Thanks Amanda.

Why is it that everywhere else can tell you an exact date that results will be available... yet every year its a guessing game with our results. WHY!

great pics. That coues buck is going to be good.

Thank you and God bless you. Our prayers are with you.

Want to buy used laser rangefinder.

Picked up some Slick tricks yesterday and will give them a try here in a few hours. Very ruggedly built, I think I made a good choice.

thanks skeeter.

Mike, That is a genius idea and truly inspired thinking. Id be all for it, specially since my young-uns are coming of hunting age....

Great guy and a great collection.

I agree with Amanda.

It was just a wild guess on my part... havent seen Ol' Skeeter in so long I barely remembered what he drives.

That sounds like "Skeeter" to me... aka Jed.

Keep the opinions coming... I'll use this plus my own research to narrow my choices to two then see which my rig shoots best.

Mike what price range are you looking at? I think I know of one over here in Prescott but Im not sure if he still has it or what he's asking for it.

This is where we've been headed for a few years now. The average working hunter who has been the backbone of the game and fish department is being slowly phased/priced out. We'll just be left with the scraps... late december archery cow elk hunts, and october "1000 hunters in the field for a 3 day weekend" deer hunts. The average guy from out of state who'd love to come here for a once-in-a-lifetime elk hunt is screwed. Theres another post on this forum showing the beautiful pictures of our children and future hunters. Whats it going to be like for them?

Have a good one! Jeff Falls

Upon further reflection my last theory was flawed. Clearly this is all about appearances. SC wants to appear to be saving a lion. The usual cast of characters (predominantly Californ-holes) that are a part of these groups know absolutley nothing about how the tag/draw system in this state works. Ill bet theyve done this in other states like Utah and Nevada. So by doing this SC appears to their members as doing something to protect the fragile mountain lion population of AZ. G&F is seeing dollar signs. They know they get a portion of the auction price for this and that alot more than theyve gotten for previous auctionable lion tags, I'm sure. And at the same time they appear to have a heart to the non-hunting public.

They need the tag to perform the auction. You cant auction an OTC tag. And they probably cant find an outfitter to stand with them and auction his services. Therefore they auction the tag and the "lucky" winner can line up his/her own outfitter. I know this seems ridiculous from our stand point but.... them greenies dont never make no sense anyway.

Other items soon to be banned: Clubs, sticks, blunt objects, rocks, heavy hands, open fists and sharp tongues.

Thanks, got the whole outfit signed up!

Didn't get the Coues tags we were tyring for, but Skeeter and I did get mulie tags in 23.

well put Mike. I hope four years of this b.s. is enough to get this man out. A few weeks ago hes telling college graduates not to go for the brass ring. Now hes on foriegn soil pledging millions so others can come here and grasp the brass ring? Hes telling us that america needs to break its oil habit by converting to solar and wind power. Then tells the world that Iran needs nuclear power? And yet the general population is far more concerened with how his "date nite" went. I just dont get it.

ok i finally found the picture of the wild dog my buddy killed way back in 96. now its on old school film so I have to scan it and get it on here.

Even though this is not my first bull tag in AZ, It could very well be my first bull. Ive been drawn in my favorite unit at my favorite time of year. So well see. last few years while hunting there with friends Ive seen bulls that will make your heart skip a beat. Got my fingers crossed.

Well I listened to two commencement speaches and I for one cannot believe that we live in a country where our President is telling college graduates not to achieve and not to succeed. That the "old" ways that made this country great are selfish and greedy. Shame on him. I am very dissapointed in the hard turn this country is taking. Ive said all Im going to say about it, but Im sure theres plenty of apoligizers here ready to defend him.
