A little depressing. Even with 28 Ant points I could be years from 100% draw. Next 5 years though!!

I haven’t been able to get the 2023 Sheep report. Anyone have it that can email it to me??

I have 13 points and hoping to use them this year. AZ sure needs to increase our NR fees.

Congrats WhipRanger on a great buck With our AZ units having 3+ different hunts with hundreds of hunters on each, lack of predator control and drought, Coues Deer bucks don’t stand a chance. Fully mature big bucks are becoming pretty rare now a days. The bigger bucks are coming from private property where they aren’t over hunted and have a chance to reach maturity just wish we cared more about quality and hunt experience over quantity of hunts

So who is checking in the guns and checking hides/paperwork when coming back?

Been told the MI tannery most use has a pretty long delay right now. I feel like the best get it done under 15 months even if they are taking in a lot of mounts.

Big Bo is not like this yet but outfitter has tried to lock up. It’s all about money and outfitters don’t care about anything else.

Tough as I think it all depends on weather. Colder the better. We go down the third week and many times I wish we were there the prior week or following week. Had great hunt the last week in Dec also. Going to be fun no matter what.

Just bought one of these and arrived today. Just my luck. Paid more then that without the bottle. Great deal on a great stove. Comes in handy when traveling as it is easier to get fuel for these

Might want to see what these have sold and posted for in the past for this older version of 15s.

Just finished three days of fishing out of Homer with family. Weather ranged from perfect to wind and rain. Be prepared for anything. Heading back to AZ with a bunch of ling cod, halibut, salmon, cod and rock fish. great memories. Message me with any questions. Caught my biggest Halibut at around 100lbs.

I think it will be today. “Should” be pretty easy to post results now and had all day yesterday to double check and test for the release today. They would benefit from releasing semi quickly considering the continued issues with the draw. Most think our G&F rank as the lowest of game and fish departments in the west and could use a win with getting results out timely.

Try BlackOvis. Leofoto makes a stud also.

Family and I got no tags so doesn’t matter to me but hard to understand why they haven’t posted the results still. They’re IT or vendors, maybe both, that work on the portal and application process really should be fired. How many years have they brought in-house, not using a service, and still can’t get it right.

There are other companies out there making studs that will work on their adapter. If you do a search you will find quite a few companies selling Outdoorsman studs.

Should be anytime now and start seeing hits, hopefully

I’ll take them.

With society the way it is better not to mention that dogs were used even though they deserve a good amount of recognition for killing bit lion.

Congrats. I grew up in the Thumb area and one of these years will make it back to hunt where my hunting passion began.

Thanks Dan for the needed clarification. That makes sense and probably a much better hunter experience overall with the limiting of helpers.

Seems so odd they have a rule that you can have a hunting buddy along with you but they can’t glass. I understand the limiting of guys helping for sure but not allow the one person you can take to glass is crazy. So when guys are guided is the guided hunter allowed to glass?

What are you guys using for a tripod/head when using the BTX and what do you think would be perfect setup?

Will check it out today. Not a fan of carbon for tripods and perfer aluminum. Thanks

Thanks I was leaning to that head and you help made the decision easy. Ordered the head today. Just need to figure out the legs.

I just applied with my phone and no issues, got receipt. But never had to put in DOB
