Has anyone tried setting up a family portal? Per their email last week it says the portal is the only way you can get results in the future and to set up a family portal for the kids. I’ve been on my portal and see nowhere that even mentions it. Trying to call is impossible. Direct from their email: Family account features are now available with a portal account, so everyone — including youth — can view their draw results online

Contacted Amy at Mesa G&F , had the boys added in a matter of minutes! Thanks for the tip!

Heading there today!

Ok, I see it now. Congrats!

What happened to the video? Or is my iPad malfunctioning?

If he’s renting a cabin in one of the Happy Jack communities he has better/ closer access to 5 BS.

Checked the bank account and was stoked! $650 charge! Put my non resident grandsons in for early bull 1st choice and youth cow second. Youth cow is $50, early bull $650, woo who! We're going to be buglin bulls! Now it comes down to which one got the tag, this morning the results are on the phone. First checked Trevor, you were drawn for elk- hunt # 3063. What? That’s the youth cow, must not have hit the bank account yet. That must mean Zach got the trophy bull! Wow, both boys have hunts! Checked Zach and got- you were not drawn for elk mid winter 2021! Happy for the one tag for the boys, and I got an archery bull tag, not sure how I’ll get the $600 back.

Like someone posted, the rule was written when you could pay by check. You would need to put the higher fee in, makes sense. But now with all tags being online I think they need to change the rule.

Talked to G & F, they said I will get a refund of $600. For those of you that saw the same thing happen, it’s worth a call.

Seems selective for sure! I know in the past I’ve had the kids apply for a great hunt,” shoot for the fence” as someone said and draw the youth tag for $50. Maybe with their new system they set their computers to catch it. From what I’m hear a lot of people were surprised by it and for some it was the usual results. Congratulations troutman on your nieces tag!

I said it was my fault for not paying attention to the footnotes. But it has always been my understanding the youth would be charged for whichever hunt they were drawn for. My mistake.

I checked 2020 regs and that rule was there, but I’m pretty sure last year I put one of the grandsons in for a rut bull hunt first choice and youth cow second, was drawn for the youth cow and was charged $50 as expected. Hit me by surprise this year.

Check my post about rule 7, got you too .

So my apology to G & F , my stupid mistake!

I was just directed to this note by a friend. Didn’t know this rule. Note 7.

Both early rifle 22N

The info I have is a early rifle bull tag doesn’t come around very often. You turn it in it could be 20 years before he draws another one. Start looking for access points, old rubs, etc. it’s a good hunt.

Should work! The only time I ever tried it was at San Carlos in the early 80’s. Caught our first crappie and tied a bobber on, watched where it went and fished over it for maybe an hour with no bites. Seems the crappie went into a tree and escaped, leaving my bobber stuck. Pretty funny at the time, still think it’s a good idea😀

Love it! Been using one since Christmas, they’re foolproof for steaks, pork chops, chicken, haven’t tried elk yet but I’m sure going to! Anyone that doesn’t know about it just Google it and watch some videos. Easy way to prepare dinners.

Good job! Great video!

The last week has been a whirlwind of activity around here. Picked up my Colorado grandsons last Wednesday at the Prescott airport, neat place. You go back in time there! Wednesday was Trevors 12 th birthday, so for the next 2 weeks he’s the same age as his brother! Thursday was a day of shooting the rifles, 270 wsm for Trevor and .300 win mag for Zach, Larry’s Blauser. Both boys felt comfortable so it was off to scout a bit. We had 4 juniors in our group, Friday morning Cliff’s jr., Brooke 15, got her cow before the sun hit the ground! The rest of the group struck out on the morning hunt. That afternoon Dusty’s grandson,Jake, tagged out chasing bugles. Saturday morning Zach missed a shot , and Trevor got to see a couple of groups spook after winding us. Saturday afternoon Zach got his at 225yds and Trevor missed one at 200yds. Now we got three down and Trevor is the lone tag holder. Sunday morning bulls were going crazy when we got out of the truck, after a half hour of keeping the wind right and enough cover to hide us, Trevor put one down at 200 yds! First elk for all four kids! Couldn’t have been better!

If you’re hunting N of Mormon lake Flagstaff is close. South of Mormon lake Clints Well has gas.

Looks like you might need to start another one.

So you just throw the 1.7 on to check out something, pretty much all your glassing is without it? I think I’m using the 85 now, really nice!
