CatfishKev Report post Posted November 21, 2023 1 hour ago, ctafoya said: I reported a helicopter in unit 1 three years ago for pushing elk over to 27 the day before early archery started. It' was G&F doing a "survey ". I remember you posting that and thinking it seems very odd that game and fish would do that during a hunt.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted November 21, 2023 Oh they do. They used to cherry bomb the heard in 6a just before sun up. They said it was to keep from people shooting more then one if they didn't fall immediately. Heards were about 300 strong. Sucked 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelhead Report post Posted November 21, 2023 Not A3 but AZG&F has flown 5BN prior to the early archery elk hunt (usually the Tuesday prior to the opener) every year I've been there. Looks like a 180 Cessna, a tail dragger. Easy to tell where they find elk as there is usually some high performance/low altitude flying. Not sure why the do it but they do.

Online doesn't say any details other than game and fish violations so I guess no way to confirm for sure. Hopefully they're gonna hit them with some felony charges in superior court since it's a felony for anyone who assists another person for monetary gain with the unlawful taking of big game.
