    AZGFD water catchment maps

    Azaccessmap.com seems broken now. They have a new site called habimap from AZGFD but its less user friendly.
  4. Bought this case of ammo maybe 2 years ago and no longer have any .22lr guns. Would trade or sell. Located near East Tucson. Looking for a .25cal deer rifle (.25, .243, .270, 6.5prc/creed, etc.). Would trade for other stuff too, make me an offer. Can provide current AZ license and CCW card on meetup.

    Don’t know what I am doing

    Lots of dove and quail around Tucson area if you start with small game. Plenty of State and BLM land on all sides of Tucson with good access too. I am in Vail so go off the highway to Sonoita a lot of places in the Empires and Santa Ritas.

    Results are up.

    First Elk tag in AZ, rifle bull in 27. Guess I gotta get off my butt and do some scouting this year.

    Too Early Draw Results Countdown

    Yeah, I got a hit and see a tag number too. Was 1st or 2nd draw since I left the rest empty. Hunting in unit 27, but not sure which hunt yet. Only 2 points so my bet is on the cow hunt.

    Shipping ammo and primed brass

    Just ship via FedEx or UPS, pick a ground service, put an ORM-D sticker on it and be done. It doesn't cost any extra. USPS is a pain to ship that stuff if you aren't familiar.

    older houses and Alum wire

    I worked for 3 years as an engineer at a power plant & another 4 years as a shop supervisor at a power circuit breaker rebuild shop. In both jobs we owned / maintained a large amount of low voltage power equipment (low voltage is 600v 3 phase, 480v 3 phase and under). That said, we never, ever used aluminum wire for anything and in the power plant it was forbidden, even for non-critical loads like lighting. There are many reasons why copper is better, from conductivity, tarnish resistance and wire flexibility. If it were up to me, I would pay extra for the copper (and I did when running a 60A, 220v circuit for the welder / plasma cutter outlet & a 50A circuit for my air compressor in my current garage). Another good data point is to take a look at what is used where. Even on the cheapest AWM wire used in appliances in your house, it's copper. The step up to MTW (machine / tool), it's better copper with a higher strand count and better insulation. The highest reliability wire (THHN, THHW, XHHW or Welding / specialty) is high strand count, tinned copper, sometimes with PTFE jacket or other high temp insulators with specific solvent resistance. *EDIT* Many wires carry multiple ratings today so it's not as straight forward as I alluded to here, but there is an order of quality / reliability that you pay for and aluminum is bottom shelf on any list of electrical wire types. If you were to use aluminum, it would be the weak link in your system from the service box. It would normally be: Service box (copper bus / breakers normally, sometimes aluminum) -> aluminum wire -> brass/copper outlet -> full copper in the welder / motor / etc. tool.

    What ever goes topic!!!

    That is Fake News! I can tell because a Chevy has never passed anyone in racing, ever...unless that camera was strapped to a Dodge.

    Enough moisture?

    Maybe I shouldn't have looked, <25% or 25-50% of average precipitation for the last 180 & 365 days in the units I put in for...

    Enough moisture?

    Where is that map from? I want to look at the bottom half of the state and different time periods. Thanks!
  14. Is the draw hit going to look like this?

    Assault weapon ban

    The Second Amendment Foundation, and GOA are far and away better than the NRA. That said I personally donate to all 3, they each have their niche jn support of gun rights.

    Pissed off

    Is that where the extra 17,000 applications came from? Or will they issue extra tags? *Edit: Sarcasm was intended here because of the extra/switched votes issues with Dominion and the last election. I understand where all the applications came from, sorry for my bad joke. NOTE: Dominion Voting Systems, please don't sue me for defamation, I voted for Biden 1.3 times on dozens of mailed (not absentee) ballots - I am on your side!

    huge oak tree removal Tucson area

    There is place that posts on Craigslist Tucson that sells that stuff (tables, benches, etc.) and also said they buy logs / wood. Think they were around Oro Valley, but going off memory. *Edit: Found it, look up "live edge furniture" on CL and you will see their posts. I have not personally done business, but says it's local / family owned.

    2021 Draw

    I read it on the internet so it must be true.
  19. Nuker

    A bunch of BS!

    I think NM charges on application & then does the same thing. They might start getting more of my business than AZ, even though I am an AZ resident... I think their lack of bonus points is also a plus

    Trail Cam Ban?

    Wish i knew that a few weeks ago when i saw one in the field. Never use cams so never even looked up the regs. I am assuming it was a cell capable trail cam, had about a 6" antenna poking out the top.

    AZ is sad

    Does NM charge your card at the time of application and the refund you if not drawn? I think that's what I read but wasnt sure. Seems like that would solve many of the card issues in AZ. I personally had card fraud between application and draw dates last year for elk so my card was canceled on draw day. I tell myself it probably didn't matter but will always wonder if I missed a tag.

    AZGFD - Card Hits?

    Yep, and earlier too. Here is my great-grandfather's Winchester 1894 that I have now. Serial number says build was circa 1907. My family said he got a decent number of deer all around the Sulphur Springs Valley in the first half of the 20th century. They hunted up to Willcox, over to Bisbee, down to Douglas and all around there. Dos Cabezas and Mule mountains I think are the two ranges on either side. It's old enough that it is marked 30 W.C.F. instead of the newer, more common 30-30 marking.

    Hunter Safety

    Doesn't the course for AZ still require a field day though? That is the part I would rather avoid with 0 scheduled field days per AZGFD and no end in sight from this Covid restriction garbage. Especially with me living in Pima county full of idiots, the Tucson mayor already said she would keep the mask mandate and curfew even if the state gets rid of them. Unfortunately the Pima County board of stupidvisors is just an echo chamber for whatever Tucson wants down here. I was more interested in whether I could submit my previous certificates over to the AZ G&F (how?) to get the bonus point put on my draw application.

    Hunter Safety

    I am curious, if I have my hunter safety certificate from another state, what do I do with it? Do I need to mail, email, fax to AZGFD? I actually have two from two different states, think I can get a double bonus? 😉
