Turkey is too.

That place is like calling an AA meeting, no one knows what is going on ever.

Hands down, the worst run agency. They make USAid look like a model of efficiency and accountability.

[wildwoody]

They said yes twice to me. Not sure she understood the question totally. I believe the 24th is coues deadline.

What's the story behind that picture?

[Apache7mm]

Early October, he ran across the road and up the tree. Not as big as he looks, think the tree is pushing all the jelly outward and just has a thick coat.

Any idea when the deer results will be out

[wildwoody]

I think draw is open until the 24th so probably the 28th

Fall bear, Elk, and Coues lotteries close on February 23rd. Lottery drawing on February 24th starting sometime in the AM. 

Fall bear hunts did not have the 1st or 2nd hunt option during entry so I'm sure once you're drawn the office would be giving you a call to get your preference. I wouldn't be discouraged if you initially receive a "not drawn" email. Because some may take a 1st or 2nd hunt over one or the other it will result in 2nd, 3rd, etc rounds of drawings which of course could take all day or even all week. 

Elk lotteries will follow the same format and same additional rounds where required. Not sure why (assume its due to the "ease" of entering from your mobile device) but draw success will be way down this year with a gargantuan amount of entries this time around for all species/hunts.

Coues deer lotteries will be a nightmare but they always are. If you applied for multiple units/hunts, you'll have to make the decision to accept the first tag you receive or roll the dice and hold out for the more premier units/hunts. The lottery will likely start with the less desired units/hunts and move up from there so could take some time with several rounds of drawing. 

Good luck to everyone that applied. I'm always available for questions or whatever anytime and can be reached at 928.200.2209. 

In other news around the Rez. Predator Management Event will be March 14-16 same format as before. I'll post info soon in the appropriate forum. Bass fishing at San Carlos Lake has been amazing for the last month or so and only getting better with this weather. Consistent 2-7lb bass being caught all over the Lake. Large boat launching and trailer parking available at the Soda Canyon ramp with more primitive launching at New Government corral. The lower Mohave ramp was covered in sand so wouldn't recommend. Crappie bite shouldn't be too far behind, there have been some caught here and there 2 to 3 lbs.

Thanks for the information, Dan.  While I appreciate the opportunities SCAT provides to non-members their communication services are terrible IMO.  It took me 3 weeks to get someone on the phone to ask a question on the spring turkey draw.   The website is outdated and not accurate as it has all last year's information.  Even the new online lottery system did not offer dates of the hunts and the number of tags being offered for each hunt.  It's hard to put in for time off when there are no dates of hunts.  Thanks for sharing your contact information.  I may reach out to you if I have other questions.  John

Thanks Dan 

My Dad will love the news about San Carlos lake. He has fished that lake for over 50 years.  It's His and My favorite lake of all.  I can remember back in 2005 We had 100 plus days on crappie and 30 to 40 bass thrown in as bonuses. We been going to Talkalai. Maybe time to hit the river area at San Carlos.😄
