Yes, I've always used the gutless method.

That brings up another question. Does a bow need to be in a case while in a vehicle? I've run in to that one before, in fact wisconsin used to be that way at one time.

I also will have a small freezer and a generator along. I prefer to do my own processing if I can, but I'll see how things go. I do have names of processors if I end up going that way.

The unit I drew doesn't allow offroad vehicle use so unless I get really lucky and it dies on a road quartering it is.

I did sign it on the left hand side. But don't sign the right side unless I'm giving meat to someone else?

Yep, Wisconsin to AZ is a trip - all part of the fun! So on the tag you as long as I'm keeping the meat for myself I don't fill in any of the info on date, time and place of kill, etc. and do not sign it again, correct? Do I have to call in to report the harvest if I have a paper tag? Then attach the tag to the antlers immediately upon recovery with the transport section still attached? And no need to leave any sex organs attached to the meat? (Some states require that) Assuming I would quarter the animal for pack out is there any rule regarding what comes out first? Leave the antlers with attached tag in the field for the last load? Which means having meat at the truck/ in a cooler without a tag until the last load comes out? Any other weird rules or things a guy should know? Some states are just so picky with rules and I don't want to be caught doing something wrong without knowing. Nothing I've found is very specific.

Am I just getting too old to figure this stuff out anymore? I have a long awaited AZ elk tag and I'm trying to read up on the hunting regulations. All I've been able to find is 30 pages of legalize language showing the applicable laws toward the end of the regulation booklet. Isn't there some plain language explaination of what is required? I'm not even certain how to fill out the tag if I do get lucky. And what about proof of sex? Is just having a tag attached to a rack evidence? Or do they want sex organs attached to a part of a quarter like many other states do? All I've found so far is clear as mud. What am I missing? Trying to read through everything online and find what I'm looking for is a challenge. I miss the old days of paper booklets written for a common man to understand without hiring a lawyer.

5B South early archery. It's going to be a long six months!

That has to be one of the most frustrating stories ever. Sorry you got the raw end of someone else's screw up. Too late to help, but that's why I use a separate credit card for my draw applications. Any card of any kind that you use frequently is subject to something going wrong at the worst possible time. Scammers, thieves, bank errors, etc etc. One clean card with no balance, and I pay it off monthly for any tags or licenses I do use it for. I hope you draw a great tag next year to make up for it.

7W or 5BS early archery. Yeah baby!!! It's been a long wait....

Don't they send out an email a week or so ahead of time to let people know to make sure credit cards are updated? Yeah, I'm getting antsy to....

That's they way to get it done! Are they available in September? 😉🤞🙏

I went back and forth considering options in other states. Ending up putting in for a couple of units that based on last year's results I might not draw unless points don't go up by a full point again or I get lucky in the random pool. One of these years......

What an amazing bull! Congratulations!

Ok, I'm officially depressed. I put in for a unit with two more points than what it required last year in the bonus round. Thought that should be close to a lock. Please tell me they continue hitting cards throughout the day. Or should I just go ahead and jump off the bridge now??😢😭
