    Elk hide tanning advice

    I would call around to local taxidermist shops for prices. I have done a deer and a couple fox. Thin skinned animals can be fleshed yourself but elk are so thick the tannery has fleshing machines for that. I haven't sent anything directly to a tannery but they might be able to tell you how to ship it frozen.

    Female Lions

    http://www.sfw.net/data/Deer-Predator-Drought-2012.pdf. Add fire suppression causing thick brush making it easier for predators to stalk deer. The one thing for certain is the 600 mule deer tags for unit 22 is not adjusted for any decrease in the deer population.

    Hopi Cow Hunt

    You had the forest service green truck with the quad in the back? I saw you coming and going in off the hwy a few times. That was probably me you heard shooting opening morning. I was glassing for my grandson and of course, they ran from him to me. Didn't hear a lot of shooting during the hunt. We saw that tornado funnel that afternoon, couldn't believe what we were seeing.

    Crossbows?

    A friend has the Ravin and I've seen him shoot it. It is a 100-yard crossbow no doubt.

    Another Payson Question

    Way back in the 60s it was the place everyone went swimming. I know the tonto is almost a trickle now compared to then because the brush and vegetation has grown from suppressing fires.The spot on the Verde was close to the highway where it turns west. Lost some skin and blood on those rocks swinging on the rope with too many guys at the same time.

    The Trail Cam Celebration

    With all the posts here and the much longer CAPAZ thread, its clear very few are undecided. All for or all against. With commissioner Davis removing any fee increase I think some middle ground should be considered. Would the pro raffle tag group debate items like limited CAPAZ participation on the committee, other ways to raise $ to keep the # of raffle tags low, cap on resident and nonresident entries, no Utah expo events, quality of raffle tags, creating a survey on the portal accounts, guarantee no auction tags in the future and orther points of interest to both sides? Just trying to be real.

    Conserve and Protect (Tags) Presentation at G&F Mtg

    Have you or leaders of other critter groups had any discussions regarding booths at an exspo type event that Pete C. would like to model like the one in Utah?Basically asking if supporters from your groups see a gain from these events.

    Taxes and Trump

    ​An old proverb tells us that the borrower is slave to the lender, and as we continue to spend and build debt, think about who we are getting our money from. The answer is the printing press and China.​​
