Anyone dreaming about a CHAMP hunt on the Kaibab better draw this year because it will be the last.

10 points for next year

Who's going to go watch the movie Granite Mountain?

Look at the 2016 draw reports.

Go to the AZGFD web page, click on hunting and then hunter education. It will list the available classes.

If it would have been an AZGFD employee this thread would be 15 pages already. Lol

Send me a PM.

Just heard on Fox 10 that fire was started by off duty Border Patrol agent recreational shooting, oops

The list will come out when AZGFD releases the draw results to everyone, according to the regs first come is by mail only April 24th.

Russel tank in unit 9 is full and actually was stocked with trout, I believe the last time it was stocked was 2005.

I could be wrong it certainly wouldn't be the first time but I believe point guard is only available to applicants who apply online, and I believe you are correct that point guard is only for successful applicants.

Technically the AZGFD never banned baiting, if you want to go pour 50 lbs of corn out in the forest it's perfectly legal, what they did ban was the act of taking big game over an edible substance. From what I gathered from the commission meeting they aren't looking to ban trail camera's just the take of big game within a 1/4 mile of a trail camera. One of the commissioners asked what if somebody shared a picture with someone from their trail camera but the owner of the trail camera didn't hunt it what would happen. AZGFD response was they would make sure the language for the law would cover all bases and both parties could be cited for take.

The 1/4 mile law only applies if you don't have permission to discharge a firearm or soon to be bow and arrow from the occupied structures owner. If there are that many locals that hunt that close to their homes just get permission to discharge your weapon, then your fine.

What were some of the rule changes proposed? One change had to do with trail camera's, I didn't catch all of it so I'm not sure if it was within a 1/4 mile of a trail camera being near water or a 1/4 mile of being within a trail camera but your weren't going to be able to take wildlife near a trail camera. Another one that caught my eye was it looked like they were going to make archery fall within the 1/4 mile of occupied structure rule just like firearms. Those were just a couple.

Just watched bits and pieces of the commission meeting, looks like there was at least a 10% increase in applications this year and the presenter said they weren't quite done processing all the paper apps yet, also some very interesting proposed rule changes coming.

I thought there was a rifle in the spring time. 03-24-2017 thru 05-04-2017 general nonpermit tag, 2 sow harvest limit. Unit 31

We've had 3 tags in 6 years in our house.

Can you explain what squaring the bonus points would do?[/quote 5 bonus points would give you 25 random numbers where 3 would give you 9 random numbers in the draw so although only 2 points difference now would get bigger and bigger the more points you have, if that makes sense

In the bonus pass and the 1-2 pass the computer looks at your first choice if you have a low enough random number you get a tag if your first choice is full they automatically look at your second choice if there are tags still left you get one if not you go back to the draw for the second pass where you are reissued a new random number and they do the whole thing again. Yes, I understand that's how it was explained on the video but I thought 20% bonus pass was per hunt number, is that not the case? Yes it's per a hunt number unless there aren't enough tags to make 20%, also doesn't apply to bighorn sheep and possibly buffalo. Someone could sneak in a higher demand hunt on their second choice as long as they made the bonus pass on first choice? I could be wrong but I believe the computer looks at both your 1st and 2nd choices to make sure you have enough points to get in the 20% pass for both hunts.

$50,000 reward for arrest and conviction with over 36 wolves shot..... come on.. nobody has that good of friends. The first time they try and convict somebody a DNA test will be demanded and that will be the end of the hybrid program. Your saying that 36 wolves have been shot and not one conviction yet? On March 6th and 8th 2000,James Rodgers from Eager, Az. and a juvenile were charged with the killing of a wolf pretty sure james was convicted but I can't find the punishment.

Our illustrious game and fish doesn't have the authority to declassify any endangered species only the federal government can.

IMO that big Indian reservation from 3 points to dang near Ajo may have a say in a wall being put up on their land.
