Anyone else getting screwed by the San Carlos? So years ago we used to hunt bears without guides on the San Carlos (I’m sure many of you remember these days). But then the tribe changed the rules that you had to have a tribal guide and they raised the tag’s to about $1500. Obviously a lot of people quit hunting it because of the new rules. Well if you been to any of the rivers over the last couple of years the bear population is insane! So this year they opened it back up to hunting without a tribal guide and they lowered the bear tags down to $600. It was a first come first serve basis. My buddy and I got our apps in and last week they called us saying we were successful in getting tags, they let us pick our unit, all good 👍🏼. A week goes by and we noticed they never charged our cards. So we made a follow up call. Then we were informed that the Director changed his mind and “first come first serve” now means that people hiring tribal guides get the tags first, so they took our tags back and said never mind. It doesn’t say that anywhere on their website. So obviously my buddy and I were pretty heated. We were excited about our tags. So we called them on their bs, well that upset the “Director” enough that he told us he would put us on the “blacklist” so we could never hunt again on the San Carlos. The San Carlos is known for this bs, they wouldn’t let Turkey hunters hunt during Covid and wouldn’t refund their money. The Director is a crook! They can go ahead and put me on the “blacklist” cause I’ll never give them another dime!

Those reservations are one step above a third world country, with similar corrupt governments that do as they please. They are sovereign so there is no oversight but at the same time they are backed by the U.S. governments money. On top of that, they are some of the most greedy people on the planet that will screw people over to make a quick buck without thinking about the money they will lose in the future. They are lucky they have big money hunters that are willing to pay for those elk tags or they'd all have starved to death by now. The director, Tim Stevens, is a worthless piece of trash, that as you learned just runs things as he pleases and makes up rules as he goes. BUT they know there's enough people that are willing to play their game to get to hunt there so they don't really care.

Yes, I bought a yearly $5 habitat stamp with my 1 day fishing license in person. Then I went to buy another daily fishing license online weeks later and it wouldn’t let me check out unless I bought the $5 habitat stamp again. Those bastards

For those that have been asking about the Arizona Bowhunters Association/Bowhunting in Arizona Record Book annual banquet, here it is! It's a few months later this year due to unavoidable circumstances. You can scan the code on the flyer to pay using PayPal. YOU DO NOT need a PayPal account to use the link. You can pay with Venmo, credit or debit card at the link if you choose. See you there!

Crooks. Stop applying there. Spread the word.

Fair chase as in buying farm bulls and throwing them out in there..

Had a fun weekend with friends up at Reservation Lake. Fishing was good, between the group we caught several nice fish. We didn't catch any monsters but caught several in the 18-22" range.

Wow! This is crazy but doesn’t surprise me.

Years ago when I owned my MATCO tool business I was in globe area for 2 days a week. The golf course kept calling me to go out there so finally I did. Cost me about $8500, they never paid.

I agree with that. It's just much more prevalent on reservations.

A lot of what you just said rings true for Utah and SFW.

something like this?

Rez=Mexico, that being said it's a different country over there and they do as they please. They claim everything there is fair chase, this is not fair chase. I feel for you and would be upset as well.

Moving is not in the cards. Especially to DGL or NACO. Sonoita? I might have to think about that one. Currently, I am on a detail working with a lot of people from Sonoita so I would fit in alright down there. Thats where I wanted to be originally, but I am happy with where I am.

Might have to do this.

Definitely have a kayak the springs are flowing good but a bunch of weeds by shore.

Slick tricks are great and tough to beat. One other broadhead to consider is the QAD Exodus. A fantastic overall broad head that just works

It's a bunch of hoops to jump thru but in the end it's definitely worth the time. I'm still waiting for the atf on my two Evo and the omega but my other two are great especially if you run subsonic ammo. I put together a 300blk just for hogs and to run suppressed. Watched a javalina stand there after I shot his buddy at 10 feet . Didn't know where it was coming from.

If you are looking for a specific area out of this book, let me know and I can send you some pics/PDF's via email or PM.

I've shot 1 elk and 13 deer with the slicktrick standard with perfect results.

Slick Trick 125 grain standard, 425 grain arrow, 290fps at 52 yds. Went through both scapula of a 320 bull.

Thats an impressive distance with that much trauma and blood loss. Neither of the bulls I killed bled like that, but neither went 125 either.

Slick Trick Magnums. I've shot 3 into 2 elk and performance on all 3 has been perfect. The first bull had no idea where I was and offered me a second shot so I took it. Second bull took one at 56 yards and was dead in 15 seconds and within sight. Amazing performance on both. Two of the three blew through, the third hit a rib on the way in and a rib on the way out and was bulging the skin on the off side, but didn't exit.

Looks like my Banish Gold 30 adapter. I would be interested in it.
