Is the draw hit going to look like this?

The Second Amendment Foundation, and GOA are far and away better than the NRA. That said I personally donate to all 3, they each have their niche jn support of gun rights.

Is that where the extra 17,000 applications came from? Or will they issue extra tags? *Edit: Sarcasm was intended here because of the extra/switched votes issues with Dominion and the last election. I understand where all the applications came from, sorry for my bad joke. NOTE: Dominion Voting Systems, please don't sue me for defamation, I voted for Biden 1.3 times on dozens of mailed (not absentee) ballots - I am on your side!

There is place that posts on Craigslist Tucson that sells that stuff (tables, benches, etc.) and also said they buy logs / wood. Think they were around Oro Valley, but going off memory. *Edit: Found it, look up "live edge furniture" on CL and you will see their posts. I have not personally done business, but says it's local / family owned.

I read it on the internet so it must be true.

I think NM charges on application & then does the same thing. They might start getting more of my business than AZ, even though I am an AZ resident... I think their lack of bonus points is also a plus

Wish i knew that a few weeks ago when i saw one in the field. Never use cams so never even looked up the regs. I am assuming it was a cell capable trail cam, had about a 6" antenna poking out the top.

Does NM charge your card at the time of application and the refund you if not drawn? I think that's what I read but wasnt sure. Seems like that would solve many of the card issues in AZ. I personally had card fraud between application and draw dates last year for elk so my card was canceled on draw day. I tell myself it probably didn't matter but will always wonder if I missed a tag.

Yep, and earlier too. Here is my great-grandfather's Winchester 1894 that I have now. Serial number says build was circa 1907. My family said he got a decent number of deer all around the Sulphur Springs Valley in the first half of the 20th century. They hunted up to Willcox, over to Bisbee, down to Douglas and all around there. Dos Cabezas and Mule mountains I think are the two ranges on either side. It's old enough that it is marked 30 W.C.F. instead of the newer, more common 30-30 marking.

Doesn't the course for AZ still require a field day though? That is the part I would rather avoid with 0 scheduled field days per AZGFD and no end in sight from this Covid restriction garbage. Especially with me living in Pima county full of idiots, the Tucson mayor already said she would keep the mask mandate and curfew even if the state gets rid of them. Unfortunately the Pima County board of stupidvisors is just an echo chamber for whatever Tucson wants down here. I was more interested in whether I could submit my previous certificates over to the AZ G&F (how?) to get the bonus point put on my draw application.

I am curious, if I have my hunter safety certificate from another state, what do I do with it? Do I need to mail, email, fax to AZGFD? I actually have two from two different states, think I can get a double bonus? 😉

I agree with this sentiment. Since I started hunting in AZ at 37 y.o. (after being in the military since I was 21), I just figured Bison, Sheep and Pronghorn were a waste of my time since I wouldn't get drawn for any until I am 70+. I have thought I might start putting in anyway, my daughter is 6 now, so maybe I can gift her a tag on her 40th bday!

maybe I know less about the points than I thought.... How do I go check those? FYI, I have no porthole account. I honestly put in last year for elk for my first time in AZ, but had a fraud on my CC about a week before the draw. I had to turn off the card so don't know if I was drawn or not (I also don't know if I was drawn with the card turned off, would I have gotten a point if the card declined the transaction?). I know it would be very rare to get drawn my first elk application, just something I have thought about since the last draw.

0 here, I get drawn every time. 😀

Sounds like my IT department at work. If your computer aint broke already, they will fix it till it is...

Here's the actual vid, for any of those aforementioned liberals: Edit: Seems like I might not be able to post youtube links. Just search and you will find it, I recommend duckduckgo over the other search sites.

They all seem to conveniently forget one's like this:

*EDIT* FYI, I was contacted by AZGFD and they were awesome about the whole thing, I really appreciate the time and explanation given to me by the officer. A few key points for any of you interested: 1. If you find a bighorn skull this fresh or fresher, please do not move it and call them to see if they need to come check it out before you remove it from the field. They need to investigate any animal that might be a poaching incident or other unlawful circumstance. This would also apply to a deer skull or other dead game animal that you might come across in the same or fresher condition. 2. AZ law does let you keep bighorn skulls after they determine nothing illegal happened, but there are many other states that do not. AZ does not plug or mark natural death skulls the same way they would for an animal taken by permit, so you may get in trouble if you take one to another state with different laws. 3. So after all that, I get to keep my find. Awesome! *Original Post*: So my hunt this year in unit 28 was a bust, but I did fine a nice skull. Pretty sure it was a lion kill since a leg was close by also and it was right near a big cliff. Just a few miles out of San Simon, in the BLM wilderness I found this on Monday afternoon. Kind of made up for the skunked hunting trip around Woods Canyon & Doubtful Canyon. I saw some deer there, but the hunting pressure was high and the only buck I saw Friday morning was gone after a crew of weekend hunters showed up and started hanging out 50 yards from the water sources in the area (I was watching them from 500-750 yards off). Anyway, getting it cleaned soon to keep in the collection, saw some other bighorn sign in the area so was really surprised. Posting up here since I probably won't hunt there again, but definitely don't hunt anything other than deer.

They told me it was "young" but didn't expound on that. Also said that the apparently chewed off nose was common in kills by mountain lions, and they also look at other signs of death if more of the animal would have been left. Estimated date of death was 6-12 months ago. He did say that the bone structure inside the horns was porous and held a lot of moisture so that it was sometimes hard to estimate how long ago it had died.

So I called and got a message, emailed customer service today. Haven't heard back but they are probably busy with the season, I will wait to do anything to that skull until I hear back. Hope they get back to me soon, looks a little gruesome and is stinky as-is.

OK, thanks for the heads up, I am happy to call them if needed, and I took pictures with my GPS so they are tagged with location, condition, etc. I took some of the skull and later of the leg where it was sitting.

Where are you at?

My thought exactly.

What's with the Walkstool logo? I can't tell what the heck is on top of the legs???

I figured right now is the worst time to try and sort an account issue so might wait a few weeks and try then.
