Back to the poacher topic at hand…AZGFD has been advertising all their seized assets to be auctioned. Anyone know if any of this guy’s stuff is being auctioned?

Hippies are generally swingers...might be just your style. LoL

I saw this mentioned in the draw results thread, but never really saw an answer as to whether there was any real explanation (and no I haven't personally asked AZGFD about it)...the bonus points listed on the draw application detail (at least on mine) don't make sense. My points show as zero, which might make sense seeing that I drew a tag last year but I have a loyalty point and a hunter ed point so it should be 2. The other 2 guys that applied with me are listed as 3 points each which might be correct...I'm honestly not sure. The group average is listed as 3 which my math says should be 2 if they averaged 0, 3, and 3. Unless of course mine really counted as 2 and they averaged 2, 3, and 3...nothing about this makes sense.

My points on the portal are correct, but my points in the application detail Look weird. I haven’t gone back to look at previous years to see if they looked weird too.

Same here. I’m not that competitive, but it makes it less fun for me if I feel like I’m competing. not 3D, but have you shot the walking courses at Tucson Mtn Park or Oro Valley? Fun way to shoot random distances in varied terrain.

Every thread here takes off on tangents…sorry for pointing out what I observed in Tony’s “nailing the poacher” on the other forum.

That might explain it, although it still doesn’t really make sense to not include the hunter ed and loyalty points in the points displayed for each hunter but count them toward the average. I’d like to hope that as long as the correct average is used for the draw it should be okay, but hard to know when things don’t appear to add up.

Thanks for clarifying that.

I was hoping the follow-up post would include some (any?) outcome from the meeting...did the meeting happen and was there any outcome? Sorry to read the description of how things have gone and are going, but hopefully something positive can come of it.

Well that's the thread of zingers I meant...after his prediction and calling you an idiot for picking Brady. LoL

Wasn’t it zingers like that caused Tony to disappear here?

It will definitely limit the “huge guide party” hunts with lots of finders out looking…which I assume is the intent. I’m sure others are right and the loopholes will be there though.

Thanks…you too. Going to hunt Big Bo? We’re still deciding…

Same here.

We have a couple first time elk hunters in our crew and one is a kid…more excited to see the kid on his first elk hunt than anything! Can’t wait for that steak too after tag soup for me last year.

Nice…congrats! And thanks for bringing the original topic back into the thread!

100% - I like a little more diversity than "any domestic growth fund" but still 100% on this overall strategy... Enjoy the ride...don't jump off the roller coaster. LoL

This 100%

Kate McKinnon playing her in the new show will be good…

That's awesome...congrats!

I guess naturebob has joined naturegirl. 😁

I wear contacts…solves my issues with glasses. I keep a spare set in my gear at camp just in case. One of these years I might go the lasik route.

Living up to your name?

Dang that’s an awesome draw…well worth the drive back for an early rifle tag.
