beautiful mounts! congrats on an archery speed goat!

We had an awesome time in Texas, truly a fun place to visit and hunt. I was lucky enough to shoot this 19" blackbuck antelope. Thank goodness for some coues experiance, I used the treestand set up after learning the ranch layout, trails and acted if I was hunting coues deer and this monark met his match as he had no clue I was there waiting...

I will be applying...

must be carma for all your time away serving our country!

just more points..... some day

so what happens like many of us that never put a 3rd chose in for lope due too all tags gone in 1st & 2nd rounds, will they allow us to add a new 2nd chose before the draw? By them removing a 1st or 2nd chose "19b no longer" G & F should be entitled to allow all applicants to add a new alternitive hunt number.

Beautiful euro!, the game room is looking great!

I also pre paid for some books, When I called them, they told me they had a few issues and the book was delayed. I was told they are planning their banquit this summer to give the awards. The book should be sent to all that pre ordered around the 1st of April, as I was told. I have their other books and am looking forward to having the new one.

really?? Have you thought this through What you are saying, it is also ok to ban baiting for fishing... No More No more CORN for all types of fish, worms for all fishing, minnows for crappie, power bait for trout, anchovies for stripers, no catching shad for bass, no more catching sunfish for flatheads, no more stink baits for channel cats, Where does it end............... Have you seen all the talk from the non fishing ainti-groups, wanting to stop fishing? don't be fooled every time something is removed it is one step closer to being just a something we used to be able to do.

Hopefully, this information may be somewhat useful as you consider this discussion. The many different views posted in this thread are not unlike what the agency has heard from the public. Baiting has many benefits and challenges, but in addition to public input, the Department also tries to weigh the risks documented in the scientific literature. Salt was not going to be part of the proposed baiting ban last time. I am not on this team, so do not have first hand knowledge of their discussion currently, but as I said, it will be public and should not catch anyone by surprise. Watch for the rule review report. Rulemaking may or may not follow. Brian Wakeling Game Branch Chief Arizona Game and Fish Department Thank you Brian for your time, Can you explain what "benefits and challenges baiting" has specifically for AZ? What documented, “risks in the scientific literature” that have been performed specifically for Arizona big game animals? Can you also explain, All we have been told, preached over the last 8-10 years from the Az. G & F is “hunter recruitment, retention.” Many have us have adopted this philosophy and support this movement. Now the Department want to take away a key element of hunter retention by taking away a type of hunting style, method. I know most people think this is strictly a bowhunting deer issue for certain units, but we all know this is a multitude issue for all types of hunters. Many youth, disabled hunters and new hunters will be affected by this type of rule change. As the Department has seen over the last 5-10 years tag application numbers continue to decrease due too many options to spend limited dollars. All these type of rule changes affect your Departments philosophy on “hunter recruitment, retention.” Why would you want to eliminate more future hunters or existing hunters from a decreasing sport? Thanks, Mike

Plus 1 I am against any new law that is given without true facts stating an impact. All "assumed" numbers of actual harvest of how they were taken." based on a 20% allocation of rifle tag success, when they use a return survey card that is about 40% return rate of successful hunters." Without making all big game mandatory harvest reporting, we are only guessing what the true harvest numbers are.

try the primos eclipes blinds, very good for the $129 they charge

Marv was the best turkey hunter I have met! Glad to see that someone is still running his business!!! This guy was the greatest Turkey Hunter in the southwest!!! Yes he was,He is missed dearly!
