Adicted Report post Posted July 24, 2018 My buddy got the call from AZ G&F about a deprivation (hope i spell right) tag in St.Johns AZ. Herd of elk was tearing up the ranchers land. He was able to connect on this narly bull. Love the full velvet. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted July 24, 2018 I know I could look in the regs, but remind me how this tag works...apply and you get the call whenever a hunt is determined? Do you pay up front or only when you get called? Awesome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 Those are cool hunts. A good friend of mine killed a nice 6 point on the round valley depredation hunt last week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted July 24, 2018 These are population management hunts. Basically you turn in an app checking which species you are interested in hunting and AZGFD keeps it on file. When they need some critters killed they pull names from the file randomly and call the applicants until they get enough people to say yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJMauro12 Report post Posted July 26, 2018 I always knew these hunts as depredation hunts and understood it to be additional hunts added when there is a need. I Decided to check the definition after the last couple comments and now Im confused too. Anyone care to educate the uneducated? Sweet bull by the way!

Now see, I read it entirely differently... Since he was "deprived" of a traditional tag in the draw, it naturally become his "deprivation" tag!
