I'm no bear expert but I have read they like fresh young green grasses in the spring. Look for green up.

Not what I wanted but better than a total ban.

thanks Dave, I wasn't that old when we went.

There was a G&F board meeting that I sat in on years ago and one of the board members at the time explained the reason why they can't charge up front. I was mostly going off of memory. Game & Fish has consistently said they can't charge up front due to the AZ banking laws.

Actually, the law is in place and it has nothing to do with AZ G&F. It is more of a banking law where charges can't be made on a card with no services rendered or something similar. Otherwise people could be charging lottery tickets on their credit card and then not pay. This is not the only reason but this is one of the situations that the state was afraid of when they lobbied to have this law put in place. The fix needs to be made at the state legislature and the law needs to be changed. The only people I ever hear question this law are hunters so that is why it really doesn't get much traction for change. G&F just has to comply with the current AZ banking laws. To be more fair, G&F should offer a place to list a 2nd card when applying. Not having funds is one thing but having a card canceled due to fraud and no fault of your own is completely different.

I have 1 6x6 elk head from 2015 and antlers from other elk I have killed over the years along with one 5 point mule deer antler for sale. Prefer to sale them all together. They are just taking up space in shed. make offer. John 623-680-4458 North Peoria 83rd & Happy Valley rd area

Going back to my computer programming days the best description of a conversion I ever heard was, It's kind of like changing a tire as the car is moving. I am not making excuses for G&F and have been critical of their IT department for years. I still don't believe many of the people that work there truly understand the draw. This goes for the people at front counter as well. They should have tested everything and fixed any errors long before they ever tried to run this draw. There certainly is an accountability difference between the government sector and private sector.

Dave, Can I get one of those Covid excuses in writing? You never know when it might come in handy.

I've had both shots. No side affects from the first in January. Had high fever and flu like symptoms for 24 hours after the 2nd shot 11 days ago. I'm anti flu vaccine but I did this mostly for the people around me. If the shot kills me, oh well. Better going out now than going out sitting in a wheel chair in some nursing home.

I had to call the manufacturer to get the exact wording. Here is what they told me. It is a stainless steel with Armor Alloy coating. I was told the Armor alloy is similar to what we call Cerakote today. The gun was made in 1987 and they only made this model from 1985-89. I have owned the gun for aprox 30 years and shot less than 200 rounds through either barrel.

There is a 10X10 kodiak canvas tent that was just listed here in the classifieds for a very fair price. I have one and they are great tents.

Good. It wasn't just me.

You need to change the Arizona banking laws if you want to charge up front. Each state has different banking laws and that is why some states can get away with it. This is not an G&F issue.
