    Champ and Crossbow Permit Proposed Changes

    If you can hunt with a crossbow then you can hunt with a gun. I have yet to see anywhere in the proposal where it forbids anyone from hunting. The argument of a few on here just doesn't hold sand. Pick up a gun and go hunt. Lastly, everyone's minds are already made up on the issue. I suggest everyone with an opinion one way or another to write G&F or show up and speak at meeting.

    Looking for a new career

    Many high schools around the state teach law enforcement classes. Apply at district offices and most likely don't need a college degree with all your experience. You could get a CTE certificate. Kids are totally different since the advent of smart phone and social media. Pay sucks but contracts are only for 180 days a year. If you really want a job, call and ask to speak to the principal of the school and set up a time to interview.
  3. If we are confessing our sins, the first thing I ever shot with my marlin 30-30 back in 1978 was one of those things that go Beep beep. Glad I finally got that off my chest.
  4. Those invasive grackles do a number on the chicks too.
  5. I normally begin to see quail hatchlings around middle to end of May. This year has been unusual as I haven't seen any until this week. I saw two different sets very near to one another. One looked to be 3-4 weeks old and the other was just a few days. Hope I start seeing a lot more.

    12A White Sage Fire

    Looking back at the 2002 Rodeo Chedeski fire I bet they wish they got those reservation fences fixed pronto like. All those Indian horses crossed over onto NF & public land and the rest is history of nightmarish proportions.
  7. I never realized how much I took for granted all the public lands we have here in AZ. It wasn't until I graduated college back in 1987 and moved to Texas. So happy I moved back. Hunted NM unit 34 elk and lots of national forest land with little pockets of Private land. They would lock gates to public lands just a few hundred yards down the road. The more and longer we can keep public lands open to general public use the better IMO. Instead of saying we need to sale the land because the government doesn't manage it properly, maybe we should just start managing it properly? We take a lot of things for granted living in AZ and out west. Such as access to public lands and weather. Unless you have come to AZ from some place else or travel to those places for extended periods of time, you never really totally understand.
  8. I'm afraid you are going to be right. This is why we can't relent, give in or forget. The Utards need to do their part and find a good candidate to primary him. Then all of the public land loving people need to put their money where their mouth is and make a contribution to his primary opponent. Eli Crane is also on my watch list to be replaced. Very disappointed in him.

    Wyoming Antelope Draw Results

    Got 13 Wyo antelope points and plan on buying more and using them in 2027. Had a successful archery hunt back in 2011 and I plan on doing it again but next time I am going to give decoying a try. The rut was crazy last time I was there. I actually hunted during a gun season but after the opener and never saw another hunter. I spent majority of my time in a blind so not seeing anyone was understandable. Weather was much better too. Congratulations and good luck to those people that drew this year.
  10. Don't let up. Keep writing and calling.

  13. One more thing, please ask all your family and friends to write and have the sale of public lands removed from BBB. This needs to spread like wildfire because they want to try and get BBB passed by July 4th.
