"AZGFD tries to catch the second cycle to maintain a population." This has always confused me. G&F contradicts this by allowing killing of hens in the fall. AZ is not a turkey rich state, and the killing of the baby makers should never be permitted IMO.

Mingus Mountain Longbeards is also having a banquet this weekend. National Wild Turkey Federation (nwtf.org)

I also remember a time when there were no crew cabs and everyone piled into front like those four fellas.

I don't know why but I was expecting to see more snow near Alpine on the road to Big Lake.

and so it begins...........

I have gone back and forth on whether I should sale mine too. I have less than 15 cameras but running cameras was my summer hobby. I supported the ban but I sure do miss it. I may pull them out of storage and put them in places/units I no longer hunt or plan to hunt. Gives me something to do and I just like to see what I can get pictures of. Good luck with your sale.

I haven't put a 3rd, 4th or 5th choice in 12-15 years. If they are left after rounds one or two, I just don't want to hunt them and use my points. I'd just as soon buy an OTC tag or go varmint calling. JMO. Congratulations to all that drew.

Actually, I think an archery bull tag as a third choice is more farfetched than a rifle cow tag. Congratulations no matter, you are going elk hunting.

Can anyone get into their portal account right now? I just tried for myself, and two boys and I keep getting an error message.

We got our table

This draw seems to be unique to all the past draws. Can't believe how so many people have been hit so sporadically.

I am putting a table together and so far have 6 people. I am waiting for a few other guys to reply by March 1st. If they don't, you are welcome at our table. Contact me by March 2nd as we are booking the 6 of us singles or a table if we have it. No matter what we are booking on the 2nd. John 623-680-4458

Didn't realize there were so many coueswhitetail guys near me. I am at 80th ave just south of happy valley. Somebody got a great deal.

my favorite model. Good Luck with sale.

I know things have changed dramatically over last few years but I sold my 2001 creampuff 4runner 3.5 years ago, mint condition, 4x4, low miles for the year never offroad with it and I got $3900. Wish I had it back but I wouldn't sell it this time. Good Luck with your sell.

Hello, I am just starting to do my research for good AZ bear hunting guide, but I do not want to hunt with hounds. I'm okay with spot & stalk, calling or sitting in a blind. I've got no problem with people who use hounds but that is not how I want to get my first and probably last bear. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

If you read about Arizona's earliest history when they were first trying to discover routes across state and follow rivers, they write about encountering wild cattle. This was especially true in south east Arizona. Supposedly early Spanish settlers abandoned them when they left due to hostile conditions mostly related to Indian encounters. They write about how dangerous the wild cattle were and would attack men and horse, often killing them. Arizona has a serious feral donkey and feral horse problems. They say a feral horse/donkey population doubles every 4-6 year if gone unchecked. Somebody in a position of leadership needs to grow a pair and deal with it but they are all afraid of the woke blind fools.

Thanks for reports and Pics. Like already mentioned, this is all very encouraging and the entire state desperately needs it. Would appreciate it if you keep pics and reports coming.

Yeah Baby!! That's what I'm talk'n about.

Most of my guns look like that.

Seems to me the online application system is usually available around the 3rd week of January.

As a kid growing up in the 70's my dad and I would go walking around Mnt. Ord. We use to find all kinds of old bottle and such. A lot of the old bottles back in the day used to have their date on the bottoms. I still come across a few old ones from time to time.

G&F should not allow NR's any OTC options. Name one other western state that allows NR's the chance to hunt mule deer or coues deer during the rut by just buying an OTC tag. Albeit now they have to move quick to buy online. Arizona has a very finite resource and an ever-growing human population. By making NR's apply for all their hunts it will make them use their accumulated bonus points whereas now they apply for some primo rifle hunts and then buy OTC.

Don't mean to hijack thread but what is the advantage of an e-tag from a hunter's point of view? I never found using a paper tag all that difficult and never once had a problem with the current way of using a tag. I always completed surveys online once I got the reminder in the mail. Easy peazy. The way I see it there are more negatives to an etag. No phone service to "tag" animal and people questioning whether or not your animal is actually tagged are just a couple red flags for me. What am I missing? I'm not trying to be negative, just trying to understand better.

I don't have tires or wheels but I have original front and rear A-arms suspension for Polaris General 4 1000 if you need any? Less than 300 miles use on them. $40 for all.
