I got a tag

Everyone that is the slightest bit upset with how long it takes g&f to handle the draw, should boycott the next one.

Trout creek on the WMAT would be ideal for you

Wouldn't it be cool if they didn't release them until April 22 with no explanations? I think somebody might die.

The only thing the poindexters that work in the I.T. department hunt for is their pocket protectors and Star Wars action figures. Ha.. Pretty big generalization right there... I work in IT and don't hunt for pocket protectors or action figures. Funny though

I just watched a few turkey shows on the hunting channel (bird not host). Just curious if a jake/gobbler decoy helps or hurts?

Guido's off of shea and Scottsdale northeast corner. Corleones is another solid choice. Barros is good but my preference is for rossatti's.

Great buck congrats to the hunter. Not to derail the thread even more but I have talked to SC Game and Fish and WMAT Game and Fish bosses and in casual conversation the topic of steroids (and radio collaring) was mentioned. They both hinted that other Roided up their rez's elk. There is definitely alot of pride in each's elk herd and a rivalry that us non tribal guys have very little to do with.

Bill, In your opinion were Merriam's elk ever here and if they were, were they native or transient? Fred

So in you're guys opinion do decoys for the most part help or hurt?

Thanks for the info. Do you ever use a single hen?

I have a sales call to Safford scheduled for a week from Monday. I will give it a shot that afternoon will advise on the outcome.

Stopped by last week to recon it. No one was talking, I saw one guy fishing for cats doing pretty well Picture from the dam

I love the irony in that, me, the worlds worst turkey hunter could potentially have the state record Rio just from the lack of options. I do have several animals to enter when i am not lazy

Honestly, I hope she draws. That would be an epic introduction to hunting

You do know you can only legally hold 3 shells right? if a cop didnt see it, I didnt do it. I got the cavasback and the drake when they circled around

^^^^^I opened my oversized mouth on here and coincidentally the nice lady from g&f calls me today wanting their money. I will learn to keep my mouth shut someday, I also find it amazing how easy it is for them to collect when its there money and how hard it is to collect from them when it's my money and their mistake

I had no issues with the spring draw. I got a Rio tag and did not have to pay for it.

If you go a little farther south, there is a bunch of them its a place called Chand-lar.

A friend of mine won the raffle tag a couple of years ago. he hunted every month of the year, I specifically asked him which month was the best. His response surprised me a bit, he said February. Bucks were looking for Does.

A few years ago on one jump shot pond, I took a wood duck, two pintail, a canvasback, and a drake mallard. I did not know what I accomplish and mesquite grilled them all. I also took a rossi goose the next year and it suffered the same fate. A friend of mind who is ardent duck hunter told me I am not allowed to skin a duck until i get his permission

I was about an hour or so early for a meeting in Safford so I decided to stop by and see how it looked. I stopped by the store and saw a couple of snow birds getting gas for their boat. I asked how the fishing was and I got "shhhh we are catching 16" crappie." Back to topic, if you want truly large browns, go to reservation or Hawley with the largest swim bait you are prepared to throw. More than once I have seen 10-12" trout jump on shore to get away from these predators. Of course that would defeat the elitism of fly fishing. Imo I get more pleasure out of a pink/red meated salmonoid fillet than I do watching it swim away. Although I have done both depending on circumstance.
