Agreed!

YEP! Shot at 2, yes two really nice 4x4s and missed! I'm not saying the distance of the shots. If I did I would have to turn in my "man card" 😫 Got rained on and almost got struck by lightning! The Sendero on my back makes a good lightning rod! 😂 thought I was going to die. It was my first solo deer hunt. Had a great time though! Can't wait until next year. Minus the lightning.

If this has been already posted its worth repeating. Spread the word! Action Alert As a result of delays caused by the lapse in federal appropriations, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced rescheduled dates for the remainder of a series of public hearings on two proposed rules-one to list the Mexican wolf as an endangered subspecies and delist the gray wolf elsewhere, and the other to revise the Nonessential Experimental Population of the Mexican Wolf. The Arizona public information meeting will take place in Pinetop on December 3 at the Hon-Dah Conference Center, 777 Highway 260, Pinetop, Arizona 85935 (3 miles outside of Pinetop at the Junction of Hwy 260 and Hwy 73). The meeting is from 3:30-5:00 PM, followed by a public hearing for recording comments from 6:00-8:30 PM. The comment period deadlines also are extended until December 17, 2013 to allow these hearings to take place within the public comment periods on the proposed rules. Let your voice be heard.

Direct loss of big game permits Loss of revenue generated by hunting in rural communities Cost of additional personnel and support to adequately manage the wolf Additional costs to monitor prey populations No program to adequately address loss of livelihood in rural areas No upper target for wolf population numbers Population number identified in the original plan was 100 wolves in the wild. Currently we have no upper population number identified Currently there are 75 wolves, including 20 wild born pups from this year. Either this year or next we will reach the original target goal of 100 No wolf population control mechanism identified to keep the population in check Recovery area expansion comes with huge concerns Wolves in close proximity to human populations Keeping wolves wild? Wolves hybridizing with domestic dogs Wolves decimating existing wildlife populations outside the recovery area by uncontrolled wolf expansion Why not include Mexico in wolf recovery area expansion? 90% of Mexican wolf historic habitat is in Mexico. It is impossible to have a successful recovery without Mexico being included Arizona Sportsmen for Wildlife Conservation is a 501-c-3 not-for-profit organization whose mission is to educate and inform sportsmen, wildlife conservation organizations throughout the state and the public at large on important issues related to wildlife and wildlife habitat and to provide, via grants or other sources, funding to conserve Arizona's wildlife populations through habitat enhancement initiatives. The AZSFWC is responsible for managing the conservation license plate program (Wildlife Conservation Habitat Fund). The fund is derived from the sale of wildlife conservation license plates and member organizations as well as non-member organizations are eligible to apply for those funds.

ThomC, your missing the point here. Read past the logo dude. This is about a public meeting about wolf populations not about AZSFWC. Flatlander is correct! "Sportsmen need to stick together on this one."

Dang! That's cool!

That's a great bull!! Congrats

We have video of her 3 yrs ago. It's amazing she survived this long. Congrats to the lucky hunter!

Nice!! Great article. Can't wait to pig hunt now! Congrats on the publication! That's exciting

Congrats!!! 12 points didn't draw goulds! Maybe next yr

Congrats to those who drew!!!! 12 pts still NO Goulds. 😡

That's what I'm talkin about!!!

Interesting

Be interesting to know if they were male or female. If they were near springs could be the possibility of a large Tom sitting water.

+1

Dang!!! Definitely need to report them. Do you have any big boars on camera? Any fight wounds? That's crazy...

He will continue to do this and ruin other hunts until someone turns him in.

do we have to ask... Please post or I'll walk over and take a pic to post!😜

Dang!! Great binos and a great price! I just paid $1300 for a new set.

Congrats again on a memorable hunt!! He will remember that hunt forever! Wish I could have been there to see you grinning from ear to ear! Nice job! What a great dad! Congrats Braeden! You both killed a deer in the exact same spot this year within feet of each other.

That's a toss up. Either way you don't get enough sleep. Hiking you get up early and return late. Staying up there no sleep from the rock under your bag! 👎😖😡 Since your only going to make the hike once( your going to tag out the first morning anyway) I would just make the hike!

That's great that grandpa could be there too! What a great hunt! Congrats to her on a great buck! Her smile says it all! 👍

That is soooo cool!!! Congrats to the both of you! Great job and on heck of a buck!

It's been a great year! I know 3 jr hunters that had their first deer or elk kill. One of which was my daughter. I enjoy jr hunts a lot more that my own! I love to see the excitement on their faces!
