    Draw question

    Once you draw, you draw, regardless of choice. In certain instances (bonus pass), people’s first choice isn’t even considered.

    How long until cards are hit??

    I’ll admit it. No shame. I got one deer charge, either myself or my daughter.

    If they are guys who don't frequent or post on forums or social media, then no, it's not enough. Also, many of them are charged the first day but for whatever reason it doesn't show on their online bank right away. Other next day, two day, three day charges tend to be from those rejected cards. As I've said, I hope I'm wrong because I'd love to still have a chance at a deer tag, but I, and everybody else I personally know, have never been charged after the early morning of the initial day it starts.

    I hope I'm wrong, I really do, so I still have a chance at a deer tag. But, I don't have very high hopes that is the case.

    It only takes one year for hunts to change and not be drawn 100% of the time. I can't even draw an early WT tag with 3 points that I could draw 100% with 3 points 2 years ago.......It's the reality of the increased population and applicants every year.

    If true, it will be a cluster for those few unfortunate people who end up with compromised cards who would have otherwise drawn........

    Give it another year or two and archery deer will be 100% draw.

    Deep Sea Fishing Out of San Diego

    I agree, definitely rough. And the other group were certainly know it alls, especially the dipshit from Canada. But, it was an invite from a buddy who put it together so figured I’d give it a shot. I’d do it again, but would look at smaller group and only people I know.

    There are way more hunters who do not get on forums or facebook pages than do. When they draw, nobody knows because they don’t post it. The vast increase in applications alone every year makes it possible for scenarios like today. Am I saying thats what happened, no, especially after the elk draw. But is it possible, absolutely. As has been said before, it’s been a long time since we’ve had the moisture we have had and the hunt dates for many hunts. Those sitting on points for a situation like this could also be a part of it. I hope I’m wrong cuz I haven’t gotten a charge either, but I’m also not holding my breath.

    Every application period there are record applications submitted. The 100% odds cannot be sustained by that. Units that you could draw every year or two will become every 3-5 years. Look at the influx of people in the forest just in general throughout the year when covid started. It trickles down to hunting. How many new gun owners were there after covid started? AZ is becoming increasingly more populated.

    I'd say it's over, based on past experiences, except the elk draw. I've never had a charge after the first posts of the morning saying cards were being hit. If I didn't get hit at that time, it's never happened. This past elk draw was the only exception and my card was hit later in the afternoon. However, I see that as a fluke and not something that will happen with this draw as well. I hope I'm wrong.

    Deep Sea Fishing Out of San Diego

    See my other, more detailed post from last night. Flylining caught a few, but most were caught with sinker rigs. Size from 20lbs to a few just over 100lbs, and everywhere in between. Captain and crew were good, food was better than expected. Bunks were ok, pretty cramped and not the most comfortable. But I've slept on worse.

    Sold

    You say the HOA won’t allow it on the street? Is it a public street? If so, HOAs don’t/can’t regulate public street parking. Only your local jurisdiction can.

    Deep Sea Fishing Out of San Diego

    We were about 20-30 or so miles off the coast and south, about ensenada, and even further south than that. Thursday afternoon, all Thursday night, all day Friday, and until early evening Friday we were into them. At one point there were no less than 20 boats in the same area. Captain said we chased them 66 miles south overnight Friday night. Said hes never seen that before. Seas got super rough overnight and all day Saturday. We spent that entire time headed back north. I think we dropped lines only twice from midnight Friday night/Saturday morning until we anchored about 3am Saturday in the harbor. BFT only, never really fished for anything else.

    Deep Sea Fishing Out of San Diego

    Trip was decent. 28 total blue fin in 3 days. Half the trip was fishable, other half was a glorified, expensive boat ride. 11 in our group didn’t catch many. Other group on the boat managed to do better, despite being know it all douchebags.

    I'm surprised it took a week for the question to be asked. They'll do it when they do it.

    Diesel repair

    I need a Cali suspension installed on a '22 non-diesel Super Duty. Would he travel to the Verde Valley to do that?

    Worst Waste of Money

    I’ve thought about it. But the whole point was to be more portable. I have a Camp Chef two burner with a griddle that is amazing. It cooks some of the best meals I’ve ever had.

    Worst Waste of Money

    Maybe not specifically a hunting item, but one I take to hunting camp; Blackstone, two burner, table top griddle. Unevenly heats and goes through 1lb tanks faster than anything I've seen before. Can only cook one basic meal per tank.

    Draw deadline.

    Enough people will piss and moan about it, the deadline will be extended.

    23-24 regs up online

    I realize that. My comment was in general, they are during fall break, not Thanksgiving.

    Most youth hunts coincide with fall break, not Thanksgiving.
