This is by no means an insult to the guys who suggested this but I'm having a hard time seeing how a change in the current bonus system could in anyway help increase animal numbers. Every other suggestion made I can see how it might help increase our herds but the bonus point system change has me stumped. I would also like to add this hypothetical thought if the G&F does in fact lower the tag numbers and raise the cost of said tags then how long would it take until they raise the tag numbers back up but keep the higher price of the tags? I can see how a drastic increase in tag costs like this could cause more bad than good especially for your run of the mill common hunter that have a hard enough time as it is forking down the cash for a tag at current prices.

What an AWESOME thread! From the write-up to the pics and video everything was top notch. Being the video nut I am I especially enjoyed the video. Fantastic video clip of the kill. Heck of a job all around! Thanks for posting.

Nice! Always good to see the ladies getting out and knocking down some bucks. Body on that buck looks pretty big. Good job congrats!

Wow what an outstanding late archery bull! Would ya take a look at those 3rds! You going to be posting a part 2 soon? Congrats!

Congrats! You did very good on what I consider to be a extremely hard hunt.

Stud buck man! 5x6???? Good luck on you daughter's elk hunt.

Looks like I need to go buy me a lucky vortex tripod. Congrats on the buck and breaking your dry spell.

That buck is awesome! One of my favorites I've seen so far this year. You guys did good congrats.

Being only 3 hours from Tucson you might want to check with the rancher and see if he's OK with you going down and scouting the ranch before you fork down any cash. All the ranches I've been to allowed us to come down and check out the ranch before purchasing the tags. Plus it's also good to drive down before hand to learn the roads, meet the ranchers/locals and what not if you haven't already. If it's a good ranch that's seem like a good deal.

All I have to say is WOW! Chasing down bugles at 92!!! Incredible! Congrats to your grandpa and thanks for sharing.

Congrats on filling your tag. Really enjoyed the video. Lots of great footage most of which was actually of the animals you were hunting and not the usual filler footage of trees, rocks or hunters driving in their trucks. Thanks for sharing!

I for one see nothing wrong with the actions of the other hunters.

First coues with a bow and it's a dandy. Great character buck. Congrats.

Gotta love a spot n stalk coues. Thanks for posting!

Very nice! Job well done! I agree with buffhunter you got to be pretty dang sneaky to get 40 yards from an antelope.

No longer in need of the doubler.

Looking for a Bushnell Elite 2.5x doubler. If you have one available please contact me with it's condition and your asking price. Thanks!

I'd have to say no to a fence. A wall like the Great Wall of China on the other hand would be a heck yes from this non-hippy!

Thanks for the info guys. I thought I wanted to hunt muleys this year but lately I've came down with a serious case of coues fever. O well at least the wife got a coues tag. Now if I can just convince her to let me go with her

Is it possible for a person to surrender or give back their deer tag to the AZGF after doing so would said person now be eligible to apply for a leftover deer tag?

I think I see it but I don't want to spoil the fun for you other guys. On a side note I think I see Bigfoot back in the timber.

Had my bow stolen earlier this year and I'm looking to get a replacement. My old bow use to be a PSE Mach X which I was very pleased with. My current budget is just under $500 for a complete set up ready to shoot. I would love to find a used bow no older than 5 years that has a good compromise of speed and forgiveness. Any suggestions as to which bows I should consider buying???

Thanks for suggesting Archery Talk guys looks like that site has more then enough info to help me pick a bow.

PM's answered. Thanks for the offers guys. I'm not quite ready to buy a bow just yet. I'm still doing some research as to which bow would be best for me. As of now I'm leaning towards the Bowtech Experience but I don't know if I can find one in my price range. I was mainly looking for suggestions really. Anybody have any opinions on the Bowtech Experience?

Very nice! Good mass throughout his rack. Thanks!
