A SQL database wouldn’t so much as sneeze at the difference between 170 thousand apps and 170 million apps

I bet they’re planning a season. Rep Thorpe proposed HB2130, which would do exactly that. It looks like it’s gone back and forth between the state legislature and the AZGFD rule-making process, but it could have something to do with it. Bill: https://legiscan.com/AZ/text/HB2130/id/2088833 Withdrawal: https://www.azleg.gov/press/house/54LEG/2R/200116THORPEHB2130AND31.pdf

I’d be open to scopeless muzzleloaders, other states do it. It would hopefully take the pressure off those seasons but wouldn’t ban any guns that are legal today - just take off the scope. If and when most/all archery deer seasons go to draw, I’d like to see to an OTC primitive archery season added back (no compounds or sights)

I’m against any bonus point bailouts like squaring or preference point conversion. If you have been applying unsuccessfully all your life it’s because you bet on applying for glory tags despite knowing your odds would be long. That bet didn’t turn out the way you wanted. Too bad, so sad. Cry me a river. I have a mixed opinion on tag transfers. On one hand I’ve seen transfer tags go to kids after the original tag holder fell ill or died and I’m favorable to that. On the other, I don’t like seeing little kids hunting bighorn or pronghorn when the original tag holder was their grandmother who never hunted a day in her life

I’ve been mostly working top to bottom but I did go down to 220 in the afternoon and glassed up

I’m in it to the bitter end. I didn’t see any bucks today but I saw lots of does in the burn between 220 and 225. Am I just not looking hard enough or should I try another area?
