I would compare it more to an above average AZ unit. Not Kiabab level, IMO.... Basically, like most of Utah, the terrain is a lot different than the typical AZ unit. Different than the Kiabab, as well. It's basically lots and lots of sage brush covered canyons, interspersed and pocketed with Fir & Aspen. There are big stands of Fir/Aspen covering the top of the mountain(s), as well as most of the north facing slopes (Again, like most of Utah....). Mule deer heaven! LOL

I’ve hunted Nine Mile both general and archery. Plenty of deer, but can get a bit crowded close to the roads. That being said, it’s pretty easy to hike and get some solitude. Fair amount or private land up high. Overall, I enjoy it the there. PM me if you want a few more details. S.

YES!!!! Outstanding, Ernesto!! So awesome that Hector was able to be there (He is THE MAN!)! Great pronghorn, and I'm sure Chef told you what great eating they are! Thanks for sharing! S.

OUTSTANDING!!!! SO happy for Hunter!! S.

My opinion is that they should leave it as is. If they make the surrender deadline a week or two early, then it seems there would be guys complaining because they could not leverage point guard even if a valid reason came-up a few days prior to the hunt. Bottom line is that NO system is perfect. Swivelhead was next in line and he made the best decision for him at the time. So they then go to the next person, and they can decide the same thing. No biggie, IMO. At least it's not like the old days when folks lost many points due to something coming-up that is out of their control. S.

No need to explain yourself to the trolls...... Good luck and enjoy! Hope you and your cousin have a great time!!

Got a chuckle when I saw this online yesterday. 🤣

The anti-labor stopic always puzzles me. In a general sense, historically the "anti-labor" sentiment has been held by conservatives (Republicans), with the Democrats generally coming down on the side of labor. Yet I often hear guys I consider to be fairly conservative be supportive of unions. Makes no sense to me. For me, like with most issues, I generally come down somewhere in the middle of the road. If unions want to organize, good luck and more power to them. However, if a company wants to hire workers outside of that union (and said worker does not want to join the union), then they should be allowed to do that. It's their business. Suppose that's what 'right to work' laws are about. S. **Sorry for the thread hijack! Back to the original topic, I don't give a care if Walmart doesn't want to sell pistols or certain kinds of ammo. Like with any other business, I can go there or not. If they don't sell what I want, I'll simply go somewhere else (These days, likely I'll find what I want somewhere on the internet....).

Yup, and life goes on.... No big deal.

The article I saw on foxnews.com actually states that is going to be their policy across the board, not just Arkansas. (https://www.foxnews.com/us/walmart-alaska-handgun-rifle-ammo-nationwide-end-sales) I honestly don't care if they stop selling hand guns and hand gun ammo. Don't care if they ask people NOT to open carry either. Their business to run as they choose, I suppose..... If they stop selling dove & quail loads, then I might be a little more impacted as that's where I usually stock-up for shot shells.

I'm guessing most of that is county island type of terrain. I know that is the land status with the dairy I hunt. Surrounded by development in the southwest valley, but NOT incorporated. Of course all development is > quarter mile (much greater in our case, due to the fact that the dairy owns a very large chunk of land....). S.

Limits for us, plus lots Eurasians BIG TIME where I hunt. Loads of fun!!!!

Guess I should have prefaced that statement with "In my opinion...". Plus, please don't take it literally. Sort of a figure of speech. That being said, among my dairy hunting buddies and I, we definitely appreciate the numbers of Eurasians! In the old days, we would often be done hunting/shooting doves in under an hour. With the numbers of Eurasians, our hunting enjoyment is greatly extended. We have also gone out 'off season' (outside of mourning/white wing season) to hunt just Eurasians. Lots of fun, IMO.

It's alright. The best thing to happen to Arizona dove hunting EVER should still be flying like crazy! Eurasians!!!! 😉 At the dairy I hunt, we've been killing >50% Eurasian doves for the past several years now. Fun stuff!! Greatly looking forward to Sunday morning! S.

Ugh..... Hate hijacking an original post, but my mind is wondering now. I thought that the points were 'averaged' between applicants when 2 or more put in on the same application??? So if one person has 10 points, and one person has none, that the group application would have 5 points (chances) in the lottery draw??? S.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Oh brother...... Totally missed the point. 🙄

Ah..... Bingo!!! Totally skimmed over that part. I'm going with that, then! (So I can now openly admit that I brought a pronghorn head in from New Mexico on Sunday night. )

Like you, I was kind of assuming immediately, but was curious if there was anything specific about the date published. Ya, I of course know it is about CWD. I also know that it appears it affects elk/deer/caribou/moose (as stated in the article). The article does not specify that the transport restrictions only apply to those species though ("Hunters from out of state may only bring the following animal parts into Arizona....."). The wording paints a broad stroke regarding 'animals'.... Suppose I'll try to find more specifics on the rule if possible, as opposed to just this one article. S.

Curious on the big business thingy?? That being said, I'm also very curious about many of the questions already posed. Is this already in effect??? I hunted pronghorn in New Mexico with my sons last weekend. Luckily we de-bone our meat, but without incriminating myself, I will say that our normal tact would have to bring the head and/or horns along with us too. 🙄🤨 Yikes! S.

+1 Indeed, would always love to see more of THAT!!! Thanks for resurrecting that thread. Good stuff!! S.

Right on, guys!!! I'll definitely check-out the patch in the future! Christian, take note!

From a very experienced motion sickness expert, if you are even slightly prone to sea sickness, do NOT go light on the Dramamine!!! 🤢 Use original formula (or the generic equivalent)! The tablets are 50mg each, and you should take two at a time!! MD's advise 50-100mg every 4 to 6 hours. Go on the high side!! (The only significant warning is if you have respiratory issues, so be aware of that...) I have suffered the curse of motion sickness my entire life. Basically, double the recommended dose on the box is my go-to, and I find it effective. Oh, and drink lots of coffee or you'll be sleeping the trip away! 😂 Have fun, Christian!!!

Good luck and be safe on the roads!!!! 🙏 Will look forward to updates! I'm heading to New Mexico on Thursday for what is becoming an annual antelope hunting trip with my sons. Can't wait!!! 😀

What is the cause? Is it for some conservation org, or something?? I think if I knew what the cause was, I might be inclined to take a chance. If it is just for an individual to profit, I don't think I would enter. Those are my thoughts.....
