Conserve and Protect (Tags) Presentation at G&F Mtg
idgaf replied to 40-year-AZ-hunter's topic in The Campfire
My personal opinion on this is they do not want the tags. They want the money that goes with the tags. Any money generated would go into sort of a 'warchest' that these friends of hunting would use as needed by the chosen. This is a working theory so I am still developing the concept. Also, simple logistics dictates that whatever HSUS is doing for the next election will not be directly effected by what ever happens with this initiative. So lets stop using this scare tactic. -
Details are not available right now as the investigation is ongoing. But for all you need to know see the posts by his brother nobull350. 1. Avoid addressing the topic at hand. 2. Justify actions by pointing out supposed misdeeds of others 3. Say that other peoples animals are smaller. This family cares about trophies and looking like famous hunters. The rules dont apply to them, can do no wrong etc. I saw where he was deflecting towards A3 when pushed a bit.

After reading all that, I think I got the premise. But not the details. Is he alleged to have shot that buck on the rez, while in 3c, with a rifle during archery season?

What spine carbons do you suggest? I'm having a heck of time finding aluminum anymore.

get some help, you got issues.

i'm trying elk hunting with my recurve this year. It will be interesting.

isnt it not burning naturally the reason these so much fuel in the first place? Its hard to understand that the small town folks seem to think only they are responsible enough to use the forest. The rest of us are the tax base that pays the lions share of operations and maintenance cost right?If we start a fire here it burns our house down. It doesnt burn yours down. So naturally those that have more to lose than just the trees are going to be more careful. And were more inclined to want it closed so there isnt a fire no matter who starts it. Also last I checked when the forest closes we all are locked out of it so not like they are letting locals use it and out of towners can't. IF you don’t keep your property fire wise do you get the same ticket as the person who started the fire? I have 49 pine trees on a quarter acre lot. I had to sign a contract with Navajo county that I will not cut a tree down until 2025, last week I bagged 29- 55 gallon bags of pine needles. I am still no where near 'fire safe'. better yet just follow the rules for a few weeks and not start a fire. Could you just poison them and say that a bark beetle killed them? other than the pine needles, I like the trees. If a fire ever hit show low, again, it would have a long way to go to get to my house. Two churches, a couple of golf courses and about 500 houses.

My wife fell in love with the house. Loophole, that I can get a certified arborist to send a note to the county stating a tree is sick and needs to be cut. My brother is a certified arborist. guess I meant what rule or what conditions were in place to even have that as a possibility when I bought it? I've never heard of something like that. County/cities do weird stuff all the time. Try to build a house in Sedona and you will find out what weird really is.

I do not think you would be saying that if you saw the sadness on the peoples faces that lost everything they spent a lifetime working for. Every picture of their kids, every memento from every science project their children did. Every item that reminded them of their parents long since past. That happened to some friends during the rodeo fire, to them it was slightly more than an inconvenience of not being able to camp for a few weeks. Being from the mountain and going through fire you are a little more conscious of fire closures. That being said there are aholes everywhere. To this day when I here the emergency sound on the radio and tv I stop and listen.

white mountains pretty much have. Its been 15 years since the rodeo fire, if 3c cooks again you will be starting over with the starting over.

if i thought i was gonna die and the only way out was to start a signal fire id make a rager like that lady did. you said the "the valley," thats phoenix. two 500k acre fires started by small town people, just saying is all. Chediski portion of the rodeo chediski was started by lost valley lady and a channel 5 helicopter if memory serves. The guy that started the Rodeo portion spent 8 years in jail. It was a common practice to start a fire for rodeo/beer money a couple of weeks before an event, before this latest pattern of super dry conditions from the last 18-20 years or so. Wasn't the wallow fire started by some campers from Vail, suburb of Tucson?

Dave, Just curious who uses the money? Is it the critter groups? The PDF shows how the money is used, but who does the work? Fred -

less than 1% according to handout. So lets say .5%. that means about 500 elk tags, 1000 dear tags, 20 antelope tags, etc (let me know if my math is wrong) First off let me say I'm totaling against any tag grab effort out there, with that being said the best I can tell the total number of draw tags is around 113,963 so 1% of that would be about 1,139. I think the total number of elk was around 14,000 so even if you said 15,000 1% would be 150, deer around 49,000 so 1% would be 490 and antelope around 500 so 1% would be about 5 tags, I'll say it again though I think 1 more tag taken from the public is 1 to m It was called a workshop. -

He represents me and people like me that do not have an affiliation. The average hunter that would rather hunt, talk hunting and keep permit system although not perfect the way it is. -

Do you mind providing a few examples of how the average hunter has been negatively effected in Utah? I keeping hearing that the Utah system has been hindered by the tags but Im not hearing any facts such as lower tags, decreased opportunity for youth, higher predator numbers, tag price increases above the norm...... i dont know much about Utah, thanks. Utah.PNG I can play this game all day -
