I tried it once back in my college days

[Guest 300ultramag.]

Salting and sitting is for grandmas...........

 

no offense....

 

I like to spot and stalk.. and maybe thats why I havent taken a handful of coues but thats how I hunt! (deer run)

 

Sitting water is fair game...but a trailcam, salt lick and another trailcam.. maybe when I get old and need to be in a wheel chair i will use these tactics. I spend alot of coin on my huntin boots so I use em.

When someone posts a bunch of pics of a deer from a trail cam, and then post the field pics of the harvest. To me

its not that impressive. Sorry.

Can you explain why it is (in your mind) ok to sit water but not salt? Just wondering. I will obey what ever laws they cram down our throats but I just hate to see any more restrictions on our hunting rights. I would think that there are things that are much more devastating to our deer herds that require the attention of AZG&F.

 

 

I ended up taking this buck during the November hunt...........after 1025 hunters in October and 1024 on my hunt. I spent more time hiking into the remote area that the cam was set up in than I would've if I did not have the cam. The buck was about a mile from where I spotted him originally, I used my 15 power binos to glass him up....................perhaps we had ought to ban those also?

You are exactly right, if we allow this to happen what's next, and the azgfd is always going to say it will never come to that, that is until it comes to that.

I couldn't agree more with both of you! I use salt. I use cameras. I haven't been more successful because of either directly but because I have spent more time in the woods tending to the salt and cameras.

For those who salt and throw corn, so be it!

For those who do not, so be it!

I agree that other more important things, need to be remedied that require the attention of AZGF. I for one believe though AZGF may create the rules and guidlines for the hunts in AZ, we as hunters are the true wildlife managers. If the most important meeting for us to be at is the one in April, I'll be there!

I dont bait. I hunt To each his own, I dont judge ne 1. I am just not that impressed when I see

trail cam pics of a deer at a salt lick and then field photos at that same salt lick.

I do not understand your comparison but thank you for the answer.

Its the same as using 500 lbs. of chum to catch a shark.Oppose to just throwing a single line and waiting, and then saying the outcome would be no different.Yeah Right

Ne ways on CWT in the "how to hunt" section does it suggest buying cameras and a salt lick....nope!

I can see the mentality of an outfitter using these tactics to give a paying customer (non-resident) more opp.

and I am all for it.But thats commercial. As a fisherman U cant use live bait in tournaments.But commercially u can use nets.

Let me put it like this....Bait is used for fishing.

So then, if I bait up a carp, you're ok with it?

Very clever

 

This guys got jokes!

I don't use a rifle, I hunt. I use a bow. I am just not that impressed when I see a field photo with a rifle shot of a few hundred yards, but as you said, "to each his own".

I use mineral blocks and a trail cam. I spend more money and time tending to them several times a year than just showing up on opening day and driving roads hoping a buck runs across. I don't sit the salt. I simply use it and the cam to insure there is a caliper of deer that I want to harvest in that area. Plus it is cool to see what else is running around the woods. What I hate is guys sitting behind a rifle with his deer with the title of the picture. DEER @ 653 yards. Now thats B.S. Outlaw those ballistic scopes. Some dummie picks one up and thinks he now has the capabilities of a military sniper. This is hunting people not target practice. Sneak up on your game. Shots over say 300 yards are just plain silly. 40 and under is where its at! sneaky style

[fatfootdoc]

So just to stir up the pot to all you guys who dont take the long shot, how many deer are wounded by bowhunters every year? I bowhunt and the reason I put this on here is that the last thing we should be doing is fighting amongst ourselves about how people hunt. I practice quite a bit with my rifle and will shoot past 600 yards and frankly dont give a crap what you think about it. That being said, I also shoot my bow quite a bit when I draw an archery tag but will not shoot past 45 yards, again there are people who shoot farther than that good for them. If you like to hunt over bait more power to you, if you like to shoot from a tree stand go for it. If you like to shoot at 600 yards and feel capable go for it. If you want to shoot a deer at a waterhole with a bow with expandable broadheads knock yourself out. If you like to run them down and stab them to death, if its legal, videotape it I want to see it.

We can argue and argue and argue and all we do is divide one another when we should be supporting one another, we have enough antis and non hunters watching us that we need to stick together.

you say potato and dan quayle says potahtoe, to each their own. Lay off one another already. ag
