Like akaspecials said there are plenty of goats in the Pines too

I expect they keep equation for that ratio real simple. Number of animals harvested divided by number of tags issued. Example 20 animals harvested divided by 50 tags issued equals 40% hunt success. The biggest variable in the accuracy is probably what % of hunters for each hunt complete their surveys. If you start taking other variables into account the equation would get real complicated real fast. How many hunters did not hunt at all? How many days did each hunter hunt? Did some hunters use archery or muzzle loaders in a general season? How experienced was each hunter? What was the weather like?I still can't quite understand why they don't require mandatory reporting. I mean it seems like it would be pretty simple to require each hunter to return their unused tags or something similar.

This year my brother and my cousin both drew that tag too. On separate apps! I can't wait! Definitely has the potential for some big bucks. I can't seem to find a picture of my dad's buck from 09 but I'll get some pics of the mount this weekend.

I've got three moultrie GameSpy D50 and one moultrie GameSpy D40. All work but the GameSpy D40 has a problem with the date/time stamp not working. One of the D50's I cut part of the top plastic to fit in a home made lockbox. The fourth cam is at my brothers house that's why there are only 3 in the pic. $100 for the set of 4

I am just guessing here. They may make them available to organizations like Hunts For Heroes. If an outfit like that does not have a taker they probably destroy the tag. I do not expect they have a process to re-issue them to the general public.If they issue a set number of tags based on how many animals they want harvested how does it make any sense that they would just destroy the tags? If the hunter had the tag and did not hunt or the hunter turned through point guard and the tag was not re-issued the end result is the same, no hunter in the field. Tags being drawn and not used is something that has always happened before point guard. They issue a given number of tags, they estimate a % will be filled. They do not expect every tag issued will always be taken into the field by the hunter.And don't forget the PETA loving, anti-hunting hippies. They apply for tags, then shred them if drawn. Their way of saving Bambi.Well that hasn't changed from past years that's already accounted for in the success rates

The tags in the archery unit I applied for first choice didn't change to account for it.

Some pics from the D40 cam from last year.

If a 30% rejection rate is true the problem is probably the AZGFD system. We need to send a few people from AZGFD next door to New Mexico to take lessons. They do not have that problem over there. They can run the entire fall draw for all species at once and get it done in 1 month.This is an awesome solution to the problem. Several states take the cash up front and it's done. Don't have to worry. Then you have the side that pisses and moans about having to pay the upfront fee for the tag and then wait for money to reimbursed if they don't draw. Here's a hint if you don't have the money for the tag upfront or in your account get a job or two so you can afford your hobby. That is the problem with society. Every state in the west I put I put in for in the west takes it upfront. Most have it back in 7 days if you don't draw. Minus liberal ColoradoI've always been told they can't take the money first in AZ because of a state law regarding credit cards and not being able to charge them without the customer recieving a good/service. I'm all for being able to provide a second card as backup when applying.

In the past have they released draw results before the expo?

Take 6 D Batteries. I explained any issues in the original post. They're probably around 7 years old.

I believe they can be used with the moultrie external batteries but no I do not have the external batteries

Any tuning issues? According to the charts you are a bit weak on spine. I have the same shafts and length but my draw weight is much lower due to several (3) surgeries on my shoulder. I'm currently working my draw weight back up and was just curious where my limit might be with these shafts. That is what I thought. At 70lbs should be 340's but if it works go with it. My bad it is 340's. It's been so long since I've bought arrows I barely remember haha

Easton axis 400 spine with 100 gr. G5 Montec, 28" 70 pounds draw weight. I believe it chronos at 280 fps. I've shot two elk, one at 25 and the other just over 30 with both being full pass through double lung shots.

I've got the cabelas euro hd binos so I know meopta is legit. I was able to find plenty of info on how the s2 compares but not much on the meopro and how it compares to the non hd ats

When I hear stories like that I seriously wonder if the person lost track of which choice they put that hunt or made a mistake and switched two hunt numbers when applying. As far as I understand there are no early archery tags that make it past the 1&2 pass of the draw.

Interested in any trades? I've got a zeiss conquest scope 4.5-14x50 mc that I'm getting ready to post

Think state government not federal.

I thought Farley pulled this?

She's gonna have a hard time topping that buck! Congrats!

Right because the odds for drawing that tag would be so much better than drawing the raffle tag. You're talking fractions of a percent different.

It says developed or point water

I have the euro hd 12x50's and I couldn't be happier. I just wish I had bought them at the sale price!
