NYAZHunter

Gentlemen / Ladies , Remind me to think things through before posting. Mea culpa . Sad to sound like a petulant spoiled child . My apologies for coming off like a whiny a--clown. Good luck to all who drew.

(Disappointment) Well, no tag after 28 years. Other than a lucky as heck 36C, December tag for my 1st AZ hunt , they have all been early hunt ( Oct) in 36B. By choice as I love the unit , my friends come from the east coast and as a rule it is a 100% 1st choice and have often been left over tags . Been hunting with the boys for over 40 years on our acreage in the Catskills Mtns, NY. So imagine my surprise as the minutes became hours and then days and not getting that longed for credit card hit.. WTF. Me and 2 non res on the app ,first 2 choices with over 700 tags. So , I am in disbelief and then find out ( ignorance) that only 10 % of the tags can go to non res , Oops, how did I miss that ? ( sour grapes) Oh, it is buried in the fine print on page 96 at the end of the regs pamphlet. I see that was or should have been required reading for a dumb sh-t like myself. So , Ok ,it's all on me , you know, the need to take personal responsibility . Better fortune next year , however , ( the money grab) our fine AZGFD has made the non res hunters purchase a license for $160 that is worthless and non refundable . WTF x's 2 . Imagine , paying for the privilege for an opportunity to get a tag. There is no place in my mind that makes this ok. When a non res hunter comes to the state , he leaves a lot of dollars here. I guess that won't be happening with my friends again as I can't imagine they will be stupid enough to apply again and support the AZGFD cash grab. Sad for us to not share in the beauty of hunting Arizona again. New Az hunting motto for the non res : We are happy to take your money for the license and we do not care if you aren't drawn , cause we got your money anyway. Question: how long has the 10% rule been in effect?

Congrats Bob, let me know when you get back.

Finally availed myself of Duwanes's glassing class this past Saturday with Duwane and son in law Nick. Great lessons learned and information taken in. Was amazed with the enthusiasm shown by the 2 of them. 3 plus hours of glassing deer , telling stories and talking hunting. I can't wait to put it all in practice. Put me down as a highly recommend.

Not sure if true, heard Bass pro bought them. If so, sad. They’ve gotten my business since they opened. Not a fan of really big box stores

Looking to take a step up from my Ruger RSI Thanks.

Yes, surprising quite a number

Bob, glad you had a great trip.
