Frank Pollard. I have a question for you and Todd. I've heard and read many stories that frankly make Todd look like a crook if you take their account at face value. If I were made aware of someone making these kind of accusations about my business I would address it at every opportunity to share my side of the story. I believe any honest ethical person would do the same. It simply does not add up that you never hear his side of the story. There is no possible way I would ask a friend of mine to defend me on a forum like this one, or anywhere. Unless I had something to hide. It's inconceivable that a reputable businessman in good standing with his clientele would allow "slander" or "libel" to continue in this way. His reputation as a business owner is at stake. Certainly he can clear the air and explain what happened. Especially if he did nothing wrong. Can you not understand that anyone doing a simple google search would determine the guy has a lot of people pissed off at him? Why are they all pissed Frank?

There's also nothing wrong with pursuing a big buck. It's just like shooting a little one, except it's better.

bigorange, why wouldn't you just purchase a duplicate tag for $4? or whatever they cost. I should know how much they cost, I've bought one or two.

Hi Amanda, I will take one of them if one is still available. I can pay via paypal or check or whatever is most convenient.

Whichever one you buy, the +20 rule that was mentioned is a good rule. If it's rated for zero, don't plan on being warm if it's zero!

That has to be the cleanest 9 year old quad ever. Wish I had the cash.

Yeah they update that site every 3 years whether it needs it or not.

There's a huge f$#$^&& difference! Strapping a camera to a tree on a trail or flying a camera all over the mountain looking for game, not much of a difference?!! I really hope you're kidding.

what's the draw length and where are you located?

That is really really nice! Now we just need to shoot some birds!

I use hunterstrailhead.com. It's about $25.00 per year for the subscription. A forum member did the math himself and helped out a lot of folks on here with draw odds. That's both very impressive and gracious! hunterstrailhead has the math done for guys like me with less time and less brains.

Ok. You can figure out exactly how much difference it makes on any hunt in the state. It is not subjective. The only variable would be more or fewer applicants in the new year compared to years prior. It is your luck of the draw. More points gets you more chances but that's it. I have horrible luck so I have to wait until I'm max points it seems.

Bonus points are not a crock. Aside from being in the max point pool for a hunt, each bonus point is like a raffle ticket. Just because I have more tickets than you do, doesn't mean you won't draw while I stay home. What do you mean a crock? Its not perfect but its obviously very misunderstood

+1 on the Hornady's SST. I have shot a few deer with this round and was very impressed. Having said that, I would recommend buying a few different ones Federal, Hornady, Fusion and see which ones hold the tightest groups with the same gr. weight. Every gun is different.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately your auto insurance will not cover the bow or any stolen items. Your home policy will, but subject to the deductible unless you scheduled it. I hope the scumbag gets caught trying to sell it.

So you mean post what we assume we got, got it! I think he means for those that only applied for one hunt and got hit.

Gotta be kidding me! Great job!

I own an independent insurance agency. I would be happy to answer any questions.

Gila Monsters are just awesome. I feel really lucky to have encountered quite a few. As a teenager I tried to corral one into the open long enough for my friends to have a look. The hiss he gave I will always remember! Great pic!

Congrats! Did you say .338 Lapua? That is a serious gun for piggies.

That's really nice! If I am ever lucky enough to tag a big bruin I hope it turns out just like that.

Becker you make a great point. They waste too much money. Ok. How do you propose they manage the funds they have more efficiently so we all can pay less? The figure of $1 million wasted is indeed a very small percentage of their budget. Did they do it intentionally? Some would say yes. I would suggest it was probably mismanaged. In other words, they are inefficient. They are a State run agency! What government run agency isn't at least a little inept? The proposal to have our wildlife managed by the private sector is laughable. Although I'd love to hear a proposal.

I own an insurance agency and we insure a lot of recreational vehicles. It does appear to be pretty high. Safeco and Progressive are very competitive in AZ.

I really like them on my 15's. I feel like I can press my eyes in more comfortably. Be careful though, they come off rather easily. I recommend keeping extras in your pack or the original eyecups. If you lose one, you're done without them.

My card got hit, but only twice. I talked to them this morning and they called me back shortly thereafter. She said if you got a confirmation you are definitely set. The extra fees will be reversed within 2-10 days depending on the bank. She apologized and was very helpful. I know you guys don't want to hear that about G&F! Good luck in the draw everyone!
