Wildcats be getting the chit kicked out of um.
-
If your referring to Fogle, not a U of A grad, Indiana University.
-
Have you ever tried fishing oak creek down by Page Springs Hatchery? You can fish directly behind the hatchery,also the kids might get a kick out of seeing the fish at the hatchery.
-
Unless something changes 3-17-16 at 11:59PM(MST)is the deadline to update credit card info.

Wildcats lose again
-
thank you.i get so fukking rustled up when people say "rasied 400K for AZ wildlife!!" no, raised 400k for AZGFD. what they do with it is another story im sure Go to the AZGFD website, click on the hunting button, next go to big game draw and click it, scroll down until you get to paragraph about the auction tags and then click on the Habitat Partnership Committee. You can then read about the 2015 projects that the auction and raffle money pays for.
-
Not sure what your hunting but archery pig season ended the 21st and archery deer will close after today until August.
-
It sounds like the nice lady at AZGFD doesn't know what she's talking about. According to the draw if the license you used to put in isn't valid thru 02-09-16 which is the deadline to apply you may be screwed.

Go to www.azgfd.com, click hunting button, then click big game draw, then scroll down page until you get to learn about big game draw and bonus point process, now click on the bonus point process. You will now see the 2015 fall draw, 2015 elk and antelope and the 2015 spring draw. Make sure you have the 2015 regs on hand, so you can get the hunt number for the 6A archery hunt. You will now want to click on the 1-2 pass since 3 points will not get you into the 20% pass. You now should be able to see how many tags were awarded in the 3 point pool.
-
That is correct. It gives everyone in the random draw a better chance whether you're residents or non residents. The ones that get screwed are the non resident and resident max point holders.I don't see where resident max point holders are going to get screwed it seems to me residents just got another 5% of the tags in the 20% pass.
-
If your talking bald hill you can forget getting away from hunters.
-
Many many people having same issues. Since it seems g&f think javelina are expendable maybe they will just give out extra tags dor dolks they left out of draw. No need for extra tags there are plenty of leftovers
-
The regs say first come accepted 11-30-15, so my guess says results and leftover list out by Wednesday.
-
From September 1st thru March 31st there is no limit on rainbow and brown trout, it's the same at blue ridge and knoll. 6 trout limit from April 1st to August 31st. Fairly sure AZGFD will continue to stock Nelson in the spring as soon as the lake quits spilling.
-
Years ago you were able to enter the draw and Mark a box saying issue me a license only if I'm drawn; however that ended after the law suit and AZ started the you must buy a license to apply for hunts.Yes if you have your buddies info and he wants a leftover tag you can fill out the app put in his info and get him a leftover
-
This is exactly what AZ has written minus the quarters or other portions of meat part of rule
-
The way I read the rule, bring the meat boned out or cut and wrap it. You can bring the head back it just has to be free of meat or brain tissue, or bring the skull cap free of brain tissue.

Better off leaving the trailers behind until it dries out, couple days of sunshine makes a huge difference.

I have no problem hunting elk late season. Currently I hunt Idaho starting on August 30th, and the bulls are just starting to get a bit antsy at that time. Later Sept. is better for rut, but personally I like being in the woods opening day. Thanks for the heads up on the Nov. hunt, I will study the regs and get with you guys when I get down there so I can take advantage of your knowledge on the draws, etc. As mentioned, a buddy of mine here is WA has been hunting North of Prescott for several years with good success. I look forward to getting boots on the ground! One question I have is do you have grouse? And if so, what type and are they legal to hunt? We have Sage, Blue, Ruffed, Spruce, etc. in WA/ID AZ. does have blue grouse but I have never harvested one, the White Mountains and the Kaibab are the 2 places I have seen them, have also seen chuckars around jump up point on the Kaibab.

It has been a few years since the lawsuit, I can't remember if his first name was George or not but his last name was Taulman from USO out of Taos, NM. He sued the AZGFD over the 10% cap and it was during the fall draw when it was still for all species. The draw had already occurred and a judge overturned the 10% cap. AZGFD rather than redo the whole draw went ahead and gave tags to the NR who would have drawn. There were some big names that were awarded tags, I believe Jim Zumbo and Jeff Foxworthy were a few who got tags but if I remember right they didn't accept them, anyways it caused a huge stink in the west and I believe a senator out of Nevada spearheaded a legislation change at the federal level that basically gave the states the right to manage their wildlife how they see fit. The up to but no more than 10% cap was reinstated. It was soon after the AZGFD started the public input process on some changes the biggest at the time was the change that you had to purchase a license in order to apply for big game tags.

Sound like too hot of a load if you are getting sticky bolt lift. Be very careful.Any other signs of overpressure, like flattened or catered primers, case head swipes, ejector marks, brass flow, etc.?The reloads are the minimum powder load, not sure on factory but buddies gun doesn't have issues with the factory loads.Books give you a reference. Only your gun can tell you what it likes. Depending on brass make and content, I have had way over pressure from the same loads I always run when it is hot outside, and when using Federal brass or military surplus brass for various chamberings. The more brass content, the less case capacity. Meaning less room in the case=more pressure when fired.There are other possible issues that can lead to over pressure. Bullets jammed or touching the lands of the bore, high ambient temps, different powder charge or different brand or lots of powder themselves. Tighter chamber cut, not all "SAAMI" chambers are cut exactly alike, either from a factory or a good gunsmith.I weigh each case and discard any that are out of spec. I like a 2 grain max difference in brass content for my rifles myself. Something like 124 to 126 grains for each case, or 171 to 173 grains, etc. Mixing different brands is bad. So if you load some Winchester at 160 grains of brass content, Remington at 170 grains of brass content, and Federal at 185 grains of brass content, and size them all with an FL die, they all have the same outside case diameter, but thicker walls equals less case space inside the brass. Bad for velocity, accuracy, and pressure. I have found up to 55 grains of brass content difference in .25-06 cases between 7 brands/head stamps. Winchester, WW Super, Remington, Federal, Frontier, Hornady, Nosler. Nickel plated cases make a difference too.Depending on how you weigh each charge, you can easily get discrepancies in charge weight. A powder throw can miss a charge weight by .2-.4 grains. My Hornady electronic charger/scale is off sometimes up to .2 grains for a 43.0 targeted charge weight. I individually weigh each charge on my RCBS 5-0-5 beam scale for this reason. If you set an auto charger for a certain charge weight (say 50.0 grains), they are good to read within ".1" grain. But they also have an error factor of .2 grains easily. Meaning you can be at the low end of your charge and be at 49.75 grains, or be at the high end and be at 50.25 grains. A .4-5 grain swing is bad for accuracy, and if your max pressure that your gun likes is at the 49.8, but you are getting some at 50.2, that might be enough to cause overpressure. Go up in charge weights, the error factor goes up too.Add a slight overcharge of up to .4 grains, a case that has more brass content/less capacity than previous cases (whether from brand changes or just batch or machining changes), a powder that is temp sensitive (and you did load development in a cool month), higher ambient temps, a bullet that is touching the lands, and a tight chamber, and you have a recipe for a hot load very easily. You might not even know about it.Just spit balling here. Thanks

Question about hours and pay as a salaried employee
654321 replied to PRDATR's topic in The Campfire
In 2012 one of the governors biggest pushes was to make state employees an At Will Workforce, meaning all employees would eventually become uncovered employees. In order for her to pass the budget for that year this had to happen,so effective September 29th 2012 all state employees a pay grade 19 and higher and all supervisors immediately went uncovered and any new state hired employee from here on out are uncovered. Any employee that was not a supervisor or less than a pay grade 19 could stay covered but if that employee ever changed their job status then they automatically become uncovered. Law enforcement being the exception. If employee chose to stay covered they are never eligible for a pay raise.
