    baiting, salting

    Ron, thanks for the info. I have a question for you though. If I am reading the AZGF Deer Hunt Data correctly, it was 2006 when the department changed the hunt in 22 from a strictly a December hunt to a October/December hunt, with the majority of tags in October. The number of tags was increased from a total of 450 in 2005 to a total of 550 in 2006. If this is true, you would expect the success for the general hunt to be lower; this is the (AZGF's) quantity over quality at work -- high hunter numbers/low success rates. I can also speculate that the higher number of unsuccessful rifle hunters turned to the archery hunt since their tags were not used; thus, a skewed archery success rate. Am I way off base? I do understand your points about the spread of disease and such, but I am against the rule change for these reasons. 1. It is not enforceable. If we make a rule change it needs to be enforceable not just a means to fix an issue, but cause other problems. The chance of a WM stumbling across someone hunting over bait is basically zero. What if someone puts bait out (illegally) in an area around where you want to hunt. How far away do you have to be from the bait to be legal or how do you know it has been created illegally? 2. As you mentioned, you can still hunt over water. We currently have enough problems when it comes to our "first-come-first-served" rules. If baiting stops, I feel that more hunters will hunt over water, and there will be even more problems. Now we have created more work for our law enforcement officers. 3. I have hunted over salt for several days in a season and only had a few deer come in, like 4 deer, the same 2 bucks twice. My $.02, anyway. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks.

    Canon 30d DSLR camera

    I have a Canon 30d DSLR camera (Body Only) that I am looking to sell. I purchased the camera in early 2007 for $1100+, and it is still in great condition. I am asking $450. It comes with a battery, charger, and a 1 GB SanDisk card. A similar camera online sells for $489. http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20320956.html I will ship for free to any CW member in the US. PM me if you are interested. Thanks,

    Great Weekend

    Dodger2, Sweet! I put Colton (11 yo) in a blind below my treestand yesterday. Nothing came in, but we had some fun, and he slept for two hours! Grong told me his snoring was scaring the deer, but it was really like a buck grunt.
  11. By the way, we do NOT want to see that video!

    Nice Buck

    Your Camera? I thought your name was Chuck, and the name on the camera is Greg. It's probably one you stole from some innocent Coues hunter!
