Isn't the feeder bending the rules,

 

how so?

 

I seem to remember something in the regs about feeding wildlife is a no-no..I can't find it in this years copy though..tried calling but they are closed.. I may be wrong? It seems if it were ok, our woods would be filled with feeders like some other states..again I may be wrong.. I'm personally not against feeders but I just thought you werent spossed to have umm out there..the regular feeding of wildlife is a whole other factor i guess ?? I dunno...Why's i a- wroted that there sentance with a one them there question marx at the end I didn't mean for this to turn into a litter/ feeder topic...but the feeder stands out in the pic and crosses me as a maybe no-no...more so than the guy with a bow.

You can bait any wildlife in AZ except Bears and Migratory Birds. It is totally legal to bait deer or any other Big Game Species except Bears. Probably won't stay that way for long though.

Well, when they start enforcing the littering law, they better start with bird hunters 1st. try walking more than 50 yards without stepping on shotgun hulls.

I think it is illegal to feed wildlife in Maricopa County and maybe one other? Is that correct? Anyone know?

[Tines]

Pima, I believe....

They're trying to cut down on feeding in populated areas. On the one hand you've got quail and Javi's coming into your yard and it's really fun to have all that wildlife to watch and enjoy. At the same time, some folks get irked when the piggies eat their expensive landscaping or take up residency in their yard.

 

I have a co-worker in Fountain Hills that keeps begging me to come shoot the javalina that keep messing up his yard...LOL. He just isn't aware about the regulations etc. Funny thing though, he says he's got a Mt. Lion that has made a bed out of his TV dish. I asked if he was sure it wasn't a bobcat, and long story short, the thing definately has a long tail, so I'm guessing it really is a lion.

 

In hunting situations, baiting is allowed for anything besides bear and migratory birds. Some counties with high human densities are trying to outlaw feeding game in an effort to deal with the high-strung types who just love having a home in the desert, as long as they can keep the desert at bay.

you should put in for archery javeina - depends on where he lives in FH - they may have the over the counter urban permits available - the lion problem can be solved also -

This year I'm going super low-tech for javi's for myself, unit 27 HAM with a buddy who wants to go all traditional blackpowder. Either grandpa's cap and ball .50 cal Hawkins or or my flint .50 Hawkins if I can get it back into service. My backup is a Remington Navy 1858 stainless ball and cap six-shooter. We've decided it's all patch and ball, no fiber optics or magnified scopes. Should make for a very fun low-tech hunt.

 

For my boys, I'm trying to learn the herds N. of Roosevelt. They've got the 22-23 youth tag and I know of a couple herds in 22 I can hopefully get them on, but looking to find some 23 herds also. The ones in 22 I know of can only take so much beating and we've hit them pretty hard the last couple of years. Anybody willing to share some unit 23 pig info for the kids, I'm all ears. I've seen them off and on around Cherry Creek/Coon Creek, but don't have anything reliable at this point.

 

We'll likely park the trailer on the Young/Cherry Creeek road and hunt the North half of the lake (what portions aren't closed off) and some of the flats N. of Punkin Center.

 

Anybody who wants to share a kids camp in 23 in the later part of January is more than welcome. If nothing else, it's a good chance to go learn some interesting country, share some beers over the campfire and meet a fun hunting family. Come on in and say howdy.

Shotgun hulls are left on the ground to let you know that you are in a good spot.

 

This is the first state I lived in that I religiously pick up my shells. Before it was if and when I remembered, now I go out of my way.
