I would agree with Hunt Harder. The odds need to be reasonable. If they aren't reasonable, no way I am buying. How about a raffle for a life time AZ hunt & fish license? $500- $1000 gift cards to Cabelas, sportsmans warehouse or even Amazon. Out of state hunts or in state lion & bear hunts. I rarely buy gun raffles as I have more guns than I need already as I rarely hunt with a gun anymore. I have bought optics & Quality Cooler raffle tickets in the past even though I already have good glass and don't need anything else. I guess it depends on the mood I am in at the time. I imagine right now would be a great time to hold a raffle because everyone is feeling optimistic about the up coming elk/antelope draw. Good Luck

Just curious. When you scored him before Marvin, what score did you come up with? How close were you?

My story is much like yours. An HOA that sucks and a mild case of hoarding in my part. I have a lot of stuff I no longer use and would like to get rid of. Too much to list but it would be priced right.

I ran in to him a week ago sunday at Ben Avery shooting range. He was re-sighting in his gun because he took a nasty fall while on his hunt. Head over heal on the side of steep mountain was the way he described it. He showed me some pics of the ram he was after but he was in a hard to get to location. The ram was a real Dandy. The country he was hunting in was real nasty judging by the pictures but he felt confident he would get his ram if he could get to his location before sun up. Said it was just him and a long time hunting buddy trying to get it done. I wished him good luck. I know nothing about sheep and even stopped applying for them 10-12 years ago. I never had a strong desire to kill one but I admire guys who do it the "old school" way.

I once "lost" a sportsmans warehouse gift card with almost $200 on it and a Ben Avery shooter pass with 8 punches remaining. Thought they were long gone as they had been missing for almost 3 years. Went to the shooting range and when I opened a little side pocket on one of my gun cases I found both. It was like a gift all over again. Getting old sucks.

I have a 33 tag and look forward to hunting the 26th - 31st. Might hunt the 17th & 18th also.

Was watching yesterdays meeting on the G&F webcam and I noticed G&F presented the recommendation that they would no longer make three attempts to notify someone if there card was rejected. They said there system is virtually error free now and this service could now be eliminated. They did say they would post on portal and email people to make sure credit cards are updated just before they actually start charging cards. This was recommended and all the commissioners voted in support. Now hopefully the results will be posted a little sooner after the cards have been charged. We currently wait weeks after cards hit so they could call all those applicants with card issues. How much you want to bet the results are out no sooner? Good Luck in the draws & Happy Hunting

I came across these two back in 2013. One had been dead for quite some time and the other was barely hanging on. Sad to say it was not a happy ending. If you go back through all the episodes you can see how the events played out. I am the fat guy in shorts.

Congratulations on the beautiful buck. There are plenty of places to up there but the early hunt has some pretty popular areas. I did not draw this year but I'm headed up Saturday morning for a few days just to learn it better and checkout some new areas. I have learned that it is not always the snow that pushes them down. When everything freezes on top and they can't break the ice then they move down. If I can help someone hunting, I will do that too.

That is odd your friend would get a surrendered elk tag. The point guard and tag surrender program was not even in place for the elk and antelope draw. It first became available for the deer draw. Something does not jive.

I have not read all the posts but I can tell you when my best friend and I, who is also my hunting partner are too old to hump the hills, we will become road hunters. We will not break any laws but that is how we will hunt. Probably will not even care if we get anything either because we are almost to that point now. I imagine we will mostly drive around, talk about the good ol' days and drink a thermos of coffee. I don't really care what others think because life is too short to worry about things as trivial as this. Too each their own, I say. Good Hunting

Air compressor is sold.

Just ordered 2 pair of these meat cutting gloves. Although I have been fortunate and have never cut myself, I have had plenty of close calls. Often times I am by myself when cutting up animals and this is just a little more piece of mind. Next I have to learn how to make sausage links like you did. I am usually so tired after a hunt that it is just easier to drop it off at meat cutter and have them do everything even though I would prefer to do it myself. thanks

I have this exact same quad. Got it as fathers day gift back in 01. Still runs great and I will probably keep it until it dies. $2500 is a good deal IMO.

I just wish they would use the money to grow some more animals(more drinkers & habitat improvement) and maybe some predator control. Almost all my discretionary money goes towards hunting and outdoors so I don't mind so much. The non-game branch & admin suck up a lot of the money IMO. I don't golf, go to the bars or pro sports events. Hunting is my passion so I feel like I need to support the dept. & their efforts. Each person has to decide how to spend their money.

The 4th bullet point from above says what I was trying to say. Especially the last sentence.

I have my daughters 2002 VW golf 2.0 that we are going to put up for sale in a couple days. Good condition and dependable. 5 speed manual transmission, cold AC and 105K miles and good MPG. I can get pictures for you if you are interested. $2,400.

most likely unit 17 & 18 for me.
