The following is everyone's top brainstormed ideas in my opinion whom I believe would have a valid opportunity for changes? Thinking..... What if the coueswhitetail group selected a top 10 that has realistic Commission power to vote on and approve. This list would need to be sent to the open public hearing notice and a group of individuals to attend the commission meeting to present the hunters perspective changes. -More officers and better enforcement. -Serial poachers should never be able to hunt again. 3 strikes and you are out. -More in person hunters safety classes, and make hunters safety or some kind of conservation class a requirement to hunt big game. The class should include info about staying on open roads, firearm safety, common courtesy, ethics, etc. -Leave the BP system alone. Nothing is better. The old guys waiting 20 years for tags is a choice. They know the game, and chose to play it. Having a shot at drawing any tag at any time with the current system is what makes it fun.  -Archery only sheep tags! -Make the application process less redundant. Why do we have to list our personal information every time we apply for a different species? Other states have figured out how to do this why can't we?  -When applying for hunts, given the option of listing a 2nd credit or debit card in case the first card is rejected. -The archery deer hunts that you must get drawn for should be placed with the elk/antelope draw. This will allow the successful applicants have time to schedule time off work, scout, search for a guide etc. -up front for once in a lifetime hunts, also something where your ineligible to draw until you've bought a bonus pt for a few consecutive years. Nothing worse then someone first year applying for sheep because its only 13 dollars drawing a tag when you have other die hards who haven't missed a application there whole life who won't ever have more then a 1 % chance -Stiffer penalties for game violations. Not talking about the honest mistakes. But the serial poachers or even 2nd time offenders need more than a slap on the wrist. There should not be a third time. -Separate bonus points for coues and mule deer. (Like sheep, turkey) For youth hunts, tags- My only suggestion for the once in lifetime Sheep and Buffalo as there are long list of lifetime hunters waiting on their opportunity. Make it for 18 and older- I think sometimes at such a young age- they do not fully appreciate what they have. But saying that I know of a young man Parker who is the exception! Mike

Call Brown coolers- furniture out of Coolidge. They are a small family owned business and love to hunt and everything outdoors. They just posted on their Facebook they received a new supply of freezers.

I just received word that Mike Misker passed away yesterday. He was a long standing member on this site. Pease pray for his family as he leaves behind two young boys and his wife.

I just tried the code in the checkout and not working. Where do you apply it?

Plus azgfd has been pushing hunter recruitment hard for a bunch of years. We now have a lot of new hunters in the field taking tags.

You will love them! Let me know your thoughts after getting them and shooting them!

I used the gravedigger on a bull and cow since 2013 and last year used the Evolution Outdoors Jekel. The creator of the Grave Digger started a new company thus the new Jekel broadhead- incredible flight, sharpness, strength and durability. All three less than 50 yards travel.

A message from Linda: Hi to all from MIke Misker's mom. I am overwhelmed at the support from all of you. We celebrate in the fact that Mike is pain free for the first time in 25+ years and is sitting at the feet of Jesus. My thought yesterday was Mike telling Jesus and hunting story and Jesus saying "yes my son, I know I was there with you." Those of you that know him well know how many stories he could tell especially about hunting. We appreciate the prayers and support to all our family and also greatly appreciate the donations being made for Heather, James & Alton. With his pension ending at his death it's going to be a tough couple months until paperwork is processed for Heather and as Mike's mom I know his first priority would be to take care of his family. Thank you to all of you. Previously posted were my mailing address for anything to be sent to Heather - Misker Family, 515 E. Carefree Hwy #176, Phoenix, AZ 85085 and today at the request of some who don't use checks I sent up a Venmo account for her Linda-Misker. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. God is giving us the strength to get through but things are a little scattered right now. When I get my turn to enter those Pearly Gates I'm going to ask him why everything having to do with VA has to be so confusing and slow! Love you all - thank you.

We have a new option to help send payment to the family for those interested? please Venmo Linda Misker (Mike’s mom) as they get it directly. With Mike being 100% disabled veteran- his pension is now ceased. His wife Heather now having to apply for death benefits. As we know- this will be a long process. ☹️ blessing friends, the family appreciates your prayers! Mike

It will be mid next week- will confirm once we have a small group. Need about 4 of us as the yard not will big.

A request- From the family- They are in need of landscaping upkeep and overall clean up. Sounds like some irrigation leaks too. Let me know if you have interest? Mike

All, As of a few moments ago. Speaking with Mike’s mom. She asked if anyone wanted to help if they could send a check to the following. This way the funds go directly to Mike’s wife. Blessing friends! Att: Misker Family (check made out ) Heather Misker 515 E. Carefree Hwy #176, Phoenix, AZ 85085.

I Have not seen the gofund me from Linda ( Mike's Mom). I am checking with her right now. Please do not donate until I confirm. Thank you MIke

Great question! Shooting longer distances will make you a much better short distance shooter. Max of 3 arrows per sequence- roughly 2-3 minutes between shots. The key is maintain form, hold the level and follow through. After 3 rounds, I shoot a round at 50. and two more rounds of 100 and end with round at 30.

Amen!!

Thank you for sharing the photo's!! Ugg unreal!

I know a few of you were close to him. Please call me 602-501-1645. Mike

My understanding is while having hip surgery- he never made it through it.

Sad- News- I received word Mike passed away during surgery. Please pray for the family as he leaves behind two young boys and his wife.

ugg!

Is the old 3 bar wildlife area now gone? Incredible photos!

How many are from Arizona January archery season?

Since the Commission now made the public reason to not justify giving the tag for not contacting the company. Now with having and proving evidence that the credit card company was alerted before the date of the drawings. Going forward if our card denied and we were selected. We now have justification to receive the tag as bank error?
