we know $$$$ are important on any draw decision - especially offering more tags in areas / un its that have show limited # of available animals to tag due ti]o over tags the last 8-10 yrs but it still continues . we need a waiting period of minimum 2 yrs if you are successful in the draw . you would still be able to buy bonus points for those waiting yrs - this way G&F isn't loosing application fees and when u apply the 3 rd yr you enter with 4 bogus points 2 u paid for plus loyalty and hunter ed. if the went to a 3 yr wait -- it would easily rotate some 100,000 hunters getting drawn - it would completely eliminate the 10- 12 bogus points to get drawn for elk deer etc. and also improve odds on other species. way too easy to be considered and the tags would still sell out every yr. -- if not there might actually be more leftovers which is great for those waiting - who would also be able to apply for leftover tags

looks like point water source -- examples BUT NOT LIMITED TO SEEP OR SPRING -- HERES WHERE IT CAN MEAN ANY TYPE OF WATER - ANYWHERE WHICH COULD INCLUDED PUDDLES FOR WALLOWS

Sorry to say - looks like we may have a problem for the first time in many many a yr. anybody here on cwt ?

any inside pics ?

already mowed yard 3 times this spring - all grass no weeds - no wood piles -- I used a granular bug killer in yard - but I know neighbors yard was knee high weed jungle - came home to crap everywhere - who ever did the yardwork for them used a friggen blower and I had a layer of their yard crap everywhere on deck on pool etc. never has ticks before now pullin 8-10 or more daily off my one old gal- no blotted ones getting off her- she sleeps inside - only out to do her business was hopin to get ahead of tick cycle - sleeps on folded furniture blanket pick up shake off - no ticks the exterminator deal is like 250+ with 2 backup sprays - hoping maybe anybody knows someone good - if this continues

numerous guys with tags 2-3 yrs in a row - sitting with 7 points elk- would like one more archery bull tag before I get to blankity blank 70 yrs old figure take at least 6 more yrs at this rate 19 blankity blank points for antelope and first timers get drawn - I know luck of the draw - just SUCKS as usual - let someone else have my draw luck for a few yrs !

i'd like to see how they scored it to get the 223 - very cool unique buck !

It's probably just me but - think this will only increase the # of cameras in the field - Now they will be putting them 360 * on every trail leading to the catchments / tanks . putting them up in spots / seeps in the desert that only hold water for a limited time anyway - no harm no foul - they are not generally easy to access anyway these spots aren't really checked very frequently - I've got to agree with the "proving intent"- lots of people just like to get pictures there are problem areas to be addressed but generalizing everyone putting up a camera and then saying its aiding in the harvesting of an animal is BS. this hurts everyone

its gonna be a new law ! so lets make sure that words like passive camera and point water source have a defined definition in the regulations so there is no misunderstanding exactly what they mean -- including the officers in the field !

the way they worded it - how many definitions to "passive"- and how will it be defined by different wardens and what are they really trying to say ? this is a done deal - get use to it just like any past decisions - one can voice all the comments before hand during the due process - to no purpose

a lot of G&F information about wildlife comes from trail cameras - which they bait an option to a ban is limiting the # of cameras a guide / person can use in the field - all cameras must show currant information as to owner etc . no more than 1 camera per hunter at any given tank or same location on a side note - it does SUCK when you are hunting / sitting water and a guy comes in at prime time to check his camera

I had a jime .380 stolen from my vechile - was recovered and returned but has never shot the same - they most likely used highvelocity hollow points - barrel is basically shot out . they are just cheap guns but nothin I can do - not anxious to really test it out

got to remember we had a bit of snow - so most likely elk were on the move towards winter ranges this yr . winter range areas are available on elk data info at G&F also remember they will like /use the sunny edges of canyons/ ravines / mtns off the rim areas for travel as well as bedding if you can best guess where winter beds are - that'll be the most productive antler drop areas along with winter travel routes

hate getting dehydrated / physically exhausted while hunting / scouting - can get the TERRIBLE thigh leg cramps - will cause a grown man to literally SCREAM Seems I can never carry enough liquid while hunting - had a couple first timers on different desert hunts - - whenever I drank I told them too - also - reply - no i'm not thirsty - made them take few swallows anyway they thanked me later great hunting there - couple nice piggys

I've resolved to makin jerky and pulled piggy this time around - I got a piggy with absolutly no holes or wounds to the body - guy made an astounding cut throat shot with grim reapers - bleed out in 30 yrds - great easy trail to follow but if u decide to go to camp verde !??

one can google --- the list films shot in Arizona -- it will show every city - click on a city and it'll show every film - 100's -- way too many to list here so you can just pick a town - looks like every town in Az had at least one film made

nice shootn

"MY Darling Clementine" John Ford Movie - Greatest western of all times Filmed in Monument Valley - which they call Tombstone in the Movie -- Henry Fonda As Wyatt Earp- Walter Brennan as Clanton - Victor Mature as Doc Holiday - Ward Bond as Morgan Earp

It's great to see the low desert tanks all full - this is normally called dry tank as it never has water - maybe once every 10 yrs you may find a little water or see where it had enough moisture to grow some weeds plumb full this yr. with more on the way Going to be a great yr. to draw a tag . or just go hunting

Purchasing an online license OK - Son finally moved back to Az 1 yr. Ago- long story short version Why is the NON-Resident the default on the online box under residency while getting son's department id # I missed changing it to resident I filled out elk - antelope - with claiming 1 yr non military resident when I printed out license it - states on the right License/stamp # - class under that it shows -- HA 878888 Res Hunt but on the left side resident shows - NO dept# id (null) I'm hoping it's as easy as change it to the proper- resident and reissue same license # on the applications - the charged me resident fees using the license # printed on license why is the default non- resident instead of resident -!????? I'M sure this a mistake that is fairly frequent when applying online I hope I'm not the only Putz around whom happened to miss it ! I need to make the trip on Monday to see what can be done ! so the printed license shows both resident and non resident !!??

I'd be interested in the 45 -410 if you break up the set - depending on price range
