AZMThunter Report post Posted December 15, 2011 I was helping some guys in 7W on a deer hunt this year and the elk numbers seem down substantially from previous years. Big bulls were especially scarce. Deer numbers seem pretty consistent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesdiehard Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Pretty pumped about the elk regs (6 BPs) and hope to get one of my archery bull draws for sure but I am really super-pumped about the antelope regs!!! I finally feel like I have a fighting chance at one these antelope tags with 19 BPs. I will be pouring over the elk and antelope stats every spare moment I have until I submit my apps. Decisions, decisions.... Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearsnagger Report post Posted December 15, 2011 1625 antlerless cow tags in unit 10 rifle - Are they out of there minds - they are destroying our herds - there is now way they can recover from illiminating all the cows G$F what the **** are you thinking???!!! even if they only kill 500 thats THOUSANDS of lost elk over the next several yrs! first the 5's then the 6's now unit 10?? The G&F are not doing the thinking on this ... It's the same old story the politicians created this! This was started during Napolitano's rein.... Janet and her cronies viewed our hunting as a resource to pay off the states debts so they they started sweeping all of the leftover $$$ from the G&F into their general fund....They also increased tags & the cost of lic and tags drastically to create more revenue to sweep! Jan Brewer is continuing the practice! The sportsmen of Az should be outraged that the extra $$$$$ they are taxed on hunting and fishing gear is also being swept the general fund . When the sportsmen agreed & voted in these taxes it was under the condition the funds remain in the AZGFD & or approved conservation programs! Within the next 5 years a reident Elk tag will cost over $200 dollars..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAM Report post Posted December 15, 2011 Holy shoot! i pulled up the regs and was told i was the 10th person to open them up and won a free elk hunt in unit of choice! Whoo hoo! I can't wait, i'm so lucky. Thats funny I was the 11th person to open the regs and they told me it was an elephant exchange and that I get to take my pick of the first 10 guys choices ahead of me! Hahaha, just kidding. On a real note best of luck this year. Hope alot of us die hards get the tags we hope for. -Ryan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted December 15, 2011 it's kinda hard to understand how they can set the permit numbers for next year when the hunts from this aren't done and they dang sure ain't tallied the success numbers from the late rifle bull hunts yet. but what do i know?

AZLance Report post Posted December 15, 2011 You really think that statistics and numbers mean anything to the G&F??? Those hunter survey cards don't mean a Damm thing! I drew a middle finger on mine this year and sent it back! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
