27 minutes til the deadline

I see what you did there John.

You can probably guess who it was based off his yellow toilet business in the background.

These were the two pics WMI central had posted.

I saw it happening on my way to showlow that morning and they posted a little about it in white mountain central website for a little bit. It definitely happened. Now just have to wait and see all the little details.

It's right around the same as last year. Don't think anyone is paying 15 a pound unless it's craft grade perfect stuff. Averaging more like 12-13 this year

It's not about his collection. It's about money. But I'll wait til the official stuff comes out. Lots of guys involved. And I'm not one of them

Haha hey I've told my dad three times to get it and he keeps forgetting. The mule tape was for him but I guess he isn't needing it as bad as he claimed. I'll get it this week for him.

8:20 AM

Surprisingly she stays nice even after probably receiving hundreds of calls from guys like us annoying her to death. She deserves an award just for having to tell people results won't be out til April like 500 times a day.

I didn't have him aged but from judging off his nose and body and teeth and also having some taxidermists look at the teeth we have come up with 5-6 years old max. Makes you wonder if it was his best year or if he even had a little more in him next year. Hopefully he passed on some babies before he died!

I have received about 10 messages from guys claiming they were chasing it. Problem was only two people were within the right area for it to be this buck. I had stories spread from over by Clints well, all across the rim, all the way to showlow. So apparently theres 8 other 200 inch typicals out there somewhere

Pretty sure it's done by them and the people running it just don't wanna lose their jobs.

We haven't gotten to that point yet. Imagine if for some crazy reason they don't charge cards til Monday. Gonna have the potential for setting a new page number record over one weekend.

No, or that means the first guy to put in is gonna get whatever tag he wants. And they would have no idea how to decide how many numbers they were gonna give out. All the info goes into the system they run their draw it randomly assigns numbers and whoever gets number 1 of however many apps there are gets to go first and so on through the list until there are no tags left. Lowest assigned number gets first dibs after the bonus pass round.

Because if my card goes bad over the weekend I'll be burning down 5000 W carefree hwy Phoenix, AZ.

Any sign of people in it?

I looked it up online on sci and according to their description I killed him about 10 miles north of the line. So if you have to go by what they designate he will have to go as a rocky. I don't know if they have any other way of telling other than just making the line the deciding factor. If he went as a desert he would be number 2 with a bow. As a rocky he will fall around 13 with a bow. Official scored through pope and young he was a couple inches smaller than originally thought but he grosses 200 0/8" and nets 197 4/8". Which if what I've looked up is correct he should be top 5 in az with a bow p&y and somewhere in top 15 p&y all time.

Like title says. I'd like to check something. Pm me if you do. Thanks

Haha I'm relaxed just curious.

These are the fluorite lenses?

Last years was not the norm due to issues with the draw. Generally they have been released first couple days of April. I think we could get them end of March now that they don't call people for three days.

I've heard from a few guys close to some wardens that the whole reason behind the trail cam ban is due to higher success rates since people have been using them so much. I'd assume they are focusing on the much higher rate of giant deer being killed on the strip and alot of big elk being killed. Who knows if trail cams are directly responsible when you have to factor in advances in technology, the fact that some of these companies have armies of people out looking for these animals etc. But that's what I heard is they want to bring down the success rates a little.

Let's see all your 370's you're settling for every 3-4 years hahaha

Reading the minutes looks like the ban is going to cover any water source except wallows. They clarify what they meant regarding point water source by basically saying any water source where there is always water. Looks like the quarter mile from a house with a bow is gonna pass.
