    No.  Is it your property?  Do you lease the property?  Putting out salt has to be a normal ranching situation.  Read the regs and it might be better if you dont post it on the internet.    

     

     

     

    Where in the regs does it say that? I havent seen it yet and I just wanna see it in writing, I had a few others reach out and tell me that salt is allowed on public lands, and some even put out tubs and put their own water in it too. So I just wanna get a clear reading of it

    You can drop a mineral lick pretty much anywhere you want. If cattle are near they will use it up quickly.  Its better to get the big bags of loose salt and dig a hole and mix it all in the dirt. Water it in if possible.  Dont know about a water catch.

    Sounds good! Thank you!

    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!

    With this trail camera ban would I be allowed to put a camera in a mule deer area I know from let's say Febuary through July? The area does not have an early OTC archery season, and the first season is I believe a youth hunt in Mid October. So if I take my camera down early enough (July) would that count as "aiding in taking game" 

    I just wanna watch antler growth

    I'd suggest early archery cow. You get to experience the rut some but also get to cut your teeth on elk hunting. Late bull for a beginner sounds like no fun, unless you really know what you are doing. 

    Gotcha! I always wanted to try an early cow hunt up near forest lakes! I ALWAYS find lots of elk there and to just hear the bugles is so cool too! Is there any other units that are worth looking at? Like would unit 8 be an option? Does unit 9 have an early cow?

    Hey guys so I just needed help on what to choose on a type of hunt for a begginer. I would like to be on archery because I just enjoy it more than rifle! But what should I do? Early cow? Save points for a trophy bull unit? Or should I do another late bull and sit water if it's another dry year? Thank you!

    And azgfd is worried about cams disturbing animals around water....sad.

    Yeah. It used to be a huge tank. Like 50 yds Then the last few days it was like a 10 foot puddle. Now it's just a mud pit with tire tracks. Had a small 2 foot puddle and I hoped it would still be enough to have something come in! But no luck for today. I am just going to wait till after next weeks rain and maybe get one after that, right before the season closes

    I was in 37B the last 3 days! It was awesome! 3 does at a tank. Then the next day I had a buck that was spooked by something, run from behind me in my blind. I had about a 30 yard running shot if I wanted to take it, but I wasnt confident i would make the shot so I passed! We stopped at about 80 yards away and was huffing and snorting in all directions for a few minutes then walked away. A few hours later in the afternoon I walked back to where he had stopped and saw scratching marks in the ground and he had peed on a few piles of poop too. 

    This morning I go back there and to my suprise my water hole had turned into a mud bog for some people during the night. Looks like a few got stuck too!

    @UggRedBilly  How did the hunt go??

    I was there for 3 days. Had to cut it short to go on my deer hunt! Saw a bull but by the time I saw him it was already hoofing it. Just a rag horn but still something. Then we got within 80 yards of 2 cows and they had been spooked from us walking too loudly. Was a whole lotta fun! Found a nice shed that scored 64" and saw a whole lotta deer too! I should've sat water knowing how dry it was but I didn't have the patience for that. Overall it was a ton of fun! I am going to put in for elk again. Maybe not a late hunt this time! Maybe an early cow or I might save points for unit 9 early archery! I think that one will be a blast!

    I wouldn't mind all the archery deer hunts going to a draw. Its headed that way. Every year there's a couple more that are draw only. We need less tags in this state. Quality is down a lot lately. 

    What if there was an antler minimum? Like no spikes killed? Maybe even forkies? Would that even help population at all?

    awesome buck and story! congrats. Glad your ok and hopefully everyone else was, even the at fault driver. life lesson for him. A simple accident turned into a felony in a split second. he will regret that one.

     

    Everyone was fine thankfully. Just a little dinged up a trip to the chiropractor or two will fix my back up! We will be going to court to explain what happened on our end soon! I felt bad for them because they were younger than me by far and I'm only 19. They havent even gotten their lives started

    I believe a lot of this issue has come from general hunters going into an area and having confrontation with (guides assuming they own an animal because they have it on camera) so people start complaining enough to get the commission to open comment periods from the public let’s see where it goes 

    I personally don’t own any cameras and don’t believe you should be able to profit from their use.

    Yeah I agree. I never seen any guides do that BUT I do believe you and believe it happens. It's a bad thing to do for the sport
