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

We are doing a six pack full day on the El Gato Dos first of August. I’m jacked!

Is your scale accurate? I used to run into that when I changed strings. Don't know if it's right but I used to fudge the string length just a bit, walk back tune it and go shoot. There was a time I was obsessive about specs but was spending more time messing with things instead of shooting.

Same here. Big rutting desert muleys with a bow is one of my passions.

I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading. I had a 2 year war with G&F over crop damage from javelina. It wasn't any small amount either but was tens of thousands of dollars a year. I was told so sad too bad. Other than lip service there was absolutely nothing they would do. Also found out the state owns the animals. Looking back I should have hired an attorney and fought it in court. I opened the farm up to any hunter that would ask permission. Even at that the trash and vandalism was crazy. Having experienced what the hunting public can do and wildlife damage I would support LO tags if they were structured properly. And how many hunt where improved livestock waters are the only source of water? Cattlemen have down far more for wildlife than the harm to the environment that cattle cause.

Some years ago I saw a trailcam pic a game warden had of a coues off the gunnery range in Gila Bend. That thing looked like an eastern whitetail. Also have a rancher friend that says there are some huge coues in the thickets of Centennial Wash and the Gila. They see them on cattle roundups.

What I find interesting is this is the driest I have seen 42 since 2002. It's also the longest it has remained opened since the quota system went into effect. It came within a couple of days of making it all the way.

I like it. Kinda like choose your weapon.
