AZwest16 Report post Posted April 7, 2014 over harvest is not the problem G&F have been fabricating hunter success for yrs. just like the fly over herd counts - no way to get accurate info from one pass and return from any unit and then use that to calculate the population talk to the people who live there - pick any unit - they just laugh at the #'s posted by G&F most say they never see any G&F personal in the field. My buddy and I sat during the Jan. hunt and watched the helicopter buzz the mountain range we were glassing for over 20 minutes. He told me that he had read some where that the G&F would be doing surveys in the unit. Why the F&%! are they doing surveys during a hunt??????? They fly the surveys during archery deer because its during the rut. Best chance of seeing deer activity where they will be herded together and more of the bucks up moving around.

johnnie blaze Report post Posted April 7, 2014 Ward, not insinuating that you don't care....and no doubt that you do your share of harvesting, errr...game managing in the unit, I'm just saying that it comes off in a bad way that the wheel that's squeaking the loudest is a for-profit sportsman. Not to say I don't agree that all us "wheels" should be squeaking louder, even if it isn't our unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnie blaze Report post Posted April 7, 2014 That's kind of a silly question. Of course he cares about the deer population, because without it, he would have no business. Maybe you should ask the same question to AZGFD... if they really care about the deer population why do they continually increase rifle deer tags? Or maybe they are just greedy???of course they're greedy....talk about a silly question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
