No your hunter ID# is different than your hunting license#,

Yes if he ever wants another tag or license in Az. He will have to pay the $8000 and take the hunter ed class.

There are way over 120,000 people with bonus points. From 20 to 26 points there are close to 1900 people. There were 117 tags this year I really don't see how there is ever going to be a great way to allocate the tags.

John's client shot a rifle not a bow and then lied about having permission from land owner. The 1/4 mile rule only applies to firearms; however some cities have rules against discharging either guns or bows in city limits.

It has to be a pre-charged pneumatic weapon .22 caliber or larger.

Pick up a phone and call the Region 1 office and ask for Mike Lopez he is the Fisheries Program Manager for that region.

If true it sounds like AZGFD is targeting landowners who choose to not participate in the Land Owners Incentive program. It certainly sounds like the ones going to be affected are the hunters paying guides who are the only ones able to hunt that public ground by accessing it thru the private property.

Everybody has the same access to wilderness areas I believe the OP stated areas the public didn't have UNLIMITED access would be closed to hunting.

The OP stated the AZGFD was going to not allow hunting in areas that the public didn't have UNLIMITED access,that means the public and the AZGFD don't have access.

On the BA the only predators you can hunt are coyote and skunks

Just put in 4 apps for Antelope and 4 apps for Elk, couldn't have gone any smoother

More than likely this happened in the 20% pass of the draw. You didn't have a low enough random number for your first choice so you got your 2nd choice. The draw then moved on to part two and all the tags in your first choice didn't go so draw moved on to part three same thing so now there are leftovers.

What about Havealina?

Does your favorite archery unit usually have leftovers? If it does I would put in for rifle and pick up your archery tag as a leftover

Yep if you can swing it you should get the paperwork from G&F for a champ permit and go get your buck, if there is no chance of making hunt donating the tag is a great alternative.

You clearly have probably gotten your share of high jumping awards. Take care, Willie Nope, played baseball in the spring never tried track

Wow I didn't know AZGF owns the wildlife? I thought they just managed them???[/quote The state of AZ owns the wildlife the AZGFD manages the wildlife for the state since that head isn't going to be legally picked up it now belongs to the state aka the AZGFD. If the head ends up with the G&F which by law it should the AZGFD would sell it at auction the proceeds from the sell go into the G&F LAW enforcement fund not the states general fund.

Unless there has been a change that I am not aware of , you can legally retrieve game that crosses onto private property, what you can not do is cut fences and such in order to retrieve game. IMO the proper way to handle such a situation of course would be to inform the property owner and ask in their assistance. Crossing onto the Res you Must notify a tribal game officer and show that it was legally shot on non Res land and crossed over, and if you are hunting right on the Border of that Mexico Fence and it goes over Leave it for the scavengers! [/quote If the property is properly posted and you shoot game that crosses onto private land you can't retrieve it without permission from landowner. You can call G&F and they can talk to landowner but the landowner can say no to the retrieval.

Here we go again, bottom line unless that elk died of natural causes it now belongs to the state of Arizona and for those of you who are confused when I say state of Arizona I mean the AZGFD.

I think they will make him take the written test at the field day just so they know he passed the test since he did the online class.

As long as you don't shoot from or across a road you are legal.

Not 100% sure but I think one change being proposed has to do with non-residents. I think they want to make it where 50% of the 10% cap can go to the random draw so tags like the strip can be drawn with no points. Good deal for non-residents with no skin in the game but if your a max point holder your max point tag wait just got a little longer.

I don't think my tiny little tent will be a high priority target but I will be keeping my eye out for any suspicious back packs or unattended vehicles by my camp.
