A lot of legal issues with tagging a bull after the hunt closes. Especially this late. You should both tread lightly.

VLDs fly great, but the jacket is too thin and they are trash on big game. You are asking over retail for ammo that looks old and who knows how it has been cared for.🤔

Return it to AZGFD. While some of these tag donation organizations get tags to great people, too many give tags to the same people year after year. Seems like it gets abused more and more to me.

I don't have any idea about what he was trying to locate. I don't know the man. I am just fed up with AZGFD overreach, bias, and bad WMs. Don't get me wrong, I personally know several great WMs. But you must have missed the part where he was flying what is said to be 1-2 weeks before his deer hunt, which is 100% legal. Only way it becomes illegal is if he had a tag for the OTC elk or was helping a hunter with a tag for that hunt. I haven't seen anyone or anything suggest that is the case. I would suspect you have some bias against Mr. Koury or guides in general? Seems something is clouding your basic logic?

You are incorrect. AZGFD has no jurisdiction over where people can fly unless it directly pertains to their charter of game & fish. It is really frightening how easily you are willing to blindly hand over authority to your rights. After your comments, I dug into this a little further today. It turns out this “judge” is a justice of the peace, an elected official not required to have any formal legal experience or education in order to qualify for office. Untrained under qualified judges with overzealous prosecutors (out of Colorado City none the less), WMs who get a little tingle in their dingle at the prospect of “getting” a well known guide, and AZGFD who has repeatedly demonstrated they have no respect for their own boundaries. Talk about a giant circle jerk!

I came upon this topic and was intrigued by some of the comments. I believe AZGFD has a long history of overstep and abuse of authority. For example when they passed unconstitutional rules prohibiting hunters from carrying a firearm while archery hunting. This AZGFD rule was overturned because AZGFD has no authority to pass laws/rules beyond the scope of taking game. As long as the archery hunter doesn’t use his firearm in the process of taking the game, AZGFD should and has to mind their own business and not infringe on second amendment rights. Based on this limited information, it seems Mr. Koury is a victim of another AZGFD overreach. As long as an individual isn’t fly to aid in taking big game, AZGFD has no jurisdiction to tell anyone when or where they can fly, even during an open hunt. So unless AZGFD can prove Mr. Koury had a tag for the OTC elk hunt, or was helping someone for that hunt, they have no case. Mr. Koury was within his legal rights to fly anywhere he wanted in the area up until the 48 hour period before his hunt. It sounds like this incident occurred a week or two before hunt? So if all of this is accurate, Mr. Koury should absolutely win his appeal, the warden should be reprimanded, and AZGFD needs to apologize for their abuse of authority AGAIN.

Seems like we all agree (minus Flatlander), Giles is narrowminded POS who can't see past a few personalities flaws to recognize what is best for the country. Fortunately for Giles, Harris is squeeky clean. No morally questionabile background there...

Taking this kind of stand only punishes you and those you hunt with. Big brother doesn't care and it makes the liberals happy that their control mechanism is working.

To get radios from "listening technology" seems a pretty big stretch. But the commission has a way of doing whatever the heck they want, so who knows.

I recently stayed at an Airbnb in the mountains that used Starlink. I was very impressed. Way better than the other crappy internet providers up north.

The more NRs that apply the better. They aren't getting any more tags, but all that money comes into our state.

Come on Bro, just own it. You were on the phone with Scott's boy Cody this morning at the crack of dawn.

All you guys selling your 12s and 15s aren't going to like it, but the market became saturated with used binos about 5 minutes after the announcement. You are going to need to bring your prices down if you want to move your binos anytime soon. You aren't likely going to get what you could have a week ago.

I don't buy it. IMO they were holding these back. They would have sold a lot fewer 12s and binos in total had they released them together.
