Should be anytime now and start seeing hits, hopefully

I’ll take them.

With society the way it is better not to mention that dogs were used even though they deserve a good amount of recognition for killing bit lion.

Congrats. I grew up in the Thumb area and one of these years will make it back to hunt where my hunting passion began.

Thanks Dan for the needed clarification. That makes sense and probably a much better hunter experience overall with the limiting of helpers.

Seems so odd they have a rule that you can have a hunting buddy along with you but they can’t glass. I understand the limiting of guys helping for sure but not allow the one person you can take to glass is crazy. So when guys are guided is the guided hunter allowed to glass?

What are you guys using for a tripod/head when using the BTX and what do you think would be perfect setup?

Will check it out today. Not a fan of carbon for tripods and perfer aluminum. Thanks

Thanks I was leaning to that head and you help made the decision easy. Ordered the head today. Just need to figure out the legs.

I just applied with my phone and no issues, got receipt. But never had to put in DOB

Seen cameras on a few water holes and catchments in 3c recently. It would be interesting to see what the 9, Strip water sources and the salts for Buffalo look like right now. I would bet Tory, A3 and Mossback are still using them.

Not true and you should read about what the states allow currently and changes coming for NR. NM is looking at not allowing NR apply for Sheep tags anymore even though the only reason they have sheep is because of NR. Here is what a NR has to pay for ELk tags across the west right now and think of the quality of hunt you get here in AZ compared to some of these other states if your able to get drawn: NV $1,200 plus license CO $701 plus license MT $934 plus license ID $652 plus license CA $1,568 plus license UT $1,000 plus license NM $773 plus license WY $1,283 sp plus license AZ $650 plus license

AZ G&F needs to increase the NR fees. Other states are cutting NR tags and increasing the NR fees. Even requiring NR to buy points after the draw for more revenue in some states. NR have it pretty good in AZ compared to most other states.

Check these guys out. They have a pistol of mine right now and have been great to work with. First time using them but was referred by a couple guys that say their one of the best. https://fordsguns.com/

Josh does amazing work. Congrats

Also have used Euro Optics and been very happy with customer service and prices.

9 points and did draw a late Coues Tag. Either point creep or carp hunters are burning their points on Coues Deer now realizing they aren’t catching max ever.

Nada for me again. Really hoping to burn points with possible changes coming but sure a lot of guys with higher points were thinking same thing.

How many years has it taken them to do the draw in-house to be somewhat smooth. Most of those years had major problems with the draws and delays. The portal is still not right. They aren’t good at managing our wildlife either! Antelope are really struggling and trophy quality and fawn survival is very low. If it wasn’t for Park and reservations our Elk would have very few 360+ bulls. Continue to pummel our Coues Deer with multiple hunts and hundreds of hunters in each hunt. Buffalo hunt is a joke and continue to fail in dealing with the issue of guides and DIY hunter conflicts. Lion regulations is laughable Trail Camera new rule, whatever the rule is, has only made the issue worse. Trail Camera season or ban would be better then what they came up with. We probably pay some of the highest resident tag fees in the west and non resident tag fees are one of the lowest.

You can find H1000 online if you keep looking but I have not been able to find RL26.

I used a 210 VLD out of a 300wm on a moose and was impressed. Going to try 246 Hammer Hunters on a new build for moose.

My points page says as of 3/8 but they didn’t give me an additional point for not drawing elk and antelope. Must be still working on that patch job.

Congrats! I entered for the moose hunt but no call.

Nada-again

I like the way Nevada does it by squaring your points. You actually have a better chance of drawing % if you have 12 points compared to someone with 4.
