Thx G&F for selling to the higher at bidder. The wife and I went to the elk banquet a few years back my hunting buddy is a member and the guy at the table bought the tag .money does buy just about everything it sucked to find out it was rigged and they already had agreed to a price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The uncool part is the 37 people involved to kill a trophy. It would be funny if every book animal had to list the parties involved to taking said trophy.

Crazymonkey Report post Posted September 24, 2021 They do generate a ton of money that's for sure.I agree its always good funnies to see the pics with all the different guides logos .I wish they would just do a random draw and give the tags to the az rez hunters that the animals belong to.they raise a ton of money on everything else.no raffles just a random draw 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savagman Report post Posted September 28, 2021 Seems many missed the point. This thread has now become bash or defend archers. The point was that all methods evolve and technology has changed. Don't bash fellow hunters because your personal experiences have led you to different styles or methods. I don't use much tech in the field but do use OnX, Google Earth, GPS etc. Most of us do. I like shooting a bow but have, in the past, committed to practice at a level to be good at it. And yet good shot placement from under 20 yards on Javelina did not always work out as planned. Each and every shot that didn't work out, would have with a firearm. Call that bad luck, bash my skill or equipment, or whatever, but you cannot call me ignorant. My comment on wounding % is based on my personal experience and many peer reviewed studies. Wounding is unfortunately always a possibility. But place a bow and a firearm in the hands of minimally proficient hunters and the firearm results will be vastly superior. Before anyone gets defensive. It takes commitment to practice and great skill to shoot a bow well. I respect those of you that bow hunt ethically and responsibly. But the sport has grown immensely and many do not have the skill level that you do. Everyone starts somewhere and I do not hope to discourage new hunters. I simply have used my personal experience to decide that I do not feel ethical using a bow when a more efficient tool is available. I like the earlier hunts so will probably use a more advanced weapon for the HAM hunts. Please do not bash my decision and legal right to use handgun or fight about what should be considered a handgun. Rather support my right as I will support and defend every right we have as hunters, whether I personally participate or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
