    Application Strategy… Mistake?

    Hoss, I forgot that aspect of the bonus pass that they go by point total, nice explanation. Thanks

    Application Strategy… Mistake?

    My understanding is it’s a 10% non resident cap, but not a quota. Could be less but can’t be more. I think it goes by straight point total, stopping at the cap if they reach it, so the non-res tags would be interspersed. Non res may have something like tags 1, 4, 11 and 23 depending on BP amount. I’m just glad it’s so easy to figure out, yikes

    Curtis, Bonus pass is 20% so would be tag 1-40. Looks like you drew in the bonus pass. Elk hunter, im still puzzled by 23 over 22. If the 23 hunt had been 100 tags that’s the bonus pass again. The only way it’s making sense would be if 20 people put in for the 22 hunt with 4+ bonus points this year. I’m curious to see the bonus point report. Good luck to both of you guys either way. Both are great tags

    Credit Card hit thread

    Son drew youth 23. Grandma drew late rifle bull 7w but I have a feeling she’ll transfer the tag to him and he’ll point guard his.

    Credit Card hit thread

    Just got hit for an adult tag so I’m guessing it was a declined card for someone but I’ll take it! Could be me, the wife, my mom or dad

    Hunters Safety Field Day?

    My son went through in 2018. Was still 22s then. That stinks if they went to BB guns

    How's the AZGFD E-Tag app?

    To answer your question, yes the results show up faster in E-Tag

    Tract 12.5x50

    Tract makes nice glass. Not as bright as the Zeiss conquest but dang near, and neck and neck in clarity to my eyes. Maybe people are waiting for draw results, but this is a good deal. GLWS

    Black Friday buck

    I won the lottery this year and drew a late 12AW rifle tag. This fall has been a mess with a lot of family things going on, including my father in law having a stroke, so it’s been very touch and go season hunting wise. I knew going in I didn’t have the full season to hunt so I tried to keep my expectations reasonable. @buglethemin came through and made the trip up, giving up family time and spending thanksgiving in a tent. We saw some huge bucks scouting. Opening morning we saw some does where we had seen a monster buck with does the night before. The does were moving down a finger. We followed the does out, and saw a few smaller bucks and this guy in some oak thickets, but we didn’t get a real good look at him but could tell from the body he was big. They fed down the finger and down the slope to a draw to our right, then up the slope of the next finger. There was a clearing about 175 yards away and he stepped out and we got a better look at him. I decided he was the deer for me, and took the shot. He dropped, and I put another in to be sure. Just like that, the hunt was done. Could not be happier with this guy and can’t wait to go back some day.

    Barrel length

    My wife has a 16” 308. Shoots factory 150s chronographed around 2650 fps. Most bullets have an expansion range requiring a minimum FPS to expand. Starting at 2650fps gets you to the 1800fps floor for a lot of bullets right around 325 yards with 1082ke. Hard to buy a gun knowing it has that kind of a ceiling on it when a 20” barrel has none of those issues. That being said, the gun was used to kill a cow elk at around 310 yards and worked fine.

    Population Mgmt hunts

    I’ve got a few calls from game and fish on these hunts. Been a Mixed bag. If you are the first hunt, it can be good success. If you are the fourth group of hunters pounding the postage stamp size special area they are addressing, good luck.

    2023-24 archery deer tracking

    It’s funny I checked them today and it wouldn’t scroll either way. I’ll bookmark the google site

    2023-24 archery deer tracking

    On phones sometimes you’ll scroll a window within a window if that makes sense. Turning the phone sideways usually will resize it and let you scroll the bigger window
