On 12-15(or 14)-15 Chad Smith pled guilty to an information charging that he used an aircraft to harass wildlife. It is a misdemeanor. Part of the agreement is that he can not seek a hunting license in Arizona or anywhere,shall not participate in any hunting activity, shall surrender his guides license in AZ,shall divest himself of any interest in Vaquero outfitters. If he complies with this order the government will dismiss the case on or before December 13, 2019

I am tired of waiting for a tag could he fly me around in his helicopter so I could shoot one behind closed gates blocking public land. It should not be a problem seems like a lot of people have no problems with game and fish violations.

Az slim you know what president signed the law requiring the Travel plan on U.S. forest

AVE Joe they were not tried twice. they were convicted in a jury trial of their peers. the judge decided to ignore the law and did not send them to prison for five years as required. The govt appealed and the mandatory sentence was then imposed pursuant to the law.

what 30 pager are you talking about. I posted some info from court records I think are relevant. As the saying goes do not do the crime if you are not willing to do crime. i have not insulted anyone just put out the facts. As one commented about do gooders etc we do not need people violating federal alw that is what hurts hunters more than anything.

I will not stick together with people hunters or otherwise who violate the law. I am a hunter and I do not appreciate a so called hunter who uses a helicopter to push antelope making is easier for him or his client to hunt them. All prospective hunters should be aware of this. This is not his first go around with game and fish. He is paying the price as he should be. He pled guilty since he is guilty as he gave up a lot. He is not the first big time guide to get in trouble go to Kanab Utah to find another one.

I think hunters have a right to know when an outfitter admits to violating the law. You could look at it this way if there was not enough evidence he should not have pled guilty. He could have gone to trial and not have to give his rights to hunt and guide. He violated the law by his admission of guilt.

Good comment Don he sounds like a loudmouth

any update on this hunt?

I have a friend out there right now and saw several rams this am.He will be glad to help out. He is real familiar with the unit.

Congrats Dan

Beautiful ram and an awesome place to hunt I feel blessed that I have hunted there many times.

Nice ram you did it the way I did no regrets

Leave camp site or phone number and I will call some Yuma guys that will help out.

It is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Hiring Travis and Troy would be a no brainer if at at all possible. He does not want to go back into the draw.

Anyone have any information on the hunt this year? Any great bulls??

Thanks for the info. Homer is a heck of a guide. How many over 400?

Travis and Troy from Southwest Hunting Adventures would do you good. I have been with them on several hunts and they are top notch. No one will scout harder.

Chili and sloppy joes are great. That is all I have made so far with my rocky Mountain ram. I will be cooking some steaks soon. Congrats on a great ram

I have. I was drawn for Desert BH in 2001. I know how lucky I am to have been drawn for both. In other threads on this forum, one sheep hunter, AZBULLHUNTER, stated " As a good friend told me before the hunt there is more to sheep hunting than just shooting a ram. He was right. As you all know sheep hunting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly. Very few people get to experience it. I have been fortunate to have done it twice." I have to echo his comments. What an awesome privelidge to get it once, much less twice. Such a majestic animal too. Not to mention all the great folks you get to meet because of being drawn, even right here on this forum. Congrats to AZbullhunter too, you got an awesome ram! I am willing to help anyone out there with sheep hunts too. What a great time. Congrats on your great ram. I have been waiting to hear about your hunt. It is hard to believe that I have been blessed with two Az rams. There are so many hunters here in AZ who have not been lucky enough to draw one tag let alone two. I met a lot of people on my hunt and all were very helpful. I would encourage next years hunters to go there during deer season and talk to the deer hunters. I stopped many on the road and went into numerous camps and received lots of help.I had two people (Dave Manoos and members of the Corbell ranching family offer me the use of their horses or mules if I needed them. All the ranchers and cowboys were very helpful and friendly to boot. The residents of Safford,Clifton and Morenci were very as nice as they could be and I still keep in touch with some of them. It is a hunt I think about everyday and will treasure it the rest of my life

No more outdoorsman for me either
