This issue can be massaged from every viewpoint. Point is, G&F see's baiting as a conditioning of animals. Baiting is done.

+++++++1 Burris likely will solve your problem quickly.

Sure is a nice ram, beautiful.

Hunters, ranchers and other wildlife enthusiasts placing salt/minerals could disperse ungulates rather than concentrate them. Natural licks probably see less use due to this phenomenon. That being said, salt is not the issue. G&F has a problem with hunters conditioning game via food.

20 pts. Had an archery tag in the early 90's. I would agree bonus points are overrated till you get to the 20% pool.

Thx for the post. Hilarious!

+1 COOSFAN, I beleive way too many people leave animals overnight. It"s a tough call but unless I'm ABSOLUTELY sure of a bad hit, I follow up within an hour or two. Succullent venison is the most important part of a harvest for me. t

I would agree getting involved at Commission meetings is a good thing. The baiting issue is a tough sell to non-hunters (try it sometime). Eventually, non-hunters will likely determine the future of hunting via a ballot initiative advocated by anti-hunters. I believe this is precisely why the G&F will eventually get around to banning bait.

I believe that G&F is primarily concerned with "food" bait. Hopefully, any rule changes will deal with that issue specifically. Salt/minerals are everywhere both natural and artificial. Let that dog sleep.

Sorry boys, baiting on public land is gone. Even if you stop it this go round, it'll be back.

LOL

Awesome rams, thanks for posting the photo's. Congrats to those who drew tags this year.

Litterbox crowd already stirring it up?

I've observed a Coues buck tending a muley doe in 22. Also saw a hybrid doe hanging with muley does in 22. The hybrid had strange looking tail, big like a Coues but had a dark tip like a muley. She also had a light rump patch like a muley. Her coloration was very similar to a Wiemariemer (sp?). Cool looking deer, this deer was seen near the summit of Slate Creek off hwy 87.

No love from AZ G&F. Leftovers aren't too bad.

Go to the source, call Dillon directly.

I like the modular concept. Pricing is obscene, I thought the Euro was tanking.

Hopefully Lark will return. The man knows his stuff.

Tough hunt. Unless you've got a lot of time to scout, you'd do well to try elsewhere.

Cats are definitely wild!!!!! Congrats to the U of A and their fans.

Cats go wild! Congrats on earning the finals.

Hopefully the cats can stay wild. Suspect they'll end up mild.

It would appear AZSWC has our Governor's ear. Not good in this particular instance. We must keep any bills giving tags away off her desk.

Got the same email. Apparently all the groups listed approve of AZSWC's lobbying tactics. An issue that concerns me is the fishing groups. AZSWC can claim fisherman numbers & organizations when lobbying for hunting issues. I wonder if our legislators know the difference. I doubt AZSWC has EVER lobbied a dedicated fishing issue at the legislature. Fishing groups could unknowingly buoy AZSWC's existence. Do you suppose AZSWC is pursuing fishing groups for this purpose?

Thank you all for your vigilance.
