    Trail camera rule changes!

    I swear on God and everything I love I dont steal. Especially out in the field. We all share the same hobby and passion for hunting. Why ruin it for others

    Trail camera rule changes!

    Personally I dont have an issue with cams at all. But from what I can tell from others, the main issue is when there is surveillance across the entire unit almost at all water sources just for 1 group of hunters or a few outfitters. That obviously isn't fair chase! I think that the adverage joe with a few cams isnt the issue at all. It clearly is those outfitters who try and cover the whole unit with cams. I am also aware there is trophy opportunities in every unit. I seen some nice ones near phoenix! But by the time the season comes around those deer can be in a completely different spot. Which is why it is good. I think the cameras can benefit more than hurt if they are used as a season. Like monitoring antler growth, sometimes predator rates in areas! But I believe a season is the best way to fix that abuse of cameras. I would be lying if I said they weren't abused and I'd be lying if I said I dont understand why you guys were against it

    I'm saying most the problems are caused uo there. A huge majority of them. I've been to a whole lotta units and never seen issues other than up in those premium units for elk or deer. Scouting in unit 10 was a mess too. Also no I am saying people are stealing cameras. It's just sarcasm. A lot of what I am saying is. Even the seasons comment I first mentioned. I mean a season is nice from February through july. Because not as much of the popular bug game is hunted. I think the only exception is turkey javi and bear right? But I would really love a season because cameras are really cool! Like just for pics of animals. I just got one of a moutain lion dude! Really cool! I'll share them soon if you're curious. I dont wanna use them as a hunting tool. I used it for my bab deer this year to locate animals. But I'm not sure the locating part is really for me. I enjoy more of e scouting and putting boots on the ground! But the images and just being able to see them is just really really neat to me. That's why the mean a lot to me

    Well if an abundance of cameras being out during deer and elk seasons isnt the issue what is? Because all I saw was you guys bashing outfitters who had all these cameras for these deer and elk units during season all these stories on how they block off areas and there is fighting over water holes. Take away cams during season and it's a mystery and gamble for everyone. By the time most these seasons come around the deer and elk will have moved from their summer range anyways. But what's the issue? Is your favorite squirrel hunting spot being taken over by outfitters and their darn cameras? Did you loose your chance on the HUUGGEEE 250 pound javi? Yeah I highly doubt it. A season is a great compromise and easily enforceable. You see the camera take it. That simple. A lotta folks already take them anyways! I bet some of you are pros!

    Well the issues lie with the premium elk units and any unit north of the big ditch. It's not an issue as much in most others. I dont think people are posting cameras in the "premium" javelina unit with the prime genetics. That isnt the issue. Most of it lies within elk, deer and maybe bighorn in a few cases

    If you see any camera out of season take it down. It's not like they use seasons to determine when game should be taken. Or is that too hard to enforce as well?

    I love the idea of a season! Easy to enforce and great for hobbies!

    Was if for or against cams? Because if it was against them they dont seem to be responding to anyone. Which is messed up. Everyone's input matters so they make the best choice

    Res vs NR Archery Deer

    Dang that's a nice buck man! Keep it up!

    Points Question

    It is just an estimate. Usually hunt odds dont change super drastically from year to year unless it's when a newer hunt gets noticed. It does help a lot though! Especially when it comes to an APP strategy! Just paints a picture on what you ca roughly expect! They are still extremely accurate though! That .2% of a chance difference from each site doesnt matter a whole ton anyways. Your name is still put into the hat anyways!

    Points Question

    I have been applying for deer for about 7 years. But elk I've applied 3 times ever. I just bonus point this year because I am going to be moving out this summer and I don't want to stretch my money out too far!

    Points Question

    Lance is right on the rest of it! The bonus pass is 20%. But go on youtube and look up Randy Newberg explaining it! Makes it a whole lot better! But to answer your question YES you do have 5 chances at the tag pretty much! Because even people with 0 points have the single chance to get a tag! 5 points can get you any cow elk hunt in the state if you're talking 5 points for elk. Or you can even get a late rifle bull tag with 5 also!

    New Hunters

    I personally gotten 4 of my friends into hunting. I encourage it. Unfortunately it can make it tough but things are changing. Would you rather the liberals get to these people who havent hunted ,or us? I wouldnt doubt if the OTC archery went to draw tags for NR but I imagine one day a whole new draw structure will be made too. Some states make you wait after you get a harvest for a few years. While other states make you put in for either elk antelope and deer, OR moose, moutain goat, and bighorn. Itll be hard at first, but it is for the better!

    Elk Draw

    Yeah it sucks man. Like usually there is some issues and phone lines flood the last few days. But this time is just a mess. Might need an extension for the due date on the apps

    So...who's gonna win??

    I got the cheifs winning! But I really want the Bucs and Brady to win! Itd be amazing but the cheifs are just a whole other level. The Bucs secondary is trash

    Best mule deer taxidermist.

    Mr. Goldman is amazing! I dropped my mule deer off a couple months back! The man is more than a taxidermist. He is an artist! Look up his gallery! Amazing stuff!

    Building a water catchment

    Hey guys! So this Thursday I wanted to go out and try to build a water catchment in an area near by! Recently I had one of my favorite spots was used as a mud bog and I wanted to try and take that out of the equation. I saw a few forums in the past around 2010 asking the same thing and it was legal then, so is it still legal on public land? Also would I be allowed to drop a mineral lick? I do not intend on hunting this spot, more of just a hobby to get cool photos of deer, javelinas, and even cardinals (pretty cool birds out there). Thank you!

    Building a water catchment

    I have a new spot that is walk in only! Great place! Just not allowed to put cameras there because its wilderness/preserve
