khmer6 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 I have to agree, AZ probably has the best overall elk hunts. Antler number size etc taken all into account. Even with increasing tag numbers and azgfd selling more tags instead of managing for quality, there are still great units for quality and other units for quanity. I do wish they would reduce the cow tags tho. Seems like too many. But on the topic, I don't think a federal tag is the way to go. Fed tag the funding goes to the fund to spend on crap like fast and furious, at least keeping it with the agency will stay amongst azgfd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted January 13, 2014 />If you like your elk tag you can keep your elk tag hahaha!!! Nobody's trying to take your elk tag away, we're just trying to make sure everyone has the same opportunity to the elk tag. If you pre existing conditions (poaching or what not) you can still have your elk tag!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted January 13, 2014 At least Congress will be exempt from getting elk tags. Middle class folks will be paying more for elk tags, so the "Po folk" can get theirs cheap 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PackerMenges Report post Posted January 13, 2014 This is almost insulting. From your first post to your follow up comments of us not being open minded enough and there not being economics in it for the hunter. Surely you are being sarcastic... No one in their right mind can say there are no economics in hunting. There are vast amounts of money, budgeting, investing, and other practices that all fall under the realm of economics in hunting. From the hunter who hunts the game, to the agency who "manages" the game, economics is a major driving force that either allows us to hunt, or not. Open Minded enough? You have to be either ignorant or not live here to see the effects of getting the federal govt involved with not only managing species of animals but managing the lands. The negative results are astounding and numerous. Many threads before this point out reasons not to get the federal govt involved. Bottom line, this idea is horrible. Either you don't know what you are saying or you are enjoying watching the thread light up. I really hope for your sake, it is the latter. Way to get the fire started though. I do believe those of us that love the outdoors need to continue to be vigilant in making sure this particular scenario is never even close to becoming a reality. The ESA is bad enough and in my personal opinion, needs to be scrapped, based on "economics." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
