Some of the parties involved are members and contributors of this site and I've already spoken with some of them individually about my concerns. I'm not looking to get back into it in a public forum.

Very fair comments. I have had personal first hand experience with individuals involved with more than one of these programs that has soured me and turned me off to all of them, and I admit that is not fair. No doubt some are outstanding organizations. But until some form oversight is put into place, I'll have a hard time supporting them and would rather see the tag go to the next person in line.

WOW! Just curious why this upsets you so much? I have first-person experience with some of these individuals and groups and seen the abuse. I'm not just talking about youth javelina tags. Are you suggesting no one person has received multiple tags from these organizations, and in back-to-back years?

I knew him as well. Outstanding guy. But one doesn't have anything to do with the other. These programs are too often misused and at times abused.

I don't think I said he is dishonest. But he is wrong. Likely just misunderstood or was misguided.

They will. I think the OP just thought he would get his points back if he returned it and is confused there. You don't have to have point guard to return a tag.

Or return it to AZGFD so it can go to the next person in line (what a crazy idea 😒). Some of these donation organizations are great. Others seem to give primo tags to the same people over and over again year after year in an eye-raising manner. I'm over that and everyone should be.

You taking a lot of shots at 307.5 yards?

Appears the agenda for tomorrow has been revised.

That lead killed game is exponentially safer and more healthy than 99.99% of what you buy at the grocery store. Fear of lead poisoning is probably the last reason I would switch to all copper. Probably the best thing you could do for your family’s health, physically and mentally, is to get them off of social media and listening to people who have found success in monetizing fear and paranoia.

My buddy used one out of his truck on a long hunt I was on with him. It was AWESOME!

If I read the map correctly, Big Lake and most of the surrounding area becomes private property.

Were they wild turkey? Always looking for better ways to cook the wild ones.

Wealthy landowners buy checkerboard parcels for a reason, basically 100% ownership for half the price. This would kill that. Fantastic and fingers crossed this spread nationwide.
