Youth deer for the kids. Any sheep hits yet?

This is from the agenda for the board meeting later this week to be held in Kingman:

IMG_9838.mov Was another hot weekend on the youth hunt, not as bad as last weekend but still toasty! Can’t get dang pics to upload… IMG_9847.mov

Supposedly it all started with a politician’s friend who didn’t like the off-roading and land destruction near Sedona.

Has this already been discussed here? I haven't been able to find the thread. Supposedly this is already signed into law? When was/is it affective? I'm confused because it says you now have to have a drivers license to drive OHV anywhere in the state of AZ, but there are also areas that make is sound like people between the ages of 12-16 can drive but I can't tell when/where that is allowed since in a later paragraph it says you have to have a drivers license? Also, it seems to say that people UNDER 12 can NEVER drive an OHV, which seems to include all off-highway vehicles and adds in dirt bikes. Am I missing something here or do I need to sell my toys my 5 kids are fond of driving? haha 6.

Nice! Way to get after it. Love it up there.

R12-4-319 says right in it that you are allowed to fly up until 48 hours before if the only other hunts going on are special non-permit tag hunts from R12-4-115. Since the elk hunts up there are issued under R12-4-115, it would be legal to do, at least under the current circumstances and laws. Not sure about the classification of the elk hunt back when this incident happened, maybe that is where he is in trouble, I think the elk hunt a few years ago was initially under a different classification and was a draw?

Anyone know how the archery Kaibab hunt has gone? Were guys seeing alot of bucks? Are there alot of bucks in the newer burn that people are hunting or still more action in the old burn up top?

My buddy called GandF and they said radio use is not affected. I wonder who's idea it was to ban hearing devices. Tons of people use hearing aids to hear normally, which obviously can't be against the law, but they are able to turn them up, impossible to enforce sound level on them. I don't see hearing magnification as much of a help, but then again, I've never tried it. If you are in a tree stand you could hear something walking in a little earlier? Doesn't seem like that big of an advantage.

No more Radios???? Have not heard of this even being considered until this moment, and its apparently already approved? That really stinks if so. Loved me some family/friend hunting radio chatter in the back woods when no cell service. Or is this like a listening magnification thing they are trying to ban? "Prohibit the use of listening technology for the purpose of taking or assisting with the take of terrestrial wildlife."

You took my tag! Congrats and hope it is an awesome experience.

It is quite sad and unbelievable that it is completely legal to scout with a plane or a drone 3 days before a hunt(if there is no other big game hunt going on at that time) but it is NEVER ok to scout using a low tech $20 tasco walmart trail camera any more, but that’s where we are. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢
