    You were pretty fair. I’d of sent her up the hill to get set while I tried to run them off the road 😂 

    And, to be honest, what most hunters would have done is made a stink about it and got on social media to complain about road hunters ruining everything.

    No animal is worth a bunch of drama. Hunting is supposed to be fun or a way to separate from our day to day. Not something to be even more stressful and dramatic.

    Are we on the same planet here? There is no emotion involved in anyone's argument but yours. He broke the law, got caught, was convicted and then was on the azgfd agenda to lose his license for like four months straight and then it disappeared. You were the first one in this thread to claim what happened to him is BS and it's just government overreach. Children could understand this. No need for anyone to be law school educated to understand how the law works. I didn't start this thread and you have made just as much of an argument for what he did being ok as I have saying it isn't ok (along with 99% of everyone else on this thread) 

    You seem to feel threatened by his accomplishments. Nobody hates a poacher more than a less successful poacher.

    The essence of the conversation is an outfitter blatantly broke the law and got caught. Literally as clear cut as it gets. Now you can bring in random emotional based arguments to try and justify it because you have a weird hard on for Koury but the facts remain. 

    Everyone can see what’s happening here. Seems you are the one blinded by your emotions for another man and you projecting that to others further demonstrates the point.

    You might need a law school refresh if you can’t see the blatant bias’ in your argument.

    My boys are doing fine. They have been raised to derive their self worth from their accomplishments and know better than to fall into the trap of tearing others down to extract personal validation.

    Lol that's your response when shown the facts? Are you three years old? Don't justify breaking the law because you don't like the law. He was flying during an open hunt. Case closed. Be a better example for your boys.

    Were not saying always but the state and the judge sure thought so in this case. Regardless, the law says you can't fly during an open hunt and he did. Even if its nitpicky it's illegal.

    It’s a dumb technical interpretation of the law used to specifically target a well known person.

    It’s not good for anyone when government gets an ego.

    For what?

    I sure don’t have a love affair with the dude but the only charge I ever saw was for flying to scout for mule deer during an open OTC hunt for pretend elk on the strip. Those hunts are open like 9 months out of the year. Lion hunts are open the same for almost the whole state.

    So are we saying that seeing wildlife while flying is always illegal in AZ?

    It gets recorded and published which does matter to people who are looking for publicly available information.

    My experience is that it is highly dependent on their mood. Bring in a smiling happy kid, score gets bumped up a little bit. Be late and bring a stinky decomposing head, expect them to round down.

    As someone that has had the experience of hunting goats above treeline, I just want another one. They are cool animals. I think it is pretty cool to shot one in AZ, possibly the first ever??? That is pretty special IMO 

    Certainly the first in the last 100 years or so, right?

    I will be the dissenter here. I actually don’t think it’s that cool. To me the allure of a goat hunt is the experience of hunting them, where they live and all that goes with that.

    Just finding one in the aspens / mule deer country and shooting it doesn’t seem like it would scratch that itch.

    I don’t have anything against him killing it. It just isn’t the same as hunting and taking one in the mountains. And wouldn’t take the place of a true mt goat hunt for me.

    That being said, it’s really cool to think about it being possible and the novelty of the idea. I’m glad someone was able to confirm their existence there. And seems like a decent coat on that goat, and it might even be a Billy.

    That’s rad. Where can we find pics?

    The flying thing is dumb because they have those year round pretend otc elk seasons so it’s just illegal to fly and look for wildlife. But the AZGFD is not the FAA. In my mind the whole thing is a gross overreach and not in line with the intent of the law.
