coueshunter84 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Anyone know how to cook bonus points? I drew one for elk and antelope this year. and the wife drew one for elk also. That gives me 3 now in the freezer for elk and 2 for goats. Now I just have to figur out how to cook the durn things. I figure if I keep up this luck streak in about 4 or five more years I might actually have enough to make a broth out of or something. And one with any good recipies. please help.. also anyone knowing a good taxidermist for bonus points, I could use that name also. Thanks Shane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted July 17, 2003 I WAS TOLD THAT THE BONUS POINT HAD TO BE HUNG AND AGED FOR A YEAR OR MORE BEFORE IT IS READY, I DON'T THINK MOUNTING IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD EVERYBODY HAS ONE OR TWO OR FIVE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 17, 2003 My recipe book says to add 24 pink slips into a 1 qt. saucepan with 1 cup of cheap wine, simmer slowly for 10 minutes, then eat the pot cuz bogus points are inedible. Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 17, 2003 I drew 36c in October. Unfortunately, I also drew unit 2b in New Mexico for the same weekend. Maybe Scotty could beam me from one place to the next. My Chevy transporter is too slow(Casey-I know I shoulda got a Ford). Sounds like a big camp could be made for the 36c october hunt. Doug/Red Rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhntr Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Just found out I got a 36A Dec tag and an archery cow elk tag. No antelope again, but finally a deer tag I wanted. Good luck hunters!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rembrant Report post Posted July 18, 2003 In the Game Dept's web page in the section for comments I suggested that AZ require all applicants to have taken and passed a hunter safety course. Why don't we already? There could be a grace period of a few years to facilitate the crowd that has not done so yet. Also, another requirement would be for all applicants to pay up front. These are just a couple of common sense things that would seperate the serious from the non-serious, and the hunter from the animal activist. There are a number of recent developements that have greatly reduced everyone's odds at the draw: Internet apps; no cap on non-residents; Arizona's tremendous population growth, and those silly people that think if they buy a tag and not use it they are saving an animal. I'm just not used to not getting drawn for deer, and my boys don't get to hunt either. Seems we could use a better strategy at this point. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted July 19, 2003 my older brother and i drew our second choice unit 32 october. this will be a tough one being that it is only 4 days and with football i will only be able to hunt three. we have a pretty good knowledge of 32 and i was wondering if anyone had any tips on where to plan a scouting trip. thanks GreyGhost85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigBear Report post Posted July 20, 2003 Drew 34A WT Oct. Also NM antelope muzzleloader and piggy. Good luck everyone. Just ordered some Leica 8x42 binos. Anyone got these ? BigBear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueshunter84 Report post Posted July 21, 2003 Greyghost, Anything on the north end of the that unit is a good place. but if your after something nice plan on getting off the beaten path and back in the bush a ways. Good luck. Shane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cpugsie Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I drew a unit 32 october whitetail tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest_Bombero Report post Posted July 24, 2003 Got drawn for elk, but no whitetail tag. Seriously, I was bummed even though I got a late bull hunt (muzzleloader) in 6A. Funny how the coues hunting gets addictive. Got drawn for the December hunt in 33 for two years straight, and successful both years, so I guess my luck was used up. There are leftover tags in 30B, anyone have any good info about the unit. AZGFD states there aren't many whitetail there. Thanks, Rod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
