    North of the Ditch hunts

    Got spanked in 13B. Beautiful country and I'd like a rematch but very unlikely.

    Ode to the AZ trail Camera, The End

    Not illegal. How images are used could be illegal. I think AZGF is hoping people will stop hanging cameras.

    Saw this on Instagram...what’s your take?

    Actually, I don't think a 1000 guys running around any unit is a good idea. The scenario you describe will play out south of the river. Unit 23 in August for example, has recently been a "horrible hunt and experience". OTC/threshold archery deer has/will become be a "zoo" experience.

    Threshold method is a short term solution IMO but I think its worth a shot. We shall see. It would be nice to see all the units revert to this methodology including the units north of the Colorado river. If it a good idea why not?

    The commission went overboard IMO. His wife is probably studying for the guide test as we speak.

    Beast of a ram! Congrats.

    AZ's population going from 1.5 million to 8 million+ and growing is a dang shame. AZ is the only western state in our vicinity that does not have a draw for archery deer. OTC deer is toast, if not now soon.

    Threshold idea sounds good initially. As thresholds are met, remaining open units would likely be overrun. Time to go to a draw for archery deer. Maybe do OTC permits for traditional archery (no wheels, no sights).

    My 2021 RAM!!!!!

    It is really tough when not seeing sheep for days on end. You finished very well, congrats on a really great ram.

    Customer ID on the New Draw

    Wish I had read the instructions more closely. Used my sportsman's ID # for so long it is habit. Suspect they will dump the sportsman ID # in favor of the new customer ID# in the near future. Suggest everybody document their bonus points.........

    Where's Casey? 5 in a row baby!!! 38 - 15

    I knew UofA football was a joke when Dick Tomey was fired. I was right.

    A Friends Desert Tag

    Outstanding ram!

    Cranes

    Store and maintain 10 dozen decoys for 3+ years waiting on another tag ...... Locate where cranes are feeding, beg landowner(s) for permission to hunt his/her land. Being that tags are few and far between, hiring a guide makes perfect sense. Pass shooting is OK but dusting decoyed birds is where it's at. Lot less wounding too.

    New Draw

    Six tags for 3 species is insignificant in the big picture. Hopefully tag numbers will remain low for the app fee harvest by AZGF. I'm in!

    Daughters sheep hunt

    The intent of this "loophole" is to get young people in the field. Tag transfer is a family deal with transfer only going to minors. I am all for tag transfer within families but suspect this young lady drew her own tag. Hope this family has an amazing experience.

    Card hits??

    Got a Gould's tag in my realm, likely my sweetheart drew but you never know. 31 or 35B.

    37a 2020 Ram

    Outstanding work on a really nice ram.
  21. Looking for a used tire, preferably a BF Goodrich All Terrain. A wheel would be cool too, 8 - 170 mm with a 4.5" offset for a 02 F350. Thanks in advance for any help. Phoenix metro or Showlow area.

    Coyote gun Scope suggestions

    Hate to think how many yotes got away that would not have if I'd been packing a shotgun. BB's, #4 buck. Recommend a "turkey" shotgun, camo'd with a 24" tube.

    BIG bear, congrats to all.

    Do something nice for your dog today

    Beautiful dog, sorry for your loss.

    Doe hunts????

    Removing does is ALWAYS about limiting/reducing the size of a population, not the buck/doe ratio.
