I am guessing that it is not a coincidence that the fall refunds show up the day that the spring regs come out. http://www.azgfd.gov/regs/springregs.pdf

Did anybody else read section 4 of commission order 2 of the 2012-2015 hunt guidlines? I think that will be interesting.

Does anybody know if the vortex or some other off brand tripod adapter well work with swaro 15x56 slc's, Might swaro adapter must have fallen out of my back pack and I don't really want to spend 120 on a new one. Thank you

Yes

I like 1 and 27 because the elk are already cooked

I really like the picture of the bucks shadow, unique and cool

When this was in comment stage everyone I talked to had the attitude that there were to many roads and this was a great thing, once enforcement starts on this there is going to be outrage. I for one am tired of government telling me what not to do.

This is incorrect, they are actually a cross between a coues deer and a chupacabra.

The percentage of kids passing these tests does not bode well for our country, especially the writing section is pathetic.

Hunts over, I made a good running shot on him this evening!

Who is offering the matching?

yea this is why I got rid of my pet alligator

I hope the lady turns out okay, I would have thought that someone who walks their dog from Gilbert to Pinetop could outrun a bear and where was the dog when this was happening, must have been a shih tzu

+1 too much public land! IMO it will lead to more poaching and more accidents! James I go spotlighting fairly often and I have never seen any law enforcement in the woods at night ever. If I wanted to go poach at night I could do that now, if hunters were allowed to legally hunt predators at night when they are most active this would be puting allies in the forest at night and would reduce poaching or at least increase the catch rate of poachers

I doubt the G&F is going to do anything but it is typical for the forest service to close off entry to the burned area for several years to protect the public from falling trees and illiminate excessive erosion due to public use.

I am still optomistic the monsoons will get some new growth going down there that the deer will love and those deer will be easier to spot with some of that cover gone.

Elk occur throughout Unit 11M the entire year. Remember that elk permits are issued specifically for and are restricted to Unit 11M (NOT Unit 7, Unit 7 West, Unit 7 East, Unit 6A, Unit 6B or Unit 5B). Be sure you are familiar with the unit boundaries before going hunting. Areas: During the hunting season, elk can be found throughout the unit, but are in higher densities on the west, south and east portions of the unit. Elk can also be found on the north side however, vehicle access is limited and you will have to pack your animal out. There are higher numbers of elk on the west side along Highway 89A near Forest Highlands and on the southeast side north of Walnut Canyon and south Continental. The area south of the Flagstaff Airport east of Mountainaire is also a good area to check for bugling bulls. It is important to remember unit 11M is a metro unit around Flagstaff and hunters should expect to see other people in the areas running, bike riding, walking their dogs, riding horses etc. Hunters should be considerate of others and realize they are not the only ones out there. Access: The US Forest Service manages the vast majority of elk country in Unit 11M. There are also State Trust Lands managed by the State Land Department are available for hunting by licensed hunters. Forest Service maps for the Coconino National Forest can be obtained from most Forest Service offices in the state and will cover most areas in the unit occupied by elk. Access high points by foot, not by motorized vehicle off road. Be sure you do not enter any areas posted against trespass. Because the unit was designed around the Flagstaff metro are, there are some access problems because of subdivisions and private property. These developments are increasing across private lands. Be sure of your background when making that shot - houses, which seem to spring up overnight, can be obscured by vegetation or rolling topography. If an area is signed posted, avoid that area. Other Concerns: Leave all gates as you find them. If they are open, leave then open. If they are closed, be sure to close them when you pass though them. Do not litter and do not drive off-road when hunting. These two activities are very aggravating to land managers and private landowners. We will cite people for hunting from a vehicle if they have weapons and are traveling off-road in a motorized vehicle. No vehicles, including bicycles, are allowed in designated wilderness areas. There are several vehicle closure areas throughout the unit. Most of the areas are on the north side near and around Mt. Elden and southeast portion around Walnut Canyon National Monument. Additionally, it is unlawful to park along the paved road from I-40 to the entrance of Walnut Canyon National Monument to access the forested areas on both side of the road. It is recommended that you park along Forest Road 303 and access the areas from there. On other public lands and on state land, you may travel cross-country in a motorized vehicle to pick up downed game if the area is not closed to vehicle travel. And remember that camping within ¼ mile of a water source is prohibited.

My family is waiting to go camping but I refuse to leave until the Nevada draw results come out! It should be any minute now! Anybody else here put in in Nevada?

Wow, struck out again!

5B, Game management at its finest From 2007 to 2008 the rifle antelope tags quadrupled In 2008 the harvest percentage fell by 25% In 2009 the tags were left at this level and the harvest percentage again fell by another 41% So here we are in 2011 and they increase rifle tags by 52% I am sure that there are a few good bucks left for now Make sure and take your coyote rifle when you go scouting!

DesertBull did you go for the nanny hunt again? I was surprised that they doubled the number of goat tags in that unit but still only had two nr nanny tags. With only one bonus tag it only takes one 10 point guy to jump ship to gobble it up. Good luck to you

No hits on my card , Utah only looks at your first choice, I don't think there is any chance of drawing an le tag as a 2nd choice so if you look at your email that the udwr sent you can see what your first choice was.

LOL, I don't think anybody sawed off his antlers. My guess is that the 4x5 that you were seeing was this same bull before he shed, and the bull that is starting to grow could be this same bull 4 weeks later. Thanks for sharing.

Used a .45 to stop charging lions two separate times... wow the odds on that have to be amazing... thanks for sharing the article
