TRKHNTR Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Never say never guys...every year at the Sheep Clinic they ask if anyone got drawn the first time putting in and pretty much every year at least one person raises their hand. You can't win if you don't play! Seriously though, that license is one of the coolest random things I've ever seen posted here! Thanks for reminding me of all the GOOD LUCK (bad luck for me) stories I hear year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after yearafter year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after yea rafter year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year (taking a breath) year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after yearafter year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after yea rafter year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year.

TRKHNTR Report post Posted May 30, 2015 This is your year TRKHNTR. Make sure you rub a shiny penny, heads up of course, on your app before sending it in.....IT"S GOOD LUCK!! I've tried it all hopping on the right foot while holding the left foot off the ground and turning in a circle and sticking out my tongue to the left side of my mouth while biting down on the right side of my tongue oh yeah and by god don't forget to make sure you cross your right eye while your left eye stares straight ahead. I'm just glad they have online applications now I had a lot of people laughing at me when I would turn my app in at the local AZGFD oh yea I almost forgot try all the above while you try and stick the application in the metal box with the application stuck between your middle and fourth toe. I have literally tried it all some I'm too embarrassed to mention and it don't work, but….I'll keep tryin and have fun doin it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Buck Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Cool photo of the license. Lots of history there. I got my first Arizona hunting license in 1963. It cost $5 and another $1 for the OTC deer tag. I also picked up an extra box of 30-30 shells for $2.95 at the Govway store on McDowell Rd in Scottsdale on the way out to the Beeline Hwy. Fun times and lots more hunters in the field then. TRKHNTR it looks like you have applied for sheep longer than me. I have been applying since 1968 unsuccessfully. If my math is correct and 11 of the max bonus point holders again only pay for bonus points, we have 19.5 percent chance of drawing a tag. How could you not draw with odds that good. Good luck in the draw, hope this is the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muley224 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Bet that license holder is still waiting for a Sheep tag ! OMG!!!! now that is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.... wish I could agree with you but I don't see the humor if you read my last post you will understand. Im 35+ years myself. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted June 1, 2015 I bought my first Arizona hunting license along with my first deer and javelina tags (they were made of metal) at age 12 in 1948. I kept the hunting license rolled around the bolt inside the buttstock of the .303 Savage Model 99 rifle I used on my early hunts. Unfortunately, that rifle and a bunch of others were stolen a few years back, or I'd check the price on the license. (I could be wrong, but I seem to remember paying $5 for the license and $1 each for the tags.) One of the earliest Arizona hunting regulations sheets I've seen was reprinted maybe 30-40 years ago and was widely distributed at the time. I've lost my copy, and can't remember when the original came out, but I think it was about 1905 or so. I do remember that it told about closed seasons for "mountain sheep" and camels, and that hunting was prohibited in literally hundreds of small "game refuges" the state had declared. (Three or four of them were along the Little Colorado River between Sheep's Crossing and St. John's.) There was no distinction between mule deer or white-tailed deer, and elk were not mentioned, as I remember it. Bears could be hunted year around. Incidentally, if anyone needs proof that a minimum wage is inflationary and provides only a temporary benefit for entry-level workers, consider this: In 1950, when I got my first hourly job, the minimum wage was $0.75 per hour. A new Chevy or Ford auto cost less than $1,000. Union tradesmen earned about $5,000 a year. Gasoline was 19 cents a gallon, and a carton of cigarettes cost less than $3.00.

Phil Beavers Report post Posted June 1, 2015 Never say never guys...every year at the Sheep Clinic they ask if anyone got drawn the first time putting in and pretty much every year at least one person raises their hand. You can't win if you don't play! Seriously though, that license is one of the coolest random things I've ever seen posted here! That happened to my buddy. He's been hunting his whole life ( we are in our early 30's ) and like after 5 years of putting in for big horn he got drawn. Killed one last year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
