    Who is crazy enough to chase goats with a smokepole

    Whether they could do it or not isn't really the point. They claim (and I'm not trying to defend AZGFD) that it is statistically irrelevant. I did the math for antelope, based on the suggested "sitting out two years if drawn suggested above". The odds of drawing an antelope tag (combining rifle, muzzy and archery together) after requiring drawn hunters to sit out for two years would increase the odds of getting drawn from 2.9% to 3.1%. Would that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

    According to Game and Fish, buckshotaz's idea would eliminate such a few people from the draw that it would not statistically change the odds. It would just require lots more work and enforcement from the department with no real benefit to the hunters other than perhaps "feeling better" about it because they don't have to hear of people getting drawn two years in a row.

    Swarovski slc 15x56 case

    Mine are not the newest HD version, but the older dark green SLCs. My case is just flimsy black nylon with no padding at all. The zipper tab broke off almost immediately. Maybe they're giving you something nicer now?

    Is Fed bison purge/hunt on park still happening this month?

    Congratulations on your success, and thanks for the details on your hunt!

    Love hunting in the snow...

    Awesome buck, congratulations!

    Swarovski slc 15x56 case

    The case that mine came in is a complete piece of crap. I don't know why you'd want one (although it doesn't look like the one pictured above, which is much nicer than the one that came with mine).

    Northerner heading South in January (recap)

    Statewide hunt success for OTC archery deer is around 6%. Bucks are easier to find while they're moving during the rut. The further north in the state you are, the earlier the rut occurs. Northern Arizona mule deer rut in late November, while it's late December in the desert units in the lower half of the state. The Coues deer rut peaks in early to mid-January.

    Congratulations on filling your tag! Can you tell us more about how many buffalo you saw, how the others did, etc.? I think in the fall they are all cow tags? Did you see bulls, nice bulls, etc.?

    Spring results

    Congrats to her! I drew it as well. How many points did she have?

    Is Fed bison purge/hunt on park still happening this month?

    I don't understand how the Federal government can do this with bison owned by the State of Arizona? Wildlife is owned by states, regardless of whose land it is on. If an elk wanders onto my private land, I can't kill it because it doesn't belong to me. Likewise, the bison that wander onto the National Park don't belong to the Park Service. Why isn't the AZ Game and Fish filing a law suit to prevent this?!?!

    Are there any decent bucks left in unit 21?

    Remember, the further north you go, the earlier the rut begins.

    First day velvet success...

    Awesome buck, great job!

    Beam Me Up Scotty

    PRDATR, maybe that's because KFC does sell grilled chicken (although not in all locations), and have off and on in some locations for probably 10 years. https://www.kfc.com/menu/chicken/grilled

    Toyota Tacoma vs Nissan Frontier

    I've never owned either of those actual models, but I've owned trucks from both companies (mostly Tundra's or the older Toyotas before the Tacoma). The Toyotas seem much more solid, better skid plates, etc. than did the Nissans. I've had very good luck with Toyota trucks, with my previous Tundra having good resale value even with 228,000 miles on it, with almost everything original but a little transmission work 110,000 miles into it. I don't even look at the Nissans anymore.

    Namibia July 2018 ( a return to Africa)

    Awesome trip! cji, I believe the pics of the dead treas is actually in Deadvlei, which is near Sosusvlei (where they are standing in front of the sign). It's famous for a time when it rained so much that the river flooded and formed these two salt pans (marsh). It eventually dried-out leaving these dead camel thorn trees. They're in the middle of the giant red sand dunes. The trees are famously photographed, and are believed to be 600-700 years-old. They aren't petrified, they just don't rot away because the area receives nearly zero annual rainfall, so it's just too dry for them to break down and deteriorate.

    The 2018 leftover list is now up on G&F website.

    That is bad luck. Next year you'll have one more bonus point than usual, so should be a slam dunk.

    Looks like there are more to me too.

    Thanks, RR. I just looked for them about two hours or so ago and they weren't there yet.
