That’s gotta be Kathy!🤣

Kathy! 🤣 she was truly the best! Old school!

I know exactly who you are talking about!!🤣

Great unit! Tons of antelope even after the bad winter kill from a few years ago. How many points did you have to draw that unit?

Nice! That should have been the second round after the declined cards. Still hoping we will see results posted Friday 🙏🏻 but I’m sure it will be next week.

Has there been any late hits for the declined cards yet?

Do you think we will see the results posted by Friday?

I’m surprised only 2 units going to draw for archery draw. I figured they would have addressed the OTC hunts a little better since dang near every unit is going way over quota on mule deer.

Who owns the Santa Margarita?

That’s a very good question! Should be required to hold forest permits just like anyone else that is using public land to make a profit.

Here is another issue…..I check the quotas daily just to see how everything is adding up. I have seen several units that are closed for for a couple weeks that will have another deer reported to the quota! Are people not paying attention to the closures? Are people forgetting to report? Is AZGFD paying attention to this and asking questions?

I don’t think this is an issue but could be wrong. If so units like 36c have had a mule deer quota of 5 the past three years. This year it closed in December but the previous years in January. If PITA was using tags to close down units they could close that particular unit in a heartbeat.

Another reason for mandatory harvest reporting for all seasons! Look how eye opening archery alone is.

I agree 💯 on one tag! I agree 💯 on no spotlighting, I think you’re just asking for problems there too. Radios are definitely helpful without a doubt but years like this everyone is sitting water and hammering deer especially mule deer. And there will be more years like this in the future. Only way I can see quotas working is if the department went 💯 across the board with e-tags and units would close within 24hrs. E-tags update immediately unlike others taking 24-48hrs to call in and report a harvest.

I think this is a good thought.
