Yes, they would have to determine which units and species would require a waiting period and which ones would not.

After setting up some cams over the last few weeks on desert water holes, I realized that the dove opener and the archery deer opener are on the same day, Sept. 1st. I finally realized this while seeing all the shot gun hulls around the water tanks. Should make for some interesting confrontations. BTW, dove = flying liver, YUCK!

The last time I went dove hunting I saw 5 guys in a lowrider cruising around the perimeter of the orange grove with guns sticking out through the sun roof. The drive had his sticking out his window and it was a scoped .22! I was hunting where the Power Ranch community, just north of Queen Creek now sits.

I think it is the right thing to do also, but with the new 20% pass rule,I think you are going to see most if not all max point holders draw out in the next two years, assuming they are actually putting in and not just buying more points. The other option would be to do as Utah does and only let you apply for either a deer, elk, or antelope tag. Not all 3. Alot of people that apply and draw sheep and antelope tags only applied because it was easy and cost only a few dollars. They had no expectations of drawing the tag, it was gravy. And isn't it abut time they made rifle antelope tags a once in a lifetime draw? The odds of drawing a tag are actually worse than some sheep units.

I don't sit stock tanks. They smell like poo and are over run with flies and mosquitoes.

What a freaking scam. We've had over a month to get the apps in, if you wait till the last minute, too freaking bad. I just know some last minute rhinestone cowboy with a pink Stetson and a pair of lavender Justin Ropers is going to pull my Kaibab Carp tag and my unit 1 Bull tag too!

OK, we have established our culinary tastes. Does anyone else think that opening the archery deer and dove season on the same day stinks? I just know I am going to spend all summer scouting out the water only to find a bunch of scattergunners shootin the place up on opening day. At least they have to quit shooting by noon and maybe the deer will come into water after they leave or in the evening. I don't want to get into another "Game and Fish s?cks" conversation, but what was the reasoning for moving the archery deer season back?

dove = liver = duck

I'll bet Hannable Lector would like to eat Ted Kennedy's liver. It's been marinating in 100 proof for 40 years.

If you get a chance, check out the video titled Beyond Adrenaline Very well done, very ethical, and first rate production, IMO. The brown bear and the leopard hunt are awesome.

Sad

What are those BIG boxes? Mult-disk sets? Or maybe they are...what are they called.....VCR tapes? My grandparents told me about those things once. They said you have to rewind them?

Having grown up in the mid-west, where almost all land is private, I am grateful for the abundant public land to hunt, fish, camp, hike, etc. That being said, I would rather live in Idaho, Wyoming, Western Slope of Colorado. Too many people here in AZ now. Everythime I mention moving to my family though, they laugh and walk away.

Where from in Illinois?

Tax yes, but it will cut the shipping cost and time. If You want it now, just come and get it! I wish they had been here sooner. The gas it will cost me to drive out there will be more than the shipping cost +tax. That place is going to a nut house on opening day. Probably more people at Cabela's opening day than at the D-Backs and Cardinals opening games COMBINED!

Well, if I can't get the brown bear hunt done, I would settle for an OSAMA BIN LADEN safari.

I have one of my cams on a water tank right now. Been getting alot of pics. I was surprised by two things. 1) The elevevation of this tank is only appx 3,000 ft, yet I am getting about 50% Coues deer. 2) All of the 120 deerpics I got in the last two weeks were all daytime pics. No night time pics. I know the camera is working at night because I got some pics of other things like fox and mice. Two carp bucks. Young WT buck. I blew up the pic and yes, there is a start of antler growth. Hard to see otherwise. The deer stading on the tank facing the camera is also a buck. Pregnant Doe

COMMISSION APPROVES MANDATORY REPORTING SYSTEM FOR DEER, ELK HUNTERS CLAYTON ? All deer and elk hunters, and furbearer hunters and trappers in New Mexico will be required to report their harvest results or risk losing the ability to participate in the next season's special hunt drawings under a new system adopted by the State Game Commission. The New Mexico Hunter-Trapper Reporting System, approved at the Commission's May 25 meeting in Clayton, will improve the Department's ability to manage the state's wildlife and hunting opportunities. Typically, only one in four hunters returned harvest questionnaires under the old system. Under the new system, everyone who is licensed or has a permit to hunt deer or elk must report the results of their hunting efforts by Feb. 15, 2007. Furbearer hunters and trappers must report their harvest results by March 31, 2007. Reporting harvest results will take only minutes by telephone or the Internet. Details will be attached to licenses and permits, printed in rules and information booklets, and available on the Department of Game and Fish Web site, www.wildlife.state.nm.us . License buyers who do not report will have applications for the following season's special hunt drawings rejected -- including applications in the private-land authorization process. Hunters who miss the deadline can still participate in the drawings if they report their harvest and pay a late fee.

Love'em I bought them when they first came out for $699. I've seen them now for as much as $1100.

I can't tell ya the unit, the pics are part of a scouting package for a client. I will say it is not a ranch water. It is a G&F trick tank, which are almost always fenced off from cattle. I had cams on a lot of differnt water tanks over the last 4 years and I can say without hesitation that the deer flock to water that is cow proof. As far as the night time pics go, I had this same camera on a water hole last year and got alot of night pics, so I don't think it's the camera.

Brown bear or Grizz, I'll take either.
