IMHO, probably the best way to handle "checkerboard" land access is for the state to charge a current/low rate for accessible parcels and a substantially higher rate for inaccessible parcels. I don't see this as punitive, after all the lease holder has exclusive use and control of an inaccessible parcel.

Wet vacuum is your friend. Relatively easy task providing a replacement pump is available.

Outstanding weapon, both function and appearance. GLWS

I'd like to see the money go to appropriating right of ways to landlocked public lands.

Agree that it won't stay at 6 tags. Lots more revenue to be harvested without harming the resource. I'm good with it to a point, that point being it's always a lottery that anybody can enter and no more than one entry per person per tag.

Got spanked in 13B. Beautiful country and I'd like a rematch but very unlikely.

Good work!

Not illegal. How images are used could be illegal. I think AZGF is hoping people will stop hanging cameras.

Actually, I don't think a 1000 guys running around any unit is a good idea. The scenario you describe will play out south of the river. Unit 23 in August for example, has recently been a "horrible hunt and experience". OTC/threshold archery deer has/will become be a "zoo" experience.

Threshold method is a short term solution IMO but I think its worth a shot. We shall see. It would be nice to see all the units revert to this methodology including the units north of the Colorado river. If it a good idea why not?

The commission went overboard IMO. His wife is probably studying for the guide test as we speak.

Beast of a ram! Congrats.

AZ's population going from 1.5 million to 8 million+ and growing is a dang shame. AZ is the only western state in our vicinity that does not have a draw for archery deer. OTC deer is toast, if not now soon.

Threshold idea sounds good initially. As thresholds are met, remaining open units would likely be overrun. Time to go to a draw for archery deer. Maybe do OTC permits for traditional archery (no wheels, no sights).

It is really tough when not seeing sheep for days on end. You finished very well, congrats on a really great ram.

Wish I had read the instructions more closely. Used my sportsman's ID # for so long it is habit. Suspect they will dump the sportsman ID # in favor of the new customer ID# in the near future. Suggest everybody document their bonus points.........

I knew UofA football was a joke when Dick Tomey was fired. I was right.

Outstanding ram!

Store and maintain 10 dozen decoys for 3+ years waiting on another tag ...... Locate where cranes are feeding, beg landowner(s) for permission to hunt his/her land. Being that tags are few and far between, hiring a guide makes perfect sense. Pass shooting is OK but dusting decoyed birds is where it's at. Lot less wounding too.

Six tags for 3 species is insignificant in the big picture. Hopefully tag numbers will remain low for the app fee harvest by AZGF. I'm in!

The intent of this "loophole" is to get young people in the field. Tag transfer is a family deal with transfer only going to minors. I am all for tag transfer within families but suspect this young lady drew her own tag. Hope this family has an amazing experience.

Congratulations on an outstanding first deer. Great smile too.

Nothing finer than a sheep hunting expedition! Good luck and safe travels.

Got a Gould's tag in my realm, likely my sweetheart drew but you never know. 31 or 35B.
