Let me put it to you this way, when he gets a tag he is doing a Euro and selling the cape.
-
My taxidermist and I have had discussions about the value of a desert bighorn sheep cape, he was telling the price for a full cape is upwards of 10k. Hope the tannery makes it right.

You can do it online now

There are mule deer all over. I found these 15 minutes from town in Tucson mountain park a couple of Saturdays ago
-
Just out of curiosity did you have an elk tag this year?
-
Seen two herds today in 36c. I don't have a tag
-
This is down in 36c. I've seen tracks by bison ridge and my nephew saw a cat of rim road as you get into town. I am thinking the guy that shot this got a foxpro and an AR this year and has become a varmint hunter with his new toys.

I did my limited opportunity cow hunt with my recurve. dang bulls kept getting the way. Have some cool cell phone video. Once I found out I got a bison tag, I put the recurve away and started with my compound again. I didnt want shooting to be the reason for me not getting one.
-
Haha,. I wish that was the case. I had a 125 grain broadhead that I've been practicing with for my upcoming bison hunt. Out of the 5 arrows guess which one I picked. Also I think my subconscious was telling me don't shoot you still have four more days to hunt Not the best pic but you get the idea

Missed a 80" coues that was with a another small buck on Monday in 24a. I still haven't seen any rutting activity.
-
Didn't see a deer in 36c today
-
A1 was iced over on Sunday when I drove by it
-
Blue ridge loses to show low in a heartbreaker!
-
Tripped over it while archery deer hunting
-
From my understanding someone was popping off when ar at first light 10+ shots body was still limp. Brother found it this morning
-
I'm going to try some mountain stuff after the late elk hunts are over. Wait for a fresh snow, drive the roads until I hit a track, follow it for a bit and then start calling.

AZGFD Dec 7th Commission Meeting - Education Funding
idgaf replied to stanley's topic in The Campfire
A quick google search of Sasha and her company I would say probably owns Birkenstock. She has the "Arizona Office of Tourism" account and G&F likely got her from there. Its ok if she owns Birkenstocks her campaign needs to appeal moderates and city dweller more than it does to hardcore gun toting hunters. -

Who is the outside entity that is proposed to over see this? -

That helps with the Macro, but will that do anything for the Micro Like Dewey/Humbolt Coyotes? I think without 'boots on the ground' handing out pictures to the cat lady council people of coyotes eating pets, this would have passed with 10 million dollars for marketing/education on Macro level. -
I think the "cool" weather and "New Moon" part comes into play, because the lack of light and cool weather keeps them up in the daylight hours making it look like the rut is earlier or later.

Constructively, lets look at this. Would a 3 million dollar education/marketing fund administered by the G&F have influenced the city council members of Humbolt in any way? What would it take for them to allow the contest again? Did anybody know of this initiative before they voted? I don't think state run education plan would have helped on this one. Once the cat ladys on the city council start loosing there pets to coyotes it may be time to ask the council to rescind the ruling. -

Wow, someone has a different opinion then yours and its an attack on your integrity? I do not question your integrity. I questioned the methods and how hot the fire really is. I am not writing a dissertation on the decline of hunting, I am trying to form an opinion for myself from A) what I have seen and B- what I studied from the data not processed through people with objectives. I may be a fool or I may have 145 IQ and am just asking for the raw data to form an opinion, instead believing the hyperbole you are pushing. Is my ostrich (head in the sand) method better for me than your Chicken Little (sky is falling) defense you are pushing. Right now for me, YES. Also back to the Scooby Doo Question, Are you Don the Bass Guy? The Super Bonus Point is the best idea out there and should be approved. -

I wasn't prepared to get trolled, but I will argue with the crazy guy outside of Circle K once in awhile to keep my wits sharp especially after a couple of Sam Adams Winter Ale. I wasn't Referring to Jay Scott's podcast, I stopped listening to that a long time ago I am not his type of hunter. I was referring to what the AES Guy said at the first meeting and what Pete said in the parking lot after the second meeting. Pete also brought up the Utah Model several times. Would you prefer the word luminaires? I am asking for the source of that data not CAPAZ interpretation of it. Who ran the survey? How many people were surveyed? what was the demographic? what are the geographic influences? Etc. HSUS has there own problems that will deplete excess capital soon: PER thenonprofitchronicles.com "Last week, the Humane Society of the US announced a “reconciliation process” that is intended to heal its workplace. HSUS is inviting “anyone who may have experienced or witnessed sexual or other kinds of harassment, inappropriate workplace behaviors, a hostile work environment and/or retaliation” to share their experiences in confidential interviews with Kate Kimpel, a respected DC lawyer and advocate for women. Aside from the language around reconciliation — it’s not the job of those who have been harassed to reconcile with those who mistreated them — this is welcome news. It’s an open-ended investigation, at last, into the widespread allegations of sexual harassment lodged against Wayne Pacelle, the former CEO of HSUS. His behavior, it appears, enabled others to engage in inappropriate conduct and set an unhealthy tone for the organization; at least three other senior executives at HSUS have been accused of workplace misconduct affecting women in recent years. A fish rots from the head down, as the saying goes. “Women could be preyed on for years,” said Kelly Dermody, a lawyer representing women at the animal advocacy group. By email, Dermody told me that she is pleased by this latest development: “The selection of Kate Kimpel as the outside investigator gives the whole process enormous credibility, and certainly serves my clients’ interests in advancing the mission of serving animals.” Hunters did not show up to some of the council meetings instead of blaming hunters for that: look within, did your group send an email to people in the area saying show up? Maybe its the Hunting political leaders they do not want to follow. Ask yourself "WHY" and "HOW do we fix it" To accomplish "education" the system doesnt need to be changed. G&F needs to hire a savy social media advisor (100K) and get four interns even from ASU (free) This is like the last few minutes of a Scooby Doo episode I have to know if I guess right on who you are. Are You DON the BASS Guy on CAPAZ or Are you that Ponytailed guys wife?
