Yes, I would prefer a different philosophy for managing the states wildlife! And yes there is a large segment of hunters here in AZ that would love to reshape wildlife management in AZ. We have a out of touch commission that would rather text and joke amongst them selves while hunters who took time off of work try adress them at meetings. We have a department that continues to increase tag numbers in this state without scientific data to support such tag increases. We have a department and commission that crammed a baiting law down our throat based on junk science and a made up fear of CWD. We have local game wardens with a attitude that hunters are guilty until proven innocent. We have a department that has publicly said that anyone that profits from the taking of wildlife is probably guilty of doing something illegal. We have wardens that look down on hunters and talk down to them, instead of supporting the one who pay their check. When you have commissioners and others in the department breaking the law, we hunters are tired of looking the other way. Its time for new management in this department, and time for real leadership. So Larry, although I am not on the side of Daniel Patterson, I am ready for our Game and Fish department to move in a better direction so that there will be some thing left for my grandkids to hunt!

Shedhunteraz, Bash for false information? I dont think the AZ DPS would start a criminal investigation due to false or nonExistent information. Our DPS are hard working folks and deserve a little more respect. Let see what this criminal investigation unturns...

That might explain the grammar as well...

The only thing you forgot is to put the "Mossback" logo so big that you can barley see the deer.

Softball???

http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d1/usa_today_coaches Didnt see the Scumdevils in the USA Today Coaches poll either...

Didn't know you were a Texas fan...

Hey, I just checked the Espn RPI rankings and the scumdevils actually moved down from 53 to 59 in the rankings... Great job ASU Meanwhile Arizona only dropped from #2 to #4

ASU had to go to overtime with USC... and the Cats had them routed by halftime.

Cats trounced USC

The Scumdevils looked great tonight.... some of you guys kept telling us to just wait until Football season, while the UofA was running the table at the College World Series... Well Im still waiting.

The Devils finally lived up to their #53 ranking...

Anyone make it to the meeting and can give us a update on the baiting ban vote?

So is this Legal? It is labeled as a Salt Block. Is this a Salt Block or a Mineral Lick?

Espn RPI rankings Arizona #3 Arizona State #51 http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/groupId/21

We the people are the ultimate checks and balances...

Brian - as a former govt. official who helped craft legislation, I think you guys did a heck of a job. I don't know what isn't clear - that wording is some of the clearest language I have seen. Some people read what they want into it - and that will never change. There is no question in my mind after reading that what I can and can't do. maybe this explains the "former"

Not AZ tax dollars, but federal tax dollars!

654321, arnt you supposed to be out patroling your unit, looking for poachers? Get back to work, quit wasting our tax dollars posting on the site!

$$$$$$$

Very nice, Congrats!

Coues'N'Sheep and I almost never agree, but on this we do. I am NOT a guide and I opposed the bait ban. I also talked to 20+ other hunters and didn't find one of them that supported the ban, and none of these guys use corn. The only people who supported the ban at the Game and Fish meeting were department employees or affiliated somehow with the G & F. And just for the record, I have never killed anything over bait.

TheRealStory, How long have you worked with Game and Fish? Also if you listened to the commission meeting yesterday, most of the people who opposed the bait ban were NOT guides.

Guided hunt or do it your self?
