Elk Points

[naturebob]

I been away for 7-8 months here , but I hate that too and others here hated me cause I accused them of putting in Grandma and aunts and every relative possible that doesn't hunt. I Guess I'M dumb cause I never did it but it is legal as can be . So go for it. I am doing the reverse this year in Wyoming. I have a chit load of points for Elk and I am letting 2 guys put in with me and they are paying for my wilderness guided hunt with them . They do it every year . So if its legal do it. I was dumb  not doing it in Arizona.  Good luck all with your points and Draw. Even Trophy hunter and FirstCoues was an 80.I will be 68 this year and don't care anymore one way or another . I am just happy , But Dad lived to 99 so I will be in the woods for a while.....................................BOB!.

So, anyone who can’t shoot a bow anymore should just have to give up the September hunts?  
 

Correct. if you can’t shoot a bow, don’t apply for bow hunts. Nobody is entitled to rut hunts

If you read the paper work/ crossbow permit application it has very specific parameters that are required to be filled out. Also you need to be seen by a DR or specialist too. My father had 2 back surgeries, and his nerves are so jacked up he sometimes can't feel his feet let alone walk a long distance. He will be seeing his Dr to see if they will allow him a crossbow permit and maybe even a champ which I still don't think he will get anyways. 

It's not as easy as people say it is.

The "System"  has been getting abused for decades. Parents and grandparents who never intend to hunt putting in just to accumulate points then turning over the tag to a kid. People feigning injuries so they can get a crossbow permit.

If you can't pull a bow back anymore then rifle hunt or take up fishing.

I've learned to love fishing, not because I can't pull a bow back. I donate alot.

not JUST to turn over to a kid but to have a pool of people with many points to use for themselves.  smart    and not that expensive

Josh, print the form and have him take his to his Dr.  If he’s as messed up as you say, the doc should sign it.  It’s all contingent on the  Dr.  analysis.,but from what you’re saying it should be a given . Helps if they are not antis, for sure.
