Yes, please!!

This is a second, separate raffle, if I'm understanding you correctly. I just jumped back on this thread to announce the latest one rather than create a new thread. But you are right, I dropped the ball on posting the last lifetime combo license winner and the last round of 31-day gun raffle winners. I could make excuses, but I'll just own that I dropped the ball. I'll get them and do my best to do better at posting them up here, especially with all the support our chapter gets. With this raffle, we'll be giving out two scholarships to two high school seniors ($1800 and $1000) at our banquet next weekend, so we greatly appreciate the support. Thanks for holding me accountable. Sincerely. Fyi, I'm sick of snow. We're well over 7 feet cumulatively at our house so far, with up to another 12-15" on the way tonight/tomorrow. I'm sooooo over this. We've run out of places to safely put it all!

Following. Islamorada is extremely high on my bucket list. I have friends going to Key West for spring break. I can ask them where they're staying if you want. I guess it also depends on where you are planning to stay.

The 31-Day Gun Raffle winners should be posted on the AZ State NWTF Website and I think we posted it on our chapter's FB page. With all the snow we've been getting, I honestly lost track of posting winners. I can certainly get the whole list of winners for the 31-Day gun raffle, though. You'd know if you got the draw. Our RD would have called you. He runs that raffle and does all of the drawings for that one, in particular.

Bump. About 50 tickets left

Not sure how I missed posting this sooner, but we're having our annual NWTF banquet in Flagstaff March 4, 2023. Doors open at 5pm. This is the 50th anniversary of the NWTF, so there will be lots of great commemorative firearms and other cool NWTF swag. We're only selling 200 tickets due to space limitations at the DoubleTree, but its always a great time. Get tickets asap so we can get an accurate meal count. Hope to see some of you there! https://events.nwtf.org/30020-2023

Bump. Still time to get tickets and have a great time.

One of the main reasons I want to go back to AK is for the freshewater fishing. I had a 35-lb class king salmon on and it broke the line at the boat after bouncing out of the net. It was too far in the spawn to keep, so it would have been catch/release. That was up on the Susitna River out of Talkeetna. Of course, my wife lander her 25-lb class king (also too far in the spawn to keep) and never lets me forget. I need to go back and get my king, but want to also go after dolly varden, char, and those fat rainbows on mouse pattern with my fly rod. I'm almost more interested in those than going after salmon again! I've looked a few places up in hopes of a return, so holler at me if you want me to dig them back up for you to look at. If you don't still have my cell, let me know. Pretty sure I still have yours!

I thought they were pulled due to concerns with violations of the 6th Amendment. Interesting.

I've also been filtering away from Vortex for the same reasons as everyone above. I've had some great ones that have been dead on with everything and I've had to send a few back and still didn't trust them. I'm selling a brand new, never mounted Zeiss V4 3-12x56 that was a warranty replacement for an older Zeiss I had. There's a post for it in the classifieds, but PM me if you want more info directly. They're $950 brand new and I've got it listed for $800 obo.

When we ordered it to specs in early Dec 2020, she was adamant she get a standard again.

I tried, man. I tried to use it.

I keep cleaning out the garage and safe, as well as upgrading gear. I realized that I have a handful of posts of stuff for sale, so I’m posting one, concise post with everything. Prices are listed below with each item. In Flagstaff but will ship on buyer’s dime. Will also be in Scottsdale 23-25 June and can steal away from family gathering to meet up. Wyoming Saw used once, but I only got about a quarter through my daughter's elk before I lost my patience, packed it up and went a different route. $15 3-Arrow Quiver. Never seen the field, only range time and backyards. I don't remember the brand of the quiver, but its a 3-arrrow off my daughter's old bow. $15 Apex Tundra 3-pin bow sight. Lightly used on my son’s bow. $15 Hornady 12g turkey loads. $15 Leupold Dual Dovetail 1" High rings. $20 Leupold Dual Dovetail 30mm medium rings: $20

Heading from Flagstaff to Pro to Gilbert tomorrow (BPS to Gilbert via 101/202) if anyone wants the turkey shells, quiver, sight, or rings

I don't recall off the top of my head how long the waiver lasts, but there is still a waiver beyond the original 90 day requirement to complete the field days for online students. The demand is extremely high, while we just don't have enough instructors to put them on. I know we'll ramp up online field days in Flagstaff once the snow melts and it warms up. Keep checking the website or keep in touch with me if you need anything. I probably owe you a favor or two by now!

I would hope they'd listen, but I think some of them are happy to see the HE program go. I hope I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure there are some of the higher level folks that want to see the HE program disappear because they don't see the need and because they see the profit generated from the Ethically Hunting Arizona/online bonus point program. This is pure speculation, reading between the lines, and somewhat from hearsay, so take that for what its worth, but I've been involved with the upper level of the HE program for a few years now, sitting on the Advisory Committee. It really seems like the Dept, as a whole, along with some of the commissioners, just want the program, as it stands, gone.

Bump. Will be driving to Bass Pro Sunday morning and then driving to Gilbert to see some family. Can bring it with me.
