I bought my 2014 license on Dec 31st last year. So it is valid until Dec 31. Can I use this license to put in for the 2015 spring hunts? In the past you had to purchase a license that was valid for next year to apply for the spring hunts. Obviously I will have to have one to hunt next year, but want to wait until end of year to purchase new one.

The definition as determined by the courts are a "maintained" road. This means that the road has to have regular and scheduled maintenance. This would include Freeways, Highways, paved roads, and dirt roads that are regularly maintained by the federal govt, state or a municipality. So any graded road is considered maintained. Two tracks are NOT included in this. In prior court cases, people cited for shooting from, across, or onto a two track, who actually retrieved the maintenance records for such roads had their citations thrown out. Now, Flatlander brings up a good point(grey area) in the rules. Where does the maintained roadway end and begin? A graded road is pretty simple...there is a small mound of dirt on both side left by the grader, step over that and you are off the road. But a paved road brings up lots of issues. Once you leave the pavement are you OK? What is the shoulder? Does the shoulder have to be maintained? And what about the land between the side of a highway and the right of way fence which is sometimes up to 100' from the road. My guess would be that if shoulder and drainage ditch are maintained (ie:; landscaped) you have to go beyond it. But it you step off of the pavement on a rural highway and are in 2' high grass(like hwy 83 below), I can't imagine them claiming you are on the road.

Enough rain already! We have had over 16" this summer... I'm done with the rain. Weeds and grass are already over 3' tall on all the hills down here.

Freaking Awesome! If any of you are ever looking to do a lion hunt, get with Andy. He works so hard out there and the results are impressive!

Not sure what 520Hunt thinks but this is my take on it. I think the weapon of choice in Mexico has been and will always be the AK-47. The accessibility of the AK-47 is not in any way in short demand either. Also when you look at rebel groups around the world they tend to use the AK-47. It might come down not to accuracy, but to reliability. If your life depended on it and you saw two guns burried in the sand, which gun would you pick up and expect to fire over and over again without cleaning? Plus I'm sure price does factor into the equation... Sorry to start a AK-47 vs AR debate... just saying... I completely agree with you on everything you said but if they are US trained military gone rogue as stated previously I would figure they'd choose different. And as we know, with cartels, money and short supply don't exist. I'm not 100% sure, but the Mexican military and federal police use the Heckler & Koch G3, I would bet that is what they were trained on while at Fort Bennig. I think they are in the process of switching over to the FX-05 Xiuhcoati. But I haven't seen any with the new rifle on my trips down south ( I read somewhere that only Mex special forces use the FX-05) I do know from pictures in news articles I have seen some ARs that have been seized by US law enforcement, but the AK-47 is the major weapon I see.

I am assuming that you reported this to game and fish and gave them a description of vehicle, license plate number, and description of the hunter... if not your just as guilty as the guy who was allegedly baiting...

It might have been Tony in that UFO...

I saw a UFO and green people in it...then after that I couldn't find any big bucks... I too am going to file a complaint with Game and Fish.

Even better!

Awesome bear! Congrats on calling him in... that is such a rush to have a big boar coming in to your call!

Funny that the guy accusing others of starting "high school rummors" is still in high school...

I have a 4 pin to 6 pin trailer light adapter, a 4 pin plug and play light adapter off a Ford F250, and a 2 5/16 trailer ball. Free to anyone who wants to pick them up. I'm in Tucson.

Did the big cinnamon eat your camera?

Great job! And for the rest of you, this is how you do a post... include story and pics! Don't just post, I got one and then don't provide story or pics... no teasing allowed.

Wolves = Money = Job Security = Goodbye Elk Herds

This is hilarious that some on here are getting their panties in a wadd over a little squirell kicking fun. I think the Frenchie deserves some credit, he had to have been quick. I have tried to kick those pesky squirells but have never been quick enough. I did manage to kick a pigeon in the mall parking lot one time, funny stuff.

I would not trust the unit 33 Game Wardens. This sounds like the TV show, "To Catch a Predator". These guys are always out for the "sting" and wouldn't put it past them.

The Mexican Grey Wolf is protected also and that hasn't stopped hunters from shooting them...

Doing the work Americans won't do...like killing law enforcement officers.

Congrats!

There were about 300+ buffalo just north of the National Park gate two weeks ago. They are almost tame now with all the park visitors driving by. I stalked out to within 75 yds and got some great pics. If you shoot one there, you will have quite an audience, as there were lots of people pulled over taking pictures.

This guy must not have a contract with Eastman's...

I'm confused. . When has it been illegal for someone to set up spotters, and act like they are there with a hunter? I also don't think anyone has a right to try and force someone to show you their tag. If an outfitter has 100 guys surrounding a hillside with a buck on it I'm pretty sure there is nothing azgfd is gonna do about. If some other hunter asks to see my license and tag they will be getting the middle finger from me. No other has any right to ask you for your license and tag...ridiculous!
