Chef

Was a good meeting. I applaud the department (AZGFD) for continuing to put forth efforts into two way communication between the public and themselves. The next open forum is July 9th and will be broadcast online, as the AZ big game super raffle (AZBGSR) drawing is conducted that night. They plan on streaming the open forum on rare occasions but prefer to address the public in person. From here on out, the department will implement a running status report of sorts, that will give updates on things they are working on, that the public has brought up at these meetings. They hope to begin their meetings with this topic, giving updates on things. Topics talked about included: -Amendments requested to the snare reintroduction lingo for trappers -No wake zone proposals in certain areas of Az lakes to assist with fisherman safety -Proposal for a limited otter season -Hunter orange for Southern units -Mexican Gray wolf management -Wildlife Initiatives -Heritage acquired property operation & maintenance -Eagles -Bonus point policy -Hug a Hunter In attendance were six AZGFD employees including director Voyles and assistant director DeVos. Also in attendance were two AZGFD commissioners, Jim Ammons and Pat Madden. So eight people representing the department were present to answer questions regarding everything wildlife in Az. From the public were eight individuals, and only two were not affiliated with a wildlife conservation group. I hope to see more and more people show up. We have some hard battles ahead of us in regards to battling the environmentalists and their agendas.

Hope you enjoy your day Coach!! Happy Birthday!

Hey Phil, did you keep it in the shop often?

This is tonight.

Awesome footage and what a great gift to have the hunt on video!

As always, great to see all the photos and new sheds! Nice to see some familiar faces with Keven, Jim, TJ & Peggy representin'! Love the shed towers...unreal.

Way cool.

Way to go Jaycie! WooHoo! You are well on your way to becoming quite the huntress. You have some great mentors like your Dad and Jimmy to show you the way. Before you know it, you'll have the AZ 10 under your belt! I love the part where you shoot the shotgun and you fall straight back! Ha! Been there, done that. You guys always have a fun time and I am so happy you scored your first turkey. Congratulations again!

Wow! What a hunt! The ranch looks awesome. The views from the ranch house are spectacular and I love how you were able to take trophy photos next to the horse drawn farm implements. Congratulations to all of you on the success. I know you all had a great time. Amanda and Peggy look like they sure did while bagging some sweet birds to boot. Hats off to Darr and Colburn on the hunt giveaway.

Kids are fun. They sure keep us grown ups entertained! Happy birthday to him.

Thanks for the update. Huge sigh of relief for you I bet! Big ol hug to your buddy!

Thanks Ron! 140 grain Accubonds & 140 grain VLD for a 270WSM.

Touché. That's a visual I did not need!

Hoping you reunite with your friend very soon. I look forward to your update with good news.

Ain't nothing wrong with French wine...or yoga pants.

That is one beautiful trophy! As others have said, how unique of a buck!

Love the way your dog even gets in on the action! Sounds like a great time was had.

That's a hog!

I am truly sorry to hear of your Fathers passing. My condolences.

Very nice. Congratulations. Way to get the whole family out!

Can't wait to see your bird next year. Congratulations!

Pretty birds! Love the photo Ike.

Congratulations! I was out too, enjoyed the hills and we called in some coyotes, spotted elk feeding. No bird, but time well spent.

Best of luck Christian. I haven't set foot in 6A for a while but I'm sure someone can chime in and give you some help. best of luck either way!

I have a feeling that Todd will get what he deserves this time around. He's screwed over so many good people that it's a wonder people like him stay in business.
