    2021 Fall Draw?

    Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes and you're probably one of those ones that wait until the last day anyways.

    2021 Fall Draw?

    That used to be when you could apply using paper application. I haven't seen anyone complaining about their portal accounts anymore. I believe the fall draw will be ok and opened within a week.

    You used to could get a companion tag with your Kaibab tag and those tags didn't harvest anymore buffalo than the way they do it now in fact less were harvested.

    Grand Canyon National Park will transfer bison carcasses to Arizona Game and Fish Department at the end of each volunteer/ operation period. Arizona Game and Fish Department may distribute what they choose to skilled volunteers on the last day of their service. Skilled volunteers may share with Support Volunteers. Carcass distribution will not exceed one bison per volunteer team. Any parts not desired by volunteers will be transferred to the Tribal governments of GCNP’s 11 traditionally associated tribes. Both serve the same purpose, population control and in both cases you end up with meat.

    Actually to be considered “beeffalo they have to have 75% cattle genetics, the north rim buffalo have <1% cattle genetics.

    How does this lethal removal differ from sitting over a salt pile in one of Russ Jacoby's blind or waiting for one of his guides to call on a radio and say, hey all tag holders hall a$$ to the entrance of the park the buffalo are in the meadows outside of the park boundary. The only difference is now the buffalo can't hide in the park.

    It's not AZGFD party it is the National Park Service. AZGFD doesn't have any say in how the Park decides to manage buffalo or any other creature within park boundaries.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    There's no way 97,000 hunters in this state use trail cameras and wouldn't send in more complaints about the possible ban it just isn't happening.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    I never once said number of cameras I'm saying number of hunters that use cameras. I can can guarantee you there aren't a 100,000 hunters in this state using trail cameras.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    Lets say 25,000 archery tags sold and lets remember around 3-4000 of those are NR. There were 24913 elk tags and 43970 deer tags. So your trying to say that every single tag holder in this state puts out a trail camera because that would be about 94000 which is your 30-35% of license holders. Now your 10% of 25000 is 2500 and that's probably more accurate to the total number of hunters putting out trail cameras.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    That's freaking funny. So there is over a 100,000 hunters using trail cameras and maybe 2,200 public comments on the ban of trail cameras 😂. Try again.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    Your saying 90,000 to a 105,000 hunters use cameras. Try again.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    There is over 300,000 licensed hunters in this state I would bet less than 2% use trail cameras, I think the average DIY hunter will be just fine.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    How many hunters in this state run trail cameras?

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    How do you know they are using it to take game. Maybe they're part of that group that runs trail cameras because it's great family fun so they use Deer Co Cain for the great picture opportunities. Plenty of poaching that goes on and people get away with it doesn't mean poaching isn't being enforced.

    TRAIL CAM BAN UPDATE 3/17/21

    They seem to be able to enforce the unenforceable bait ban just fine.

    yep, didn't make it out of committee on 4/7/21. The 90/10 isn't dead yet though.

    Unit 27 outfitter

    I believe the Governor set up a committee and they have 12 months to decide. Outfitters and ranchers are lobbying hard to keep it the way it is and of course residents want the 90/10 split. They're also looking pretty hard at a pretty steep increase to NR tag prices. I believe antelope would go from like $346 to around $600.

    Hope you don't have a bunch of Wyoming preference points, they're trying to get a 90/10 split.
