    Sportsmans Mesa Optics Counter SUCKS !!!!!

    +1 on Gila outdoors. Those guys eat, live and breathe this stuff. A lot of knowledge. I've never looked through the 12's. I am afraid to. I love my 15's and I can't really afford both. I could see how the 12's would be more versatile. Good luck! It's kinda like deciding between the filet and the ribeye though.
  2. A rich man's sport? Median income in AZ is about $48k per year. An elk tag costs less than one day's pay for an average household. And that assumes you work every day for your money. At least complain about fuel costs or something truly exorbitant.

    Elk Draw Question

    It's always a conspiracy.
  4. Game and fish isn't perfect. They went for broad appeal. Who is that gonna piss off? Well, the non-resident that doesn't fish. You can't please everybody. It's no different than most of the things we purchase. I don't use 1/100th of the features on my cell phone for example. They just come with it.
  5. Come on man. You're complaining about "smart" comments but asking how the new tags are affecting everyone? I'd kill to have your problems. They can make my tag out of recycled newspapers if they want to.

    My first buck with a bow

    Great job! And I agree some pics with him in the trunk or on top of a Civic would have been awesome.

    2014 pigs?

    Congrats on your buck! The other guy was trying to pack his deer out guts and all?

    1st Coues Buck and it is a "Dandy"

    Congrats! You may have underscored him. Which is actually more rare than the buck himself! Stud deer, great job!

    What is this?

    That is a shed trap. A lot of guys will leave them up year round and then bait them in the spring. I guess no more corn/alfalfa for their traps now eh? Not much of a trap without the bait. Soccer goal?

    Thoughts on the upcoming elk draw

    According to Hunter's Trailhead you've got a 33% chance to draw the 7 tag. 5B max pts is 23 and at 21 you were at about 3% In other news I wish I had 21 points.

    Advice Please!

    I gotta hand it to you for being able to do that. I would have had a zero percent chance of keeping my cool.

    Thoughts on the upcoming elk draw

    It appears last year there was only a late hunt. Which you would only need 7 points to draw.
  13. You've never seen a giant killed on the San Carlos by a non member? I've seen A LOT! My problem is for that kind of cash why not just do Mexico? Mexico is unreal. It's Disneyland for coues deer hunters. I would love to hunt the San Carlos, but for the money Old Mexico is a no brainer imho.

    Thoughts on the upcoming elk draw

    Airmark, can I put in with you? That's incredible. I know they aren't premium hunts but lets crunch the numbers on one guy having that much luck over that much time. I'm just jealous.

    Auditor says AZ Game and Fish wasted $1 million

    And why do you say the money is corrupting game and fish? Do you think these guys are taking our tag fees and buying houses and cars with it? Money being mismanaged is one thing but corruption insinuates that game and fish is on the take. Come on man.

    Auditor says AZ Game and Fish wasted $1 million

    Well I guess I can agree that there are a heck of a lot more deer in Missouri. That's about it. 100% volunteer wildlife management and $10 to shoot an elk? Wow bud. I think you've got a better deal in Missouri.

    Merry Christmas

    Same to you Doug! Beautiful pic as usual!

    Auditor says AZ Game and Fish wasted $1 million

    Bojangles I don't know where you put in, but I pay $42 bucks for my deer tags. Do you honestly believe that's a huge premium in this day and age? It costs me double that to fill my gas tank or buy a box of ammo.

    How many points?

    Bank on getting lucky for awhile. I haven't looked it up but your draw odds for those units are probably still single digits assuming you are applying for a rifle tag.
  20. Great write up. I'm pretty sure your glassing buddies were screwing with you a little bit with the scientific names of each tree and plant. That would get a weird look from most of the guys I've hunted with.

    My 2013 Rifle Buck

    I'd like to hear the story on the other two!
  22. I have a Berretta Whitewing O/U 12 ga. the same one many competitive shooters use, the one they don't make any more. I couldn't take less than $850.00 Gun is in great shape, a couple of minor scratches but very low round count. PM me if you have any interest.

    Munds usually gets a little more than Flag, but we got next to nothing. Just a light dusting. I would have to assume it's not enough to worry about.

    Arizona Big 10?

    How could you have put in for antelope for 40 years in a row and not drawn? What tag are you applying for? You have to in the max points for just about anything you would want. Just curious.
  25. dang dude. Started a fire and ate right there? That's pretty hard core. Congrats!
