Welp, we got locked out with bad weather on our recent trips to Missouri. Guide said birds were stale, and the weather was holding up the migration, but we were already in town visiting the in-laws and our time was limited. I canceled 2 days of the hunt, and gambled on the last day, just to give it an effort. Guide wanted us to hunt a week later for fresh birds, but we had to get home. Saw probably a couple hundred thousand geese, but they were not decoying as they had been there for a while. Still, we got off a few volleys. good times with the boy anyways.

We had hopes!!

Make it three. It’s an easy tag to get, yet a tough hunt. Ill take it, rather than a season on the couch.

I was looking for pie. But if you find one let me know. My iron rangers could use a new sole.

Who me?? Nooooo..... In all seriousness I just found out my FIL sold off some land, so my hunting ground just got smaller. 😢 but he did just build a lake so we could fish when we come out. So I’ll forgive him.

Dating a woman to gain access to a hunting lease can be tricky business if your wife finds out.

Yeah, some great hunting back east. I’d look at going in on a lease in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, or Missouri. Cheap, good hunting if you are looking, in certain states. I was paying 225 for 4 tags in Missouri, 2 deer and 2 turkey, and additional tags were 25 each. if you’re single, you need to be dating a midwestern farmers daughter. Worked for me.

I’m not gonna hammer people with ads. You may get notifications from adventure Payson, but you can unfollow to get rid of those if you want. But the give aways are cool, my cousin just won specialized bikes for his kids on that page.

Through the Adventure Payson (city chamber of commerce) facebook page, i'm giving away this camp kitchen from bass pro, and a Cabela's grill.

Unfortunately I can only give this to one person. Lol.

I’m for not taking your truck off road. Get an atv or a side by side for that. How bad do you want to beat up your truck? The sxs just takes it with ease. i drive an lbz duramax, no issues. Plenty of power if you need it. Solid Allison transmission. I just can’t afford the mechanic’s bill for a Ford.

It’s a dating app for narcissists and busybodies. duh.

Yeah but 97% of scientists say.... funny how In the northern hemisphere summer they always show pictures of the arctic melting and in the southern hemisphere summer they always show the pictures of the Antarctic ice melting. But they never show it during the climate winter. that, and little things, like the ice roads still freeze and melt at the same time each year.

Would be awesome for your elk or deer camp.

I hear ya, but not sure this is any where near the biggest in 100 years. I’ve heard locals say we got 6 feet in ‘67. I’ve lived here 22 years, and recall a couple of dumps that were at least close to this one. I remembered one year, around 01ish, sunrise was purported to have the deepest base in the lower 48, I think it was 108”.

They were on clearance last week. Not sure if they still are.

i want one, i just don't have a 20 gauge, or an O/U

While at our regional meeting, i was told by an AZGFD official that hunting laws must become more restrictive to accommodate the new "California" demographic that now inhabits our state. He was referring to the new 1/4 mile bowhunting law. While much of the country enjoys urban bowhunting zones, even in libtard Washington DC; we here in AZ possibly may no longer enjoy urban hunting. It's bunk. It's lazy management, caving into pressure from the anti's. While i've never used cervid urine to attract animals, and probably never will, i know a lot of guys who are believers. But now it's illegal, based on junk science. I'm often surprised how there's not more of an uproar in the hunting community over these new restrictive laws. In blue states, hunters would torch the capitol over some of these laws. It's a shame. I will fight it tooth and nail. Join the fight.

What a shame.

Today, no urban hunting, tomorrow hounds, then cats, then bears, then archery, then all hunting. Do you think sport hunting will exist in 40 years? i know a lot of guys that don’t hunt in urban areas, but then I know a lot that do. Honestly, I could see a 100 yard rule. That makes sense, a little comfort for neighbors. But a 1/4 mile seems excessive in today’s developed landscape. Also, it’s nice to have urban zones, like a lot of states. It’s kind of like catch and release waters for trout. Something reserved for the bow hunters, where the rifle guys haven’t blasted things to smitherines. Whats more, you’d be surprised how many people literally want me to shoot elk in their yards. Watch the video above, I think there’s a lot of unwarranted paranoia about urban hunting, but many people wholeheartedly accept it. And, it’s a lot harder than what you think, a lot of people think of your near a house it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. Let me tell you, it’s not.

Yeah, but should we just roll over? I know an old dude that bow hunts off his back porch, cause that’s all he can muster. Now he’s got to ask his neighbor for permission. Frustrating.

The rule is against cervid deer urine, I believe. But, as noted by the biologists, the whole thing is a misrepresentation of science.

Supposedly just passed. We will see when the deer regs come out.

only for rifle hunts. Urban bowhunting has been legal in Arizona until April 6, 2019, as i've been told. Now it's illegal, "because of our changing demographic", as i was told by our unit manager. Urban hunting is a staple in our hunting economy, that's why we have crossbows. (not legal in archery season, of course) But to say that this is now wrong, is ridiculous. One of the case points was that a homeowner found an arrow in the side of his house in pine. This was used in argument for the rule change. However, just because someone has an arrow in the side of their house, doesn't mean urban hunting should be banned. What it means is, their neighbor needs a better backstop when he's sighting in his broad heads.

cervid urine was banned a few years ago. 1/4 mile just passed, as i've been told. i haven't seen it in the regs yet. we will see. It has passed already in certain hunt units, not sure if it's statewide yet. I know it was up for vote as a statewide rule, can't find confirmation if it passed or not. I will edit the "can" to "may" cause i'm not sure yet.
