muley224 Report post Posted September 27, 2019 Missed a call yesterday from AZGFD. Then got the email. "You were next in line for unit 9 Pronghorn hunt". Called them this morning after a tough night of deciding to go or not since the hunt starts in a week. After weighing all the pros and cons, the cons won. Too good of a tag to go up there half-assed. I have been waiting a long time and when I do draw, I will spend months scouting, shooting, and planning my hunt. It was hard to turn it down, but I think it was the right decision. Hopefully it goes to a deserving hunter. Wish they let me know a few months ago, then it would be a no-brainer. BTW, the Gal at Game and Fish was super nice and was a pleasure to talk with. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missedagain Report post Posted September 27, 2019 Maybe surrendered tags should be like leftover tags that don't take away your bonus points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muley224 Report post Posted September 27, 2019 With 25 BP's figure that I'll draw before I Check out. I have been waiting 23 years and I really only want 1 Goat tag. Once I draw, it will be my last time applying. Also dont have anyone to go with me. My huntin buddy George is out of the country, Part of hunting is enjoying it with friends. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Browns Report post Posted September 28, 2019 With that many points I would have made the same decision. A large part of the fun with Antelope hunting is the scouting. It would be a let down not having the time to scout and enjoy learning the country. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
