Like I said, divide and conquer. I'm not saying he was rude I'm saying that the G&F ethics committee should not even exist let alone be making new laws for Americans. Maybe some aren't aware of this but trail cameras are not just used by hunters.

below is the response I received Jim Zieler <JZieler@azgfd.gov> Mar 29 (7 days ago) to me, Kent Good morning Chris- Thanks for taking the time to provide your input on the use of trail cameras. I would like to address a couple of comments you made in your email. As far as implementing restrictions without scientific reasoning, let me explain that evaluating the use of trail cameras and other advancing forms of technology as they relate to Fair Chase is a responsibility of the Department and Commission, and one we do not take lightly. This is certainly not a knee-jerk reaction to a non-existent problem and I certainly am not looking for opportunities to implement additional restrictions on outdoorsmen as you stated in your email. I recognize there is some opposition to the rule change on the use of trail cameras but hope you understand this came up as a Fair Chase issue that, due to the advancement and availability of technology, the use of trail cameras to pursue and take wildlife has risen to such a level that it demanded the attention of our Fair Chase Committee. As I stated, we have a responsibility to address these issues as they begin to push the boundaries of what is accepted as Fair Chase. That is how this issue came about. I would strongly encourage you to refer to our website or the section in our hunting regulations called: "Fair Chase: Hunt Hard, Hunt Fair." You will find that there are rules with respect to ethical hunting practices and not giving hunters an unfair advantage. Support of Fair Chase by our sportsmen and the public is important to the survival of hunting and fishing in Arizona. Thank you again for taking the time. Jim Zieler, Commissioner

This absolutely works to divide and conquer hunters, I'm stunned that so many hunters are coming out in support of additional rules that further restricting our outdoor activities. I emailed commissioner Jim Zieler and got a nasty response about how trail cameras are unethical and that I needed to read the G&F brochure on hunting ethics. If our commissioners way of thinking is that anything they don't like is unethical and needs to be banned then the war has already been lost.

This is the game and fish policy not to give out contact info for wildlife managers as they don't want to waste their time with hunters, I have also called and been told this. Also heard on John Stallones podcast he ran into the same thing.

Probably cheaper to buy that sight with more range also. Thanks

Last year I put a peep sight on my Omega but couldn't get the right height to line up with the front sight, after some googling I found someone else had the same problem and had a spacer made to mount the sight on. So I am looking for a machinist that can make something like this or if someone has some other ideas of how I can mount this that would be great.

Humble brag!

If the scratches don't affect the performance I will take it,

I'll take them, I'll send you a pm

I tried to get in touch with the 12b unit manager a couple years ago, the department office first told me they dont give out their contact info. Finally got the guys email and sent him some questions and he never responded. You would probably be better off asking your questions here or driving out there and finding out for yourself.

I never believe the forecast more than 48 hours in advance. Looking now there is not much of a chance of any precipitation on the 10 day

Mine also

I order most of my stuff online from midway or brownells and the biggest barrier is the shipping costs. I always find myself in a situation where I want to order around 40 or 50 dollars in stuff but don't want to pay 12 to get it shipped.

Bonus points are a trap. Everyone has that mindset once they get a couple points that they don't want to waste them on a "lower quality" hunt. With 5 bonus points you are more than a decade away from a guaranteed tag on a strip or late kaibab hunt. Life is to short, burn the points and hunt every year.

I remember a post Jim Mullins made about this and he was saying in his experience that late season elk are more likely to spoil if left over night despite the cold. Their winter coat comes in and even if it is below freezing they can't cool with that thick of hair.

Dropping them in the mail today might yield less than your desired outcome

Anytime I visit a blue state they are full of toll roads, blows my mind what they use all the gas tax money for. I've always heard they spend more money on the enforcement of toll roads than they make on the tolls anyway.

Where are you located?

Beaver

Between the semi trucks and snow plows they have the right lanes so damaged I won't ride in the right lane on the 17 or the 40 around Flagstaff either.

Ok what are the charges?

Looks like this happened a couple weeks ago, is there any update to the reason for the seizure? Crazy society we live in where the government can seize your property without any kind of criminal charges.

The game and fish has made many documented errors with the big game draws over the years. This is just one of many, most no one every hears about.

When Utah switched the oil tags for nr I saw the writing on the wall and stopped applying there. Hope you get your goat tag soon!
