    I think they removed you from the running.  The link goes nowhere and when I go tō the site, your name isn’t there.  It got me interested.  Can you tell me more about the competition?  Not much description on the website and some contenders look like they collect likes for a living.

    I fixed the link issue.  The habitat votes go to the Arizona Big Game Super Raffle a 501(c)(3) Organization. All the funds generated stay in Arizona.

    My buddy Steve Ward is developing a new app that will bring you the outdoors as it is happening. It is called WILO TV.  He hasn't launched it yet, it will allow the viewer to receive alerts to live video streaming of outdoor activities as well as downloaded content. This will be simular to YouTube and others...except you can watch it as it is happening. You can also create your own channel to provide your hunts, fishing, outdoor activities.

    hahahaha.  Typical nowadays.  Something happens that you do not like, so you sue someone or an agency.  I hope AZGFD wipes the floor with them.  Guess I will "stay tuned" a little longer.  

    The edited commission meeting video was almost comical.  Always shocking when the minority find out that they are in fact the minority and not the majority like they think they are.  

    Did you talk in or at least watch the meeting?  Comments sent in to the G&F was 2 to 1 in favor of NO  CHANGE, so just how is that the minority?

    At one time, this was the B&C stance (and maybe P&Y also) on fair chase. Not sure if either still uses it.

    Boone and Crockett Fair Chase Affidavit

    I. Spotting or herding game from the air, followed by landing in its vicinity for the purpose of pursuit and shooting;

    II. Herding or chasing with the aid of any motorized equipment;

    III. Use of electronic communication devices (2-way radios, cell phones, etc.) to guide hunters to game, artificial lighting, electronic light intensifying devices (night vision optics), sights with built-in electronic range-finding capabilities (including smart scopes), drones/unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), thermal imaging equipment, electronic game calls or camera/timers/motion tracking devices that transmit images and other information to the hunter;

    IV. Confined by artificial barriers, including escape-proof fenced enclosures;

    V. Transplanted for the purpose of commercial shooting;

    VI. Confined by artificial barriers, including escape-proof, fenced enclosures;

    VII. While swimming, helpless in deep snow, or helpless in any other natural or artificial medium;

    VIII. On another hunter’s license;

    IX. Not in full compliance with the game laws or regulations of the federal government or of any state, province, territory, or tribal council on reservations or tribal lands.

    It still is!  Nowhere does it talk about the passive cameras, only the live action or cell phone camera. So I don't see the issue with cameras you still have to go physically  check.

    With the current drought conditions we have, how can 24hr monitoring of water sources be considered fair chase? 
     

    It pays respect to the traditions of hunting and angling by emphasizing the development of an individual’s skills rather than reliance on practices or technologies that overwhelm the quarry’s ability to elude detection or take.

     

     

    The questions I have for you are, how many big game predators use the ambush method at water.....they all do! How often do most people check their cameras?  Can you tell from just the tracks how big are the deer and how which ones are bucks? How often do you check water sources when you scout?

     

    I use cameras to limit my time at either water or other spots I place cameras, and yes I do sit hilltops and glass and glass and glass.

    Getting photos from a trail camera that was taken last week in no way helps me find him today, he'll even a photo a few hours old doesn't help!!!  Can you tell from the photo which way he went, did he turn left, right or go straight?  You still have to put your leg work in to find him, get into position and execute the perfect shot.

    I guess what I am saying is there is more than one way to scout/hunt. I don't tell you how to conduct yourself and I dang sure don't want you tell me!

    Guess we wait and see.  How many violations are actually ticketed. Im sure there will be some!

    I for one don't like waiting when it comes to legal issues!  If they can't definitively outline what and how a violation is done, I don't see how they can successfully prosecute one.  I mean either you are speeding or your not, way too much room for interpretation.
