You don't lose your points and would give a vet or child with life threatening illness a great hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lv2hnt Report post Posted April 18, 2017 Analog: There are plenty of disabled vets in Arizona who'd absolutely love to hunt elk! Hunts for Heroes' motto is "healing through hunting." We work hand-in-hand with G&F's tag transfer program (and we have their application you would use to retain your bonus points through Point Guard). Easy to do and no cost to you. There are quite a few CWT members the past year who have participated as volunteers on Hunts for Heroes hunts, from javelina all the way up to desert bighorn sheep! Every one of them has their own personal story on how their own life was elevated after seeing a vet decompress in Arizona's great outdoors. I hope you'll consider donating to Hunts for Heroes --- call me so we can answer any questions you might have: (480)760-3868 Thanks for thinking of others ... --- Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Sparky Report post Posted April 19, 2017 You have to wait for the mail? As soon as I saw green boxes for NM I went home and printed my tags so I had them that day. Not the best system as I can see it being abused by some not so honest hunters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
300RUM Report post Posted April 19, 2017 You have to wait for the mail? As soon as I saw green boxes for NM I went home and printed my tags so I had them that day. Not the best system as I can see it being abused by some not so honest hunters. I thought that was a little odd the first time I saw it. What was the stop me from printing out 3 tags? If unethical Hunters create a need to go to a mailed tag system it should not be that big of a deal. The NM draw system is very efficient, AZ needs a lot of help in that department.

azruger Report post Posted April 19, 2017 That's pretty cool. Just go home and print your tag... but the wait does not bother me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjl2010 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 What's the difference in printing your tag or having one mailed? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Sparky Report post Posted April 19, 2017 They are talking about going back to a carcass tag system where the carcass tag is mailed to you. You would have to fill out the carcass tag. If you lose your license then you can print out another one. If you lose your carcass tag you have to go to a G&F Field office to get another one and they void the first one. That is why they have the bar codes on them. The way it is now somebody could print out three licenses, say for archery elk. Kill a cow opening day, fill out one license and take the elk home and put it in the freezer. If they are not checked then they could go with the second license and keep hunting. The way I have seen the "legal" way of poaching is this. Dad, wife, two kids all have tags. Wife and kids never leave camp yet four deer are killed. So I guess there are people who are always going to "game the system". Hopefully they are the minority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
