    Turkey calls- What do you like?

    I have seen few calls I don't like. I have never been able to master glass or aluminum friction calls -- seems like it always takes a few errant calls before I get it to work. Even though I prefer the box call the best (loudest), you must learn to use a mouth diaphragm call so that you can use entice the gobbler those last few yards with minimum movement. The mouth diaphragm takes some practice but it's worth it.

    Zeiss optics for sale

    Do you still have the Zeiss tripod mount that came with the binoculars? If so, do you want to sell it?

    Draw Results Come Early this Year?!!

    You do know they claim that the credit card update does NOT guarantee the draw results will be done immediately. The only date they sign up for is "Permits mailed out by" -- sure wish they could be a little more honest and less CYA.

    Trap thrower-SOLD

    Is this the kind that you just keep on turning counterclockwise or do you have to cock it in the clockwise direction?

    AZ G&F Quail Trap

    We had dove go in and out of the cone undeterred unless highly stressed (running up there) but the quail had a really tough time figuring out how to get out. The cones were much longer than your picture and ended up in center of cage and only one entrance.

    AZ G&F Quail Trap

    Very interesting on the quail stuff. They mentioned the quail are too smart for the cone traps used for dove -- surprising. Our local quail would be similar to the golf course quail and our neighborhood quail are HUGE, albeit not that warry, so they may not fare well. Only a third of the nesting females surviving is disappointing. Tough life for these critters that seem to only respond to winter rains. Looks like it is going to be a BOOM year next with great numbers this year and record rains in January. Wish the same could be said for the mearns. Summer rains have sucked, though.

    How's the AZGFD E-Tag app?

    PLUS we don't have a big, worthless sheet of meaningless advertisements.

    Can you enter draw at 9?

    I stand corrected ... things have changed. It would be a little funny if she were drawn ... better buy that protection thing too.

    Can you enter draw at 9?

    Some folks start the bonus point gathering as soon as they get their newborn a ss #. Ironic the license cost $5 but tag fee is way more for just a bonus point.

    How's the AZGFD E-Tag app?

    I used my first one for the late WT hunt. Pretty convenient. I think MOST Wildlife Managers will cut you some slack till we all get this figured out (dead phone) but you should do it as soon as you can to "tag" the animal. "Durable" concerned me till I watched the AZGFD videos, and they suggested flagging tape. Flagging tape does not seem durable to me so I ascertain that maybe this is not such a big deal since you "used" your tag and don't have another to keep on hunting. I like the idea that it yields all harvest data which is what they base the numbers of tags on.
