JSR Report post Posted February 10, 2022 13 hours ago, HuntHarder said: Hard to say without studying the bonus point reports. How many right now, with less than 10 points, draw rifle antelope? I would say the majority of the tags issued are to guys with less than 10 points. Just a guess tho. Ive drawn 3 antelope tags. one with 2 points - archery one with 3 points - rifle one with 10 points - ML'er Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or, you want to play the point guard game? Great, everyone in your party app has to turn in their tag too. Hit the nail on the head. ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Explorer Report post Posted February 19, 2022 I want to go hunting not take pictures of me and my crew with a big animal. Either some bad luck r some of you suck at picking hunt choices. If we are gonna throw out dream ideas how about if you were not born in Arizona you don't get bonus points. Anyways I get drawn alot and not many choice hunts to brag about but I get out and do what I love. If what you love is killing a big animal then more power to you. But don't think I am taking something away from you by drawing tags. People that complain about not drawing tags obviously hunt to kill not enjoy the experience that is at least in my blood. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted February 19, 2022 I don’t get jealous of people that draw tags that I don’t want. I do get jealous of the guys that seem to draw early archery bull tags nearly every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZAV8ER Report post Posted February 19, 2022 Heck lets get serious, before you are allowed to apply for a tag you have to demonstrate running with a 20# day pack for 200 yards and then hit a 6 inch plate at 250 yards from an improvised shooting position.

Turn elk units totally primitive consecutive years and then allow standard methods consecutive years. For example, archery hunts traditional equipment only. Muzzy hunts no inlines. General hunts limit scopes to 6 power. Then watch the quality go way up. IGDAF you are the MAN !!! Love this idea, it's called hunting so go basic and hunt. BTW took two 6X6 bulls with a fixed 6 power scope, not really a handicap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Explorer Report post Posted February 19, 2022 Are these guys with 10 plus points putting in for the same unit every year? Back in the day 10 was king, then another unit and so on. So put in for the same 2 hunts that you really want and stay off toprut...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted February 19, 2022 I’ve been drawn with 9 and 10 points and now I got 10 again…so I’ll probably need 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojangles Report post Posted February 21, 2022 I’m for cheaper tags. It gets spendy just trying to just put gas in the tank. I like the primitive hunt unit idea from IDaho Game And Fish…. Also, we could ban application services. We could put a ban on commercially published for profit hunting videos. (Anything subsidized or monetized). Tired of people who kill for the followers, likes, and the ‘gram. A lot of guys in the field who are not true sportsmen, but just glory hounds seeking sponsorship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
