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?

Every year I take a new kid out hunting. I tell my son to pick one of his friends from school or baseball and ask him if he is interested in going on a free guided hunt. Then I talk to his parents and then get his license for him and apply for a hunt for him. I feel this is my way to give back to hunting. We all hear about it every year... the number of hunters continues to dwindle. Well that is something I can help turn around. Every kid I take hunting is usually hooked, and even if he never hunts again, he now has the knowledge and experience in him to support hunting. And hopefully when he grows up and is able to vote, he will cast a vote for hunting and against anything that will try and impeed hunting rights as well as maybe pass along hunting to someone else. This year it was Jackson's turn. He is the 8th kid I have taken, and he was not disappointed. I quickly glassed up one single pig this morning cresting a ridge. We quickly packed up our gear and raced (well not literally, it was a steep climb) to the top of the ridge. As I crept over the ridge I counted 8 javalina feeding 150yds away. I motioned for Jackson to come up to me and sit down. Jackson sat down put the rifle on the tripod and began looking for the pigs. Right about then I heard something that sounded like a train... it was actually Jackson breathing excitedly. I told him to take a few deep breaths and calm down. He did, and then squeezed of a round that struck the pig making him do a flip and then a death dance. As II looked at Jackson and said, " You got him", my reason for doing what I do was right there... a smile from ear to ear followed by a few high fives. He is definatley hooked and his first question was, "when can we hunt again". Mission accomplished...

This after the public meeting they had where they said they were going to be transparent? I don't understand their continued effort to step in it? (Sorry Tony Mandile, I couldn't find your new section for G&F bashing)

"An Arizona Game and Fish official told her no staff was available to come out because everyone was on vacation, but advised her to call back." I couldnt even make stuff up this good... P.S. Sorry Tony Mandile, I still can't find the special bashers forum...

Im just happy that Matt Braun and G&F did this reintroduction the right way, by reducing the predators first. The Catalina Sheep reintroduction could learn from this. They should have worked on clearing out some lions ahead of time before the sheep got there. Can't wait until the population is back up to huntable numbers. I built up 17 bonus points waiting to hunt down in 34b or 35...

Awesome buck!

Where is the picture?

Sun devil...just giving you a hard time. And yes can't wait for baseball. Opening day down here is Feb 14th. Wildcats are ranked 24 and sundevils ranked 22...should be a good year for both teams. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d1 And if your hockey team can win a national championship they will join Arizona in that category...

? Always changing the subject... But since you brought it up? How many National Championships does your hockey team have?
