Last year 9 people drew tags in the bonus pass with 19 points at 8.49%, not a single person with 19 points drew in the random draw

Wyoming is no different than Az when it comes to their trophy units, I'll use area 57 for example 27% draw odds for type 1 residents. Looking at last year data NR got about 20% of area 57 type 1 tags between the 2 random draws and the 2 preference point draws.

Hoping to cash in 12 points, lot of talk about Wyoming going to a 90-10 seems the residents are getting tired of all their tags going to NR.

Water quality went bad before it quit spilling

Nelson wont be getting any trout this year

I'm happy with my 2014 F150 Ecoboost

Of course starting yesterday no target shooting on BLM, BOR and state trust land.

Was in unit 1 turkey hunting all the lakes on the rez are closed and unless you were wearing a mask you weren't allowed into the store at Hon dah, gas was a $1.69 a gallon though, I heard gas is a $1.55 at the Gap

Fire ban isn't a forest closure. If the only reason you go to the forest is to build a fire stay home and build one in your back yard.

Beacon Fire, 15 acre wildfire near Williams 04-07-20.

It's probably hanging in Shawn Wagners office 😂

I believe so. Also because of the leap year they have to amend a bunch of the dates because they are off a little bit

COMMISSION ORDER 2 – DEER The Commission approved the 2020 deer hunts and permit numbers in April 2019 as part of the 2year hunt recommendation package. The Department is recommending amending Commission Order 2 (deer) to address biological concerns for mule deer in Unit 24B due to effects from the Woodbury Fire and to adjust season dates on some Fort Huachuca hunts to mirror military leave schedules. Unit 24B amendment: The Department recommends decreasing permits from 400 to 200 in the November 13 – 22 mule deer hunt in Unit 24B. This recommendation is based on the landscape level habitat changes caused by the Woodbury fire, decreased number of mule deer observed on survey and low buck to doe numbers, and historical data showing an overall decreasing trend in the mule deer population in Unit 24B. It is also recommended that the December over-the-counter archery deer season close for mule deer; the December over-the-counter season will remain open for white-tailed deer only. This recommendation should help address the low buck to doe ratio in Unit 24B. In the summer of 2019, the Woodbury Fire burned almost 124,000 acres of Unit 24B, primarily in the Superstition Wilderness. It is the fifth largest wildfire in the history of Arizona and burned 2020 Big Game Commission Orders March 23, 2020 Page 3 of 3 roughly 30% of the unit and about 70% of the Wilderness. As seen with other units after large scale wildfires, it is believed the fire will significantly improve habitat which will support increased deer populations. Fort Huachuca (Unit 35A) amendment: The Department recommends amending the season dates for the following hunts to align with military leave schedules. Hunt Type Legal Wildlife Season Dates Amended Dates Permits General Antlered white-tailed deer Nov 13-22, 2020 Nov 20-Dec 3, 2020 100 military General Antlered white-tailed deer Dec 11-31, 2020 Dec 18-31, 2020 80 military Youth Only Any antlered deer Nov 6-22, 2020 Nov 13-29, 2020 20 military dependent Muzzleloader Any antlered deer Dec 11-31, 2020 Dec 18-31, 2020 10 military Recommendation: The Department recommends that the Commission VOTE TO AMEND COMMISSION ORDER 2 – DEER FOR 2020, AS PRESENTED.

If the March 20th commission meeting doesn't get cancelled it looks like the AZGFD will ask the commission to initiate rulemaking to restrict the use of Game Cameras.

50 tags in the bonus pass and 12 of those are NR with the lowest NR drawing with 17. You say only 6 residents are above 12 bonus points drew in the bonus pass and the other 32 in the bonus pass had less than or equal to 12 bonus points.

This is how I believe the draw works. The draw is basically broken down into 3 phases. For starters NR are eligible for up to but no more than 10% of the tags for each hunt number providing the hunt number has more than 10 tags I believe, cow hunts don't count and it is different for bighorn sheep. Now a few years back AZGFD tweaked it so that NR have a chance in the random draw, what this means is now only 5% of the NR quota is set aside in the bonus pass and the other 5% is left for the random draw. This however doesn't mean NR will get the whole 5% in the random draw. Back to the draw. The 1st phase of the draw is called the bonus pass. This basically means that 20% of the tags for each hunt number are set aside for the highest bonus points. For example hunt number 3137 has 250 tags so 50 tags are set aside for the 1st phase of the draw and out of those 50 only 12.5 are available for NR and being a resident myself I hope the AZGFD rounds down and only allows 12. I would think then tags 1-50 go in the 1st phase and tags 51-250 are issued in the next 2 phases. I forgot to mention but in the 1st two phase's of the draw the computer looks at your 1st choice and then your second choice. In the 3rd phase of the draw the computer looks at choices 3-5. For hunt number 3137 it is very highly unlikely to make it to the 3rd phase of draw. In this case it would appear tags 68-69 were in fact drawn in phase 2 of the draw.

If you're talking the North Rim Kaibab archery deer hunt it has been a draw for at least the last 8-10 years and non-residents have been capped at a max of 10% of the tags.

30 was max, 1R and 1 NR 29= 7R and 1NR 28= 12R and 3NR

If 6 figures a year is peanuts sign me up for that circus

As mentioned earlier the kids being non-residents will not be held to the 10% cap if they put in for an antlerless elk hunt.

Try $665 for a non resident elk tag

Now way he shows up.

Dilution is the solution

Except for North of the ditch the mule deer population to me seems to be way down much like every other state in the west but our whitetail seem to be doing ok. From what I see it seems like mule deer get whacked way more often than whitetail during these late archery hunts so I could see the AZGFD making it whitetail only during these late hunts.
