MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted May 7, 2021 im just not understanding this 27 deal??? 900 rifle tags and they shut down archery to 150 tags total????? so im guessing .0000001 chance of drawing an august archery tag. What does this do? Unit 1 also but i didnt look at the rifle tags for 1. 1000 tags for unit 7 on one hunt??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creed_az_88 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 I haven't looked at the regs but I suspect 2a,b,c archery went to a draw. I just can't understand that one. Everybody in the white mtns go royally screwed imo. There is no way that the archers in those units are doing much damage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSR Report post Posted May 7, 2021 The reason they are closing down early archery hunts instead of rut hunts in January is because most non residents hunt in January when their seasons back home are closed. So residents get screwed in Aug and December but the G$F can still get the NR $$$$$ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted May 8, 2021 They butchered the tag amounts and twice the hunters, I guess its time to just fish. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live and hunt in 7e and would like to see them split. Would probably up the draw odds in 7e if they were. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
