    Fire between Horseshoe and Bartlett

    The one by Superior had a huge plume of smoke tonight, I could see if from the beeline.

    Checker Board Land Access

    Private means private. The government should have little to no say in what I do with my land. Requiring access is over the line. Working with landowners to obtain access is the proper way to go.

    Regs are out

    The managing for quality works yes. Is that the right thing to do is the real question. Most of our units are over hunted, but I see tags getting harder to get each year. It's a tough situation. I like the idea of keeping some units for quality and some units for opportunity.

    1970 Evinrude Outboard 18 HP

    I just got this motor with the boat I just purchased last week. Its a 1970 Evinrude 18 hp 2 stroke long shaft. Comes with a brand new 6 gallon plastic gas can, new fuel line assembly and new can of oil. I was told it has been sitting for 6 years and previously ran with no problem. I haven't tried starting the motor. $500 As Is.

    Trail Cam BAN

    There is no good cutoff for this. Which season is the cut off? There are seasons year round. Deer, Elk, Sheep, Bear? I don't see a cutoff date as a reasonable alternative.

    Trail Cam BAN

    I realize that, I don't think I've even seen a tank even on the strip with more than 10-12 cameras on it. How often do you need to check them? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? It's not like all 10 guys are checking them daily. Even if they were, it's not rear round, probably right before or during the hunt. Don't you think waterholes get that much pressure from archery elk hunters anyways even if cameras were banned? A guy sitting the bank of the waterhole for the two week archery hunt puts more pressure on the game than 10 guys driving in for 10 minutes and checking the cam.

    Trail Cam BAN

    Yeah lets ban laser range finders, long range guns, wind meters, turrets, scopes, 4x4 trucks, utv's and compound bows. Be a real man and shoot them with a hand made bow and arrow with a rock on the end! ....it never ends

    Trail Cam BAN

    Prevents or alters how wildlife accesses water sources. One could argue cameras do not do this. There is no way even 50 cameras on a water hole change wildlife behavior. Cameras do nothing but good for the wildlife.

    Elk draw website down

    Online app process is worse now than it was last year. Just have us sign to the portal and apply through there like every other state. Why are we typing all of our address, social, date of birth, everything in that the G&F already has? Why am I agreeing that I have a license when they are the regulating agency holding my license, they already know I have one and populated the number on the sheet? Why do I have to click the 3 boxes agreeing that I know my sportsmans ID? I'm tired of clicking on cars, street lights and storefronts. Why do I have to enter my residency time? Make us log into our account, select the hunts and pay for everything in one transaction, it's not that difficult.

    Arizona Mule Deer unit 21 or 20c

    Sent you a pm. Dugas had trucks everywhere last weekend.

    Technology and Animal Quality

    Exactly. Being in the unit is much more valuable information. How many times do you see the Fish and Game in the field? I never do. When a year and a half old 2 point mule deer is doing all the breeding you have an age class problem. Buck to doe ratio doesn't mean much when all the bucks die before they hit 2.5-3.5 years old.

    Technology and Animal Quality

    It's not just technology, its mostly tag numbers. Pull up regs from 10-15 years ago and look at the amount of tags then vs now. It's insane. More tags=less and younger animals. The Game and Fish have increased opportunity an decreased quality just like they said they were going to.
  20. 24A had leftover tags last year. That should give you a good idea what kind of unit it is for Coues.

    22 Points

    I don't think its that there are lots of 23 lovers. It's that most all the units are getting hit way too hard and quality has dropped in all the usual top end units.

    22 Points

    Unit 1 and 9 have lost quality. I'd be doing 23N maybe 23S if I were you
