Seldom is in the sauce pretty thick tonight. Posting up zingers in all threads... No sense in arguing with him, he knows all, has done all.

Yeah... 19A is terrible!! I wouldn't waste my hunter safety point on that crappy Antelope unit! No big goats left in there. Seldom drawn killed them all or knows someone who did.

Make sure you have plenty of help to pack out your animal.... That is the hardest part of hunting alone during the early archery hunts. You will most likely lose meat if you do not. As far as your draw odds, those 2 hunts have very close draw odds with 4 points. Both were around 21-24% on the actual odds last year. Good luck on your hunt.

Wac ems for me. shuttle T or Slick tricks would be my 2nd and 3rd choice.

5 fish in 2 days???? That is insane, we usually have 5 fish before the boat has been started for 15 minutes. I have not been yet this year, but last year in July, it was insane as usual.

Flatlander- Only the 400+ " bulls are going to get killed during early Muzzy. Should be close to 10,000 inches of bone gone from 9 after early muzzy hunt. OP- Late unit 9 can be a tough hunt. Stay in the flats and canyons and you will find elk. Unit will amaze you at how well they can disappear when it starts getting cold.

GIANT unit, do some work, find new areas, move on! Be the bigger person, it is not hard to find new areas in 6A, Elk are literally from the far north boundary, all the way to the far south boundary and everywhere in between. Gives you more reason to get out of town and scout!

I bet trphyhntr has been putting in some serious work @ country thunder.. Hopefully your cardio is paying off!

I would say no as well. Post a picture of both pedicles facing the camera, this is how I would determine if I have a set in question. As mentioned above, they "should," but not always, be fairly close in size.

I am heading there for a week in May, and wanted to pick anyone's brain that has fly fished for bonefish. I have never fly fished before, but am going to take it up on this trip. I plan on buying an inexpensive take down fly rod and learning before I go. I am curious on what line I should be looking at and what lures I should pick up before I go down there? Thanks for any input

Why write a 1 page paragraph about 1 member? Amanda has engineered this button called IGNORE. Use it if you can not stand someone on this site. It is that easy!

I would go bergers. I have seen them devastate elk. I have never had a bad experience with one, so I guess I am partial to them.

JCUBED- I think it is pretty clear that we agree that game and fish botched the investigation, but that facts of the case still remain a constant. He committed a violation and got off on a technicality. I do not think there are too many people who believe he did not commit a wildlife violation after reading the transcript. If you do not think he did, your reading comprehension is in question. As far as his rights being violated, there are procedures that need to be followed, and apparently the investigators did not follow them. BIG TIME BOTCH!!!

Bunch of Whiners!!! Some guy figured out how to see his results ahead of when they are supposed to be released, and now AZGFD screwed up the results again!!! WAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

If you are positive it is him, I would meet up for , if for nothing else, a chit chat session.

Last year, I was hit first day for the bull tag, and then hit 4 days later for my antelope tag. Same card, so your theory of people not knowing about pending charges is out the window.

Wear out your boot soles and hope you find the answer to your question. Best way to actually determine this is to observe the animals in the weeks leading up to them dropping their antlers. Each year is different.

Arizona Archery on Deer Valley.

More holes = more blood loss = quicker death.

Berger!

Jackshoe- If you really think that a Game ranger can not or will not take out a guy hunting, without getting permission, you are seriously mistaken. I have a buddy who is a ranger, and he takes out people every year. He assists on many hunts and gets no compensation for it. It may not be in your character to help someone without receiving compensation, but most Game managers will. Most LOVE their job, and clearly do not do it for the money... Your rant is baseless and very Naïve..

Because rifle hunting is cheating!! In all seriousness, a trophy rifle hunt would be a good thing, if the # of tags were right. I would think about maybe starting considerably less than the amount taken away from regular hunt and judging future hunts based on mandatory reporting #'s from said hunts. Without Mandatory reporting, we are all just pissing in the wind. I wish there was a way to make it to where if you draw blood, your hunt is over. I do not see how they can enforce it, but that would be fantastic. With technology in both rifle and archery improving, I have a feeling that the amount wounded and not recovered is going up as well. If only there was a way to enforce it!! Wait, I got it, we need to hire more officers. Dang it, that costs money. I thought I had it for a second.

Nice bull. But really? who makes that kind of promise?

WOW! Insane MASS!!!

LOL. Always amazes me, everyone on this site pisses and moans about AGFD giving out too many deer tags.. So, AZ deer Association decides to ask the hunters if they would be in favor of this?, and it is an overwhelming YES!!!! More opportunity is always a good thing. I just hope the same people who are for it, have not commented on trophy hunts vs. hunter opportunity on this board. WAFFLERS'!!!
