coueskiller Report post Posted January 13, 2006 Hey guys the first meeting was last night in Yuma and was wondering if anybody attended? Meetings in Mesa and Flagstaff are next week. Please attend these meetings and let's try to stop the AZGFD from changing our hunt structures. As most of you probably know they want to cut Dec. coues tag#'s by 90% and Sept. archery Bull tags by 50% and move these hunts to dates that offer less oppertunity to harvest an animal but increase tag #'s to offer more hunter oppertunity($$$$$$$ for the AZGFD) These sugested changes are already printed & in the new hunt regs for 2006/2007, the only way we will make a differce is to show up at theses meetings and have standing room only and tell the department we don't want to sacrifice our quality hunts we have now for more oppertunity to hunt during a poor time of year. Check the game and fish website for info on upcomming meetings in your area and please attend. Archery any elk hunts beging Nov.24 2006...... WHAT A JOKE!!! It is all up to us to not let this happen!!! Geoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted January 13, 2006 This is very important. Go to your local Game & Fish meeting and tell them to NOT take away our good hunts for more bad hunts. It is hard enough to get drawn for Dec whitetail now. If their proposal flies it will be impossible. If your not familar with what they are going to do, it's like this. Reduce the number of permits for dec whitetail so they can add twice as many in the early hunts. More opportunity is what they call it. If you don't holler now then it will be too late when you read about in the hunt booklet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
