nothing personal against anyone here. just wondering if people could post if they were for or against the ban. I am against it. I was looking for a simple yes or no. sorry if i rubbed anyone wrong but i will say i am AGAINST THIS. what do you all feel? a simple YES or NO. somebody needs to set up a poll on this site like "azot" to do the tracking I'm 100% against any more changes from g-f. They have done more damage the last 3 years then any any other time i can recall in the 35 years i have lived in az. we all know 2 years from now they will be looking to take 50% of our sept bull tags and put them in nov. since mr. lenard took our g-f over from tice, there have been a sure outlash from them to slowly take away our rights.elk tags, rifle dec. tags. archery tags,moving all seasons,dates,and now baiting, were does it end? there was a ton of $'s spent by our az. sportsmens club to fight and keep us informed. they need our support. it is time to stand, join our clubs, "wcc, elk, deer,az.bowhunter,bear, hoondsmens, preditorcallers,antelope, yuma rod-gun, desert christian archers. there are many more out there. they are only as stong as there membership and there members going to the meetings and showing the g-f. that we are there paying customers,without us they are no longer needed! if baiting is banned, I would think there is 10-15 million dollars loss spent in az alone, " gas, wear, tear of trucks, buying all the needed items for baiting, just my 2 cents. mike

I'll see you ther!

poor little kitty that is an awesome month of hunting.

thanks gino!

what time are you boys going to be there? mike

we freeze dried for 1 year plus used velvet tan.

we will also be there at the " Desert Christian archery booth", except saturday p.m we'll be at the Az. bowhunters banquit.

Noel, I with you! I am also 35 and 3 generation, I have had only "2" bull tags and my dad only 1 bull tag he has finnally given up with over 20 years in the draw system.

this is very interesting.. does anybody know total # of bow tags sold, compared to rifle tags sold, I'm very supprissed with how high the success harvest rate is for rifle hunters and also archers,thanks mike

well said! it comes down to when do we draw the line, move our elk tags to nov, decrease our dec. rifle hunts, In the works, draws for archery deer. " the only harvest report that is mandatory,ex, bear,lion,sheep. "but they still want us to send a surrey card back." I wonder how many hunters can truley sit in a tree stand for 6-10 days dark to dark waiting for a buck to come by. then when he does, you have to outsmart his nose, hearing and sight just to be able to pull your bow back, this is after sitting in 20 degree weather for 4 days, your feet are cold hands numb,your arms are soar trying to pull a cold bow back feels like 100 pounds from not moving over the last 8 hours. oh ya you left 2.1/2 hours before dark, walk slowly to your tree stand as not to sweet. sit in the dark for an hour tell sunrise, only eating small amounts of dehighdrated food all day, arriving back to your camp an hour after day light. ...........................ok it is opening morning rifle deer nov. arrive at top of hill 10 min. before shooting light, sitting with your back to the sunrise 15 x 56 on a tripod over looking 2 miles of awesome coues country. 15 min. later spot 100" buck 500 yards across draw, no problem, extend harris bipod over 300 win, with ski 12 x 15 scope ready out to 600 yards.. whack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pour little buck 500 yards away never had a chance............ this is why this effects bowhunters. were not talking apples to apples here, everyyear it is something new. what they need is hard data of all big game to show facts of actual harvest, just my 02 cents mike

can you post a picture and a price here?

were on the 9 band wagon for archery. 19b arch lopes

That euro looks sweet next to the " putter " nothin better to have c.w. on the screen ! looks like a great job and the turn around time to get it was awesome.

Erik. that is an awesome ram for the unit that you hunted. sounds like all the effort you and gino gave paid big dividends! it is always great to hear that even the auction tag winners are down to earth and are great people and not just a $ throughing machine trying to impress people they don't really like anyways... again, that is a great accomplishment to your hard work! a true lifetime ram. mike

yes there is 2 of us. well we been trying archery for antelope since 2000. at this point I want a tag and with us finding out so early we can do our homework. I know the 80"-90" buck are seldom now, but are you still seeing many 75-80" bucks on the fain? in 19b I know 2 spots that are still accessible, I hope...... since the apps are in

we have 10 points this year with 2 of us putting in. looks like we may also be getting close. what was the 19b and 19a results if you don't mind. thanks, mike

save another $400 and wait for the sale on the euros. they are the cabelas top line of binos, I have them and they are real close to the ski's.

you can enter that great buck in bowhunting in az. the min is 135" there is a link off this site on the main page.

well come on over I need to make room for the addition!

89" gross 2 1/8" ded.

I'll be right over! just were was I suppose to pick it up from again ... now if I can get those trees to produce $100 bill

doug that old tree has been good to us in the last few years. I think we have taken over 10 critters "javi's , coues and a coyote. when you find something working ya got to stick to it and share it with good friends. mike

man oh man looking at that last picture what do we think, $20k in horns laying on those ramps ..............a great buck for mexico

dedication has done it again! the new streak has arrived. with a bow that is an awesome buck! mike
