Jim, have there been open forums like this in the past? And if so what issues were brought up by hunters? And how did the department act on these issues? I know I spent a ton of time and G&F meetings and thought I was doing some good...but soon realized that they didn't care and had their minds made up way in advance.

Maybe if you added up the values of the last 3 trucks I have owned it might come to $45,000, but a $50k truck...I don't think I will ever spend that kind of money on a truck. And as for the toy hauler... I hope I win the lottery and can buy one some day. And the $2500 rig I shoot, I think you added an extra zero on that number... my bow cost $300 and my best rifle cost $375... So I think you got the wrong guy here...

For you sendevil fans...

Hopefully its more interactive than the commission meetings where the commissioners eat lunch, text, take phone calls, check Facebook, and get up and walkout during the public comment time.

Omg that's classic!

Hmm...

Like I said above I will root for them... let's just hope they do better in the post season than their football team...

Excellent post Mr Smith. People love to spout off about things, but when the facts are laid out it gets real quiet.

Yes its hard to swallow that loss... but with that said maybe this will work out good for the Arizona basketball program. This team may well be the most talented team in the nation, but they need time to mature. The only Senior on the team is Jordan Mayes and he is the 8th man. Hopefully Arron Gordon, Nick Johnson, and Kaleb Tarzuski will realize they are not ready for NBA. That would be the best outcome of this season, returning everyone but Mayes. And with the number 1 recruiting class in the nation coming in next year it can only get better. So as hard as it is to say... good luck Devils. I will put away my pride and root for you in the NIT tournament.

We can't start talking about baseball... club hockey season is still going on for ASU...

Congrats Scumdevils, and good luck in the NIT tournament...

Sounds like some Lacey Act violations as well could be tacked on, provided the statue of limitations hasn't run out.

Agreed it is probably way more than 1 million wasted. This audit was a limited one and not for the entire budget and agency...

This is the same as someone catching a bobcat in a trap...

Just bury it on an ant hill....

3 point sling is what I rely on every day of the week.

Wow... that's insane. and I am sure we're not talking just a few hundred dollars here

Unfortunately unless you are a lion hunter working for the AZGFD you can't hunt lions with dogs in the sheep area due to the closures game and fish imposed. No dogs allowed in the sheep area, and No going off trail in the sheep area. So even if hunters wanted to go predator hunt on their own...they can't! This whole area is off limits to hunters now. More closures and restrictions on hunting in AZ.

Who are we??? WE ARE THE FREAKIN TAXPAYER WHO PAYS FOR IT!!! Of course I have a say!

I'm just saddened by the loss of hunting opportunity this failed expierment has caused. These 9 sheep especially the ewes that were pregnant are a loss of hunting opportunity in the units they were captured from.

Very nice

I'll take that. Considering we aren't a "football school" We have a football team?
