on out-of-state draws.

My wife wants me to get rid of it. Makes a great pet. He’s been living free in my backyard for over a month 18” long. NW Gilbert.

He was happily in my backyard for over a month. I loved it- eating bugs. wife found it lost night. Ergo- he’s gotta go. If no one wants him, I’ll probably take him to the Gilbert Riparian.

I am playing a 'home game' with some of my friends and have a few open spots for tonite at 8p. We are all casual (read not great) poker players and just looking for a fun/family game tonite. $20 buyin, using pokerstars.com software (you need to download the software on a laptop- ipads and phones don't work) We'll probably be setting up a zoom call to chat during the game as well. If that matches your speed, PM me.

Where do you live?

19a for me, and looking forward to it.

I second that. great guy. It's his passion and it shows. I would never consider anyone else.

Junior deer tags at $25 each and adult tags at $45, I believe.

Any Dallas Cowboys Fan! I live in NE Gilbert

I got drawn last year with the family, and back down to the bottom of the ladder. My dad is part of the group, and he just wants to go out and hunt, as his hunting days are numbered. Given that, I am looking at 17a, 19a, and maybe the mule deer 23. The first two seem to have decent success rates relative to the chances of getting drawn. In other words, with having a couple of points, we have a decent shot of getting drawn. It goes without saying, I am deciding for my second choice. First choice with be something premium. Thx

i put in for 19a, FYI

Hoping that last weekend was far more busy, and thinking this weekend won't be so bad. Am I being too optimistic? I like to camp on the east side of Bear Canyon and hike down, since that is the less busy side.

yes. Experimented with a few different depths- 18" seemed to work the best, with the lightest shot possible.

i wish I had a more thorough collection of dry flies, but as Fri evening they were hitting the surface hard, but not on Sat AM. We caught a few on a bright yellow rooster tail, blue/silver castmaster, and the biggest hit was yellow garlic power bait. The kind that comes in those pre-made plasticy balls.

So, I got home a few hours ago. We fished a few hours Fri night and 7a-1p today. Oddly, the fishing didn’t heat up until about 10a today. we caught mostly 11 inch stock stuff, with 3 12/13 Inch guys thrown in. Had a ton a fun. my son counted 145 people fishing at the lake, though. Haha.

nicely done. how'd you catch anything in that lake? so many friggin weeds to snag on.

I could see that. Sometimes we don’t get anything. You prefer another rim lake?

Excellent feedback. Thanks all.

It’ll be online. No driving needed

I stumbled across this a few days ago. Surprised at the accuracy of it and it’s actually a pretty good tool to educate my boys on hunting techniques.

100% same. They now ask questions like: dad, in real life, can you bring down a Roosevelt elk if you shoot it with a 270 in the stomach? hahahah. so great.
