Interesting.Some of the comments after the article show how little the Anti's understand about Hunting. Thinking We will kill them all off...................BOB!

Ya, I figured that. If You enjoy Hunting so much You find a way to go. I raised 3 kids , I know what He means. Its tough. We never took Family vacations. Went hunting instead. There are ways. Gotta have a wife that plays along too, or understands.I am just trying to say deer tags are cheap compared to the cost of everything else in life. Hunting is pretty much the only thing I spend $ on, besides Beer....................BOB!

$100 aint rich. And I aint either , Its all in priorities. How much did that bow cost? I don't Have one no more I rifle hunt several States. Good Luck.,.................BOB!

That is one HOT Witch..................BOB!

Too bad the Monsoon didn't come 10 days sooner. would have been some help. Thanks to all that did fight it............BOB!

Raise the tag costs is fine with Me. You hunt deer one week a year, if that, whats $100 or so. They gotta cut tags some how.We can't buy rain but We can cut tags. Look how much $ You spend on gear ,Gas, Ammo and Booze. The cost of a tag is Minor. Just My op...................BOB!

We just had between 3 and 7 " of rani this past weekend. Wish I could of sent some that . Prayin for You Guys........BOB!

Wasn't trying to bad mouth Your lot. Just kinda know the market. Good luck. I lost $ in real estate. It happens now days...........BOB!

Especially in the junipers............BOB!

My old dog is quarter Coyote and she would lay there and eat beans for hours in Cave Creek. Neat dog. She is 15 and ready to be put down. Hard to do ,but can barely use her back legs.I never knew humans ate the beans. She knew something i didn't...............BOB!

I had a early Bull tag in one of the worst drought years. 1996. Unit one killed a 330 6x6 , very cemetric. not many bulls taken any bigger that year. Iv'e read 10-20% horn reduction in a drought year.Just 10% would of made him a 360. Back then I didn't know the difference, so I was happy. Glad I didn't draw this year , now I got 20 points. Good luck to all that drew, I will be waiting to see results. There will be some biggies I think not just a mass of big ones..................BOB!

Any updates? Went rite thru some nice stuff. Where I killed My 1s't turkey . It is a hot fire. Some of that stuff don't come back as good right away. Hopefully some timber left in area................BOB! PS, Be safe Guys.

I believe with RMEF 17-18% of $ stays in State. With AZ ELK SOC. 100% stays , thats what I heard. Don't know if its true. RMEF does donate to some projects here but they are a big ORG with overhead and employees I would think. I would put My $ to AES............BOB!

Thats My old stompin grounds, Hunted it for years ,had cabin in Vernon. I got the call last nite and My heart dropped.Really sad.Don't know what else to say...............BOB!

I didn't know they would give a credit card to a New Yorker! Good thing You moved Jim..................BOB!

Hey, working in the oilfield does funny things to Ya. Good thing I got My wife up here. Its a running joke up here about Montana Guys and their sheep. all joking.............BOB!

You might be safe if He ask's You to bring a Sheep along!............BOB!

Good job, Keep at it...........................BOB!

Trphyhunter, Didn't mean a personal attack.Ya I think game and fish should do more to help the water situation too. I ddon't think there fees are to high, there are in line with other States. Wages are to low in AZ. Thats why I had to leave and work in the oil after 34 years.and I couldnt afford a life time lic. when I left. I think every one that hunt should help out in some form if they can in a water crisis............BOB!

Trophyhunter , Do You donate to Orgs. or do anything to help or just take the tags? Can't rely on G&F for everything.........BOB!

I haul water in the oilfield here in N. Dakota. . Thats equal to 2 semi loads. That cost a lotta $. I'M sure they are hauling in smaller trucks to get into where they need to. Lotta time and work too. Support these Guys. They save alotta Animals...........BOB!

I Drew a Deer tag. Montana. Waiting on N. Dakota draw also.............BOB!

You guys in both places have great Mexican food.Here in N. Dakota where I have been for 3+ it is terrible. Iv'e tried all over the State and Eastern Montana. There restaraunts are just not like the southwest . Taste like Taco bell crap. And they got Mexicans cooking. Must not be able to get the ingredients here. I feel like flying back home just to get some. We make our own and We are Gringos and its better than theirs. So You Guy appricciate that . One more note AZ. has prettier Desert.................BOB!

Just put 10k in My acount and I tell You how to fix Your problems. If You don't here back from Me , ah oh well.................BOB!

Speedy recovery for You I hope. Take Your time .I am going back to work tuesday after 6 months off due to Rotator Cuff ,torn Labrum and Torn Biceps Tendon. Glad I gave up Archery. Won't even shoot My rifle till I go to Wyoming in Oct. for Lope. Gonna be 58 soon and it takes longer yo heal as Ya get older. Good luck and Take easy................BOB!
