	  Does anyone know when the 2012 draw results will be in by?twigsnapper replied to couesbowhunter1's topic in Elk Hunting I was in the Bahamas on a cruise for my honeymoon when the deer and sheep results were released this year. I logged on in the middle of the ocean to find out. Cost me $20 just to check draw results.

	I have the had the Swaros and the now I have the Kaibabs. The Swaros offer better clarity but I like the Kaibabs because I like to wear my eye glasses when glassing. The swaros do not offer me a full field of view with my glasses on. Just a thought. Check out this write up, best I have ever read when it comes to 15's http://hardcoreoutdoor.com/2011/01/29/best-15-power-binoculars---docter-swarovski-leica-vortex-and-zeiss.aspx

	This is the real deal. The best analogy I have heard is comparing it to getting really drunk on a certain type of alcohol and every time you smell it again you get queasy. Jim Beam does it for me, that stuff is bad news, but it was a fun night. I have heard a little about this in controlled testing and it works but the real challenge is to make it work in the wild. I always worry about the side affects and unintended consequences of this kinda thing. If we train wolves to not eat livestock then haven't we just trained them to eat deer, sheep, elk............

	  Where do we go from here?twigsnapper replied to archerycrazy's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting Having one consolidated voice for all the different critter groups(turkey, deer, antelope, elk, sheep, fishing) is a must. The critter groups are good at taking care of their own business but very week and under powered when it comes to fighting the bigger fights. Having representation for all sportsmans groups at state and federal levels is very expensive and takes a certain type. Don't know exactly what that is but we need to have a proactive and open dialog about how we can band together for the greater good of all sportsman and build a force that no environmentalist group even wants to mess with.

	I want to buy a nice compound bow. I need one for shooting both 3d's and hunting. Needs to be right handed, prefer 60-70lbs 28-29" draw and would prefer a bow that is complete with sights, rest, quiver..... I am not picky, just looking for a good deal and one in good shape, here are a few I have been looking at. PSE bowmadness or X force(I used to have one), Diamond marquis, diamond general....... Let me know guys, thanks. Would like to spend $300-400. I also have a coupe nice slik and velbon tripods to trade.

	Thanks for the offer guys. I found a bow this week. I apologize if I didn't respond.

	A couple of notes: 1)I love the passion/anger from everyone. 2) I am trying to remain open minded because the people who "dropped" this bill do a lot for sportsman in AZ. I think the concept has some merit but the implementation is sorry at best. I would just like to propose a thought. After the dust settles on this Bill, and it's likely to get shot down quickly, please keep your eyes and ears out for other issues. I think, we are all against taking tags away from the general draw but rest assured if this WOLF reintro happens and we are not allowed to manage the wolf population the 341 tags this Bill is requesting will be childs play compared to the potential tags lost to over predation from wolves, look at the moose population in WY. Environmentalists are a much bigger issue/concern to sportsmen then HB 2072 and they have much more money then AZSFW, they happen to be very sneaky and very calculated. Keep your radars up, and fight for what you love, just make sure your punching the right person at the bar.

	For tags that are very important to me(elk,sheep,deer,antelope,buffalo) I will not use the online system. Had a buddy draw the buffalo tag but then his credit card company denied the $1095 charge not because of insufficient funds but becasue the charge was "suspicious" according to the credit card company. Had another buddies wife call in and order a new card because hers was at home and she was on vacation but needed the card asap. All of his apps were kicked out when G&F tried to run the card. Just a couple reasons to be careful. My 2 Cents.

	Instant Oat meal, not home cookin but it is super easy and sticks to your ribs. I bought some that came pre-packaged with a little bowl(like $1.50 each too) for our youth deer hunt two weeks ago and it was a hit. Just boil water when making some coffee in the am and bam! Warm breakfast.

	The last thing we all need is more regulation!!!!! It is all on the shoulders of the operator. I use a quad often. I would submit that responsible quad use causes less damage to roads then using a truck or suv, but remember I used the term responsible. My old Honda starts everytime and she has seen some nasty roads and she only cost me $2000 and that was 10 years ago. No way I am tearing up a $20-30K pickup or Jeep, just can't afford it. Don't like quads then hunt wilderness or just get off the roads. Use a pickup or suv when the terrain allows and a quad when it doesn't. I have seen plenty of idiots with big ole jacked up trucks stuck way too far back in as well. It's all about the operator. Maybe the G&F should have a idiot hunting season and a non-idiot hunting season

	That's a low blow!!
- 
	OHHHH, I love rumors and AZLance that is a juicy one for sure!!!!

	My work schedule dictates my scouting. I also like to scout during hunting seasons, helps understand hunting pressures and animal movements. However if scouting during a hunt I am very cautious and careful not to pressure animals or crowd hunters. my 2 cents

	When I moved to AZ in 2003 I had no idea what Outdoorsmans meant. All I knew: it was a magical place that sold great tripods that were way out of the budget for a broke college kid. Fast forward 8 years. We are on our deer hunt this year and my uncle's Outdoorsmans tripod comes apart in a spot where it is not built to come apart. I felt bad for my uncle but deep down inside I am thinking "see now you know why I don't spend that kind of money for a tripod, they all break eventually" He limped through our hunt with his busted tripod and we had a great hunt. Last Friday night at dinner he tells me that he went over to the magical place(Outdoorsmans) to buy a replacement part for his tripod. After completely taking apart the tripod, cleaning every piece, dumping out the pound of sand from the legs, and reassembly with the new part there was no charge!!! None at all, zip, zero, nada. The only hassle they gave him was for packing around all the extra weight from the years of sand packed into the legs Even my uncle was blown away, after all, the tripod is at least 9-11 years old, never been maintenance and never been left at home either. Yes, Outdoorsmans tripods are worth the money, every hard earned penny. I admit I don't own one yet but I will, soon. PS. I have a couple nice used tripods for sale
