    I never said it was the crime of the century in fact I never wayed in one way or the other. I believe the thread was is Shane Koury the next guide to lose his license. You’re dove hunting and the limit is 15 and you have 14 and your next shot miraculously drops 2 birds. A WM is watching and comes over and writes you a citation for over limit. Is that the crime of the century? Hardly but still a citation and how much conversation do you think that would drum up about over reach and chicken chit WM ect ect.

    So if you’re out camping over Labor Dayweekend and your kid got a new drone for Christmas and flys it is that illegal since an antelope hunt is going on? Let’s even say he has an elk hunt coming up in a few weeks.

    B. Except in hunt units with Commission-ordered special seasons under R12-4-115 and R12-4-120 and hunt units with seasons only for mountain lion and no other concurrent big game season, a person shall not locate or assist in locating wildlife from or with the aid of an aircraft, including drones, in a hunt unit with an open big game season. This restriction begins 48 hours before the opening of a big game season in a hunt unit and extends until the close of the big game season for that hunt.

    I believe he was trying to locate deer.  

    This makes my point. cannot be used to help take or locate wildlife during an open season. This restriction applies 48 hours before the start of a big game season and lasts until the season ends. 
     

    I don’t believe he was trying to locate deer. Burden of proof is on the prosecutor. Unless they have evidence that he was trying to locate big game he’s not guilty and has every right to fly wherever the heck he wants.
     

    Now I’m just playing devils advocate and trying to tell you how I believe this all really works. I don’t personally know the guy or care about his case

    I don’t believe he was written a citation for just flying around. I believe he was written a citation for flying during an open big game hunt which indeed falls under their jurisdiction.  We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if he hadn’t broken a rule everyone must follow.

    It’s not illegal to fly around during open big game hunts.

    Actually AZGFD does have the jurisdiction to tell people when or where they can fly hence the reason for the ticket. I think it has more to do with how you're flying in a certain area, big difference in flying from point A to point B at a couple thousand feet and circling your hunting area hundreds of feet off the ground.  I would have to assume that Mr. Koury hired a lawyer to fight this citation. For this to end up in court I would have to guess the prosecuting attorney felt the evidence against Mr. Koury was strong enough that the state would win its case.  For whatever reason it looks like Mr. Koury chose a nonjury trial and a Judge found him guilty not the WM who wrote the citation.  I don't know why you feel the WM who wrote the citation should be reprimanded for doing his job which is enforcing the law and rules.  There are plenty of citations that WM's write that get tossed out or the defendant is found not guilty, and I don't think I've ever heard of the WM being reprimanded and the department apologizing for it.  As for Mr. Koury I'm guessing there is a great deal riding on his appeal.

    This is the problem that he is referring too. These fish cops can just throw stuff against the wall and wait to see what sticks. A lot of the time, it seems like there is no accountability or skin in the game for them making these accusations but the people they are accusing of committing these crimes will have their lives significantly affected by such accusations even if the individual is innocent. These false accusations can financially ruin someone, not to mention the time suck and public smear campaign (as we can see in this thread) it can have on someone who might not have even broken the law. The WM can throw these charges around and worst case scenario for the WM is they get dropped. Best case scenario for the accused person is they “win” the case at the expense hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars, hundreds of hours of their time, etc. After all, the WM and legal system is funded by the people they are accusing, tough to take on the government or IRS or any government bureaucracy because no matter what they have unlimited resources compared to a private individual.

    Now I don’t know enough facts to make a judgment about this particular case against Koury. But I have seen some of these fish cops with little man syndrome and jealousy connive their way into issuing some BS charges. Not saying all are bad but some are. I see the need and support enforcing laws but it should be done in a way that isn’t punitive or based on an individuals feelings like it seems to be some of the time. 
     

    here is a real life example explaining a what I’m talking about. Worth the 5 minute YouTube video.

    To clarify to all of you that like to troll for no absolute reason, there is in fact a reason I am asking for hunting spots. 1. I am a medically retired combat veteran who cannot access certain areas due to limitations. (wounded warrrior project hunts, yes I know). 2. I am not going to kill a sow, or a cub, or a small bear. That is not the intrinsic thought behind that statement that I made., Obviously I want to kill a boar of good size because more size equals more meat. I stated that I am not hunting for a trophy because I do not want to be labeled a "trophy Hunter" in a negative conotation. 3. I am not offended by the teasing, I could care less, it is just unneccessary and a waste of time. Which I am now wasting to elborate on reasoning for even joining this post thread which seems to have been a mistake. However, I would like to thank those of you who were kind enough to respond in a respectful manner instead of playing keyboard warrior. And no @jgraffaz I did not vote for Biden, however with your maturity level, I think you should wait a few years before making the decision to do so yourself.  

    🤣

    @jgraffaz I came here looking for advice, not idiocy and sarcasm. Beef is not cheaper, nor does it taste "better". I love to hunt and I love to eat what I hunt such the same as the forefathers of hunting in the country. Though they may not have had a choice, I can guarantee they would not buy the beef unless they absolutely had to.

    Our “forefathers” were not begging for hunting spots on the internet. Beef is in fact hundreds of dollars cheaper a pound (you wouldn’t know since you’ve never killed a bear). If you like to hunt I get it, but a bear isn’t the animal to go and shoot for meat. You hunt bears for the sport of it and the trophy of it and the meat is a bi-product (which I enjoy). If you are a meat hunter you should hunt cow elk. The last thing we need is more guys bear hunting ready to ground pound every single cub and 70 pound sow on the mountain. Bear hunters should try and be selective for mature boars. And I’m pretty sure our “forefathers” killed bears because they were killing their cows and not eating them. It’s way easier to kill a deer or an elk and it tastes better too. No need to get offended that people are teasing you because you can’t figure out hunting on your own like most good hunters have. Did you vote for Biden?

     I am planning to go on an OTC Black bear hunt the third week of Oct. I want toi know where the best places to have a successful hunt are. This is my first year hunting Black Bear. I do not care about trophy or not, I just want meat. I have done some looking at 19B, 17B and 17A. Out of these options which would be the best? The more detail in the description the better. Like I said, I am a novice to bear hunting. Or if someone is willing to go with me and teach me, I will split the meat. 

    If you only want the meat, buy some beef from the grocery store, it will be cheaper and taste better.

    What happened to them ?

    Unlimited OTC tags for essentially the last 30 years coupled with some back to back harsh winters and a healthy predator population, especially gold eagles that eat the lambs.
     

    AK is a huge state so it varies a little depending on where you are at. They are still trying to figure it out exactly but what’s for sure is it’s not looking good anywhere.
