How close to the border are you lark, if you would pay them they might mow the whole thing. Just Kidding, you need to set up a game camera so you can find the culprit, and then we can all hire them.

Federal judge removes injunction on 10-percent nonresident cap

 

There is more good news for Arizona hunters: U.S. District Court Judge Robert Broomfield on Aug. 22 honored the Arizona Game and Fish Department?s motion to revoke the permanent injunction prohibiting enforcement of the state?s 10-percent nonresident cap on big game drawings.

 

?This means the last major legal hurdle has been crossed. Now the Game and Fish Commission can continue moving forward with its rule making efforts to reinstate the 10-percent nonresident cap,? says Commission Chairman Hays Gilstrap.

 

Arizona?s original 10-percent cap on nonresident hunt tags was created to protect hunting opportunities for Arizona residents. Last year in July, a U.S. District Court declared the cap unconstitutional, citing the federal Commerce Clause as the reason, and issued an injunction prohibiting the department from enforcing the cap.

 

That court action set in motion an exhaustive effort during the past year by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission and the department that involved hunters and other stakeholders to institute a wide range of strategies to help protect resident hunting opportunities.

 

More recently, the U.S. Congress recently took action to renounce interest in regulating hunting and fishing permits under the federal Commerce Clause, opening the door for states to impose caps and other limits on nonresident hunt opportunities.

 

At its August meeting in Flagstaff, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission approved a notice of rulemaking to not just reinstate the 10-percent cap, but to expand the cap as well. The original 10-percent cap applied to bull elk, buffalo, bighorn sheep and some antlered deer units. The commission voted to expand the cap to include all antlered deer hunts, plus pronghorn, javelina and turkey hunts as well. For most species, the cap would be applied at no more than 10 percent of the tags available for each hunt number.

 

?The rule process takes time and involves lots of opportunities for public input, but we anticipate having the caps in place for the 2006 big game drawings,? says Gilstrap.

take that georgy girl and his toady griz. are they gonna go back to 10% for bighorn too? they bumped it up to 15% guranteed this year. Lark.

Good to hear the Arizona Game and Fish is past the last hurdle. The 10 percent of tags per hunt number is fantastic it should have been in place a long time ago.

I liked the calling seminar by Steve Chappel as he is probably one of the best callers I have ever met and anytime I have a chance to learn something knew on calling elk, I'm there.
