Now that we have this quota system, I may turn anti road hunter. I’ve always welcomed and laughed at road hunters for the same reason but to the serious hunter whose hunt will be cut short because a bunch of yearlings have been shot on the road and closing his unit, yeah I believe there will be some unhappy dudes the first year of this new system. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galiuro mountain man Report post Posted August 20, 2022 I have a question for anyone that went out today. Does it seem like there is more, less or about the same amount of people hunting? I just wonder if the limits made more people go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newbie2012 Report post Posted August 20, 2022 So the rule is we have up to 48 hours to report. Yet this morning, not 2 hours after sunrise, the counts were coming in. WTF? Have we become that brainwashed and addicted to our phones? It’s like a race now. Doesn’t matter that the unit wouldn’t close until Wednesday anyway, but by golly, while my deer bakes in the warm August sun, I’m gonna log into the website and submit my report! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure there will be a lot of people out now with the “race to tag out” before the unit closes. It’s a whole new dynamic. I rarely went out in August due to the heat, but feel I better get a few days in now. Doubt the unit I’m hunting(very low quota) will ever see a January hunt again.

trphyhntr Report post Posted August 20, 2022 Good I hope they all kill and hope they spend all their vacation time now. Then me and the homies can play with the big bucks in December. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember right something like 2300 Muley tags in unit 8 in the early 80s Someone will tell me if I’m wrong. Used to be a camp every 50 yards on the main road around Bill Williams mountain but most of those were road hunters that were gone by Sunday afternoon. You could easily get away from them and have an area to yourself. Now you go to the trouble to hike in somewhere up north and there might be an atv drive right in on top of you on a trail that wasn’t there the last time I was 20 years ago. I guess kinda getting off on a different subject! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
