I have no doubts that different areas accross unit 10 hold good numbers of elk. But just imagine 10 times that many! every time a cow is killed it basically reduces the herd by 3 so there goal is 500 a year - you do the math 1500 x10yrs. is 15000- and that's be very conservative- that's if they only take 500 out of the 1600 tags! some yrs the success rate was close to 60% I'm just saying we need to cut back on the number of cow tags- to sustain a better number of elk - in certain units sorry for kinda off topic of camera thieves but unit 10 hits home for me!

.308 I will be updating the scope this yr. optics and a range finder are actually more important than caliper in my opinion cant see/m and know the distance - you won't tagg'm

Bingo we have a winner ----usually its 1600 in the general hunt this yr it total 1475 but then don't forget the youth tags 225, dtill equals 1600 anterless tags.... back father than 2004 when they had 1200 cow tags in 10. basically wiped out the big herds of elk - like I posted last yr . from my property I sat 3 days glassing 5-6 square miles of elk country west ashfork from my deck. During the sept rut hunt I saw I herd where 6 yrs ago i'd see several herds of 20-30 each evening and hear elk bugles get dozens of elk pics. biggest herd last yr 2 cows and a calf in 3 days of glassing using 30x80's in mid sept.-- they are gone forever unless gf get head out ace!! just checked my camera -- got 3 pics of 1 elk ---true its summer pics but they are gone

if your asking me why can't I share-- permission --- I have shared with those I know and they asked ! no elk around --to many yrs of 1600 cow elk tags a yr - like 14 yrs in a row that's just rifle hunts no cows means no elk

nothing is safe - posted private land 1/2 mile off any major road cept our cabled off driveway/2 track . that isnt easy to find anyway. camera has been on our saddle 5 yrs . now the new camera has a cable on it-- lets see how long that one will stay around. - - I got a private canyon with water in the creek . , with no real access cept our saddle - guess they figure its open land

the mobile home life. spend summers in the coolest locations across this nation and winters in warmest ! just enjoy life - as best possible , no matter where .

I had a navajo depot elk tag mistake on a leftover == the issued me a tag but due to new rules it wasn't good for or what ever -active military only I couldn't hunt but I paid for an elk tag- I asked since i'd already paid for an elk tag was it possible to just issue me an over the counter tag instead so I could at leasrt go hunting. you can guess the results of that

Not that hard to get permission, if owners aren't treehuggers. offer a hind quarter of a deer or elk and gates can be opened and shoot from behind the shed away from house in a safe direction. One yr. guy let us use his barn- just make sure we knew the difference from an elk and one his horses - lol

If it's a garage and can be closed . Think spit a/c unit. Mounts thru wall by a small hole . Rest sits outside. Easily installed depending on size unit 600 to 800 these days . Professional install. 1500

All faked news or so some say. lol

Mine isn't so much bad neighbors, as it's neighborhood going bad. No pride in how yard or house appears. Kids walking streets . Hear some of conversations, yelling that would make an old construction worker shake his head. From the fowl mouth of babes. Streetss use to be clear of cars now parked everywhere and driveways and yards look like parking lots. Time to go!

Those people whom "regularly" seem lucky at banquets, are usually spending 5 to 10 times what an average Joe can spend. I try to pick one a yr. Once I pay the 75 for meal it leaves me about 125 for raffles. That doesn't go far. Sure luck is fun but checkin 200 tickets instead of 20 makes it more fun for some. Lots of people drop 1 to 2 k at these banquets. Lots of people get write offs too. Guys who can spend 190k for one tag is going to change his thinking and devalue the system as it is. Adding more tags will screw things up. Bidding wars is what gets the big bucks due to very limited tags. More tags is going to mean more chances at cheaper tags. It's all about $$$!. They want more opportunities to harvest Az trophy animals. PERIOD. Backdooring arizona hunters is nothing new to this bunch. Reading the fine print always shows their true colors. Telling you what you want to hear but not following thru. Call it what you like it's stealing opportunities from joe hunter.

The average Joe is going to lose the opportunity to harvest a trophy animal if a raffle tag holder gets first chance . They're not talking about a single animal or species. It normally takes 6 to 7 yrs just to draw an archery elk tag. Taking even a single opportunity away is stealing as far as i'm concerned.
