Not sure but I think I still have a couple. If I do I'll let you have them. I'm in the Wickenburg area

I've kind of quit following hunting forums so I'm out of the loop. Does anyone know what this amendment to the 25-26 archery deer hunt is? It's slated to start in less than 2 weeks. Deer seasons have always been set in April and this is directed at archery. 10) Consideration of Proposed Amendment Commission Order 2 for the 2025-2026 Archery Deer Hunting Season. Presenter: Erin Butler, Big Game Management Program Supervisor. The Commission will consider and may vote to approve an amendment to Commission Order 2 (deer) establishing seasons and season dates, bag and possession limits, permit numbers or authorized limits, and open areas for the 2025-2026 hunting seasons.

Parkinson's is a nasty one. No cure and medications are hit and miss and eventually quit working. It has likely ended my hunting days. Good luck with your dad. Hope he gets a good one. Maybe consider a CHAMP permit? It might get him another hunt.

Just got back from Alamo. Ranger told me they removed 1100 burros from there. I have heard rumors of farmers that have failed getting anything done about crop damage that take .17's and gut shoot them. They wander a long way from the farms before dying. But it's just rumor.

Elitism and politics. Penalize those that are already penalized. Most archery mule deer hunts will be a draw within the next 5-7 years with or without banning crossbows. Hopefully sooner than later.

Yes

I went and should have stayed home. There was a bait shortage. They could only get 25% of the bait they usually get. Of those 7 yellowtail one guy caught 4 of them and it wasn't me.

Anyone ever use this boat out of Seaforth? We hired it for a full day the 4th of August.

How much are you looking to spend?

Best of luck to whatever view you take. I’m to the point in life I really don’t care. I am pretty much done

It’s as much archery as the compound bows being used today. If it’s a separate weapon class, create a season for it. If crossbow hunters are taking a 20% kill out of the archery hunt reduce the archery hunt take by 20% and create it’s own separate season. That would mean going to a draw. I bet not many people would favor that idea.

I'm curious as to why the concern over a crossbow hunter that has a valid permit. The arguments I have heard is it's going to keep units open longer and eliminate cheaters. That and avoiding a draw. With a limited resource and increasing pressure anyone thinking a draw isn't coming has their head in the sand. And probably sooner rather than later.

Then they've dealt with it.

Let it go. This was likely decided long ago. To you "deal with it, life ain't fair" guys, your day's coming should you live so long. Then it's your turn to deal with it.

Wonder if they ever updated it
