My dad drew. He either had 27 or 28bp’s though so not real excited or surprised. He was due. I had 23, my brother 24 and nothing for us.

Are the 380 and 38spc in 20 or 50 rnd boxes?

Most of the wildlife foundations are great, and i am a member of a few of them but what i am saying is with the amount of money that G&F takes in vs what they spend, the wildlife foundations should not be responsible for donating so much time and money to habitat improvement. When there is that much money unaccounted for each year but the forests are a mess, campgrounds look like dumpsters, lakes are not getting stocked, nothing is getting patrolled, violations are not getting written, game populations are going down, tanks are dry, etc.

i want to know who in their right mind would donate when they already have that much unspent money each year. It is crazy that the majority of habitat improvement comes from donations of the different wildlife foundations when there is so much revenue that comes in each year and not spent. how many tanks could you build and fill a year for just a couple million? How many acres of PJ thickets could you clear? how much more accurate would wildlife surveys be? If I'm going to be scratching their back, i need something in return. I'm not saying i need tags every year if i donate either, i'd just like to see more of that revenue actually go towards habitat improvement and conservation.

so, when they took in 130million last year when their expenses are 40mill (i know there are more things they have to pay for than what is in the 40 mill) why do they need our tax returns?

i would reach out to Doug at cameraland. Even though you didn't buy them from him, i'm sure he can help. He has always helped me out when it comes to warranty work.

Last year? What time? All of last year’s draws went smooth

Everyone saying G&F hasn’t done anything wrong because the only guarantee they made was mailing tags by 4/2 is going to be proven wrong here soon. There is NO WAY they can produce a leftover list and mail tags out in 2 weeks. If they hit our credit cards tomorrow, we’d be lucky to have draw results by 4/2, much less a tag in the mail.

With the AZ draw really screwing things up for NM, do you all think there will be more or less applications there? NMGF and AZGFD kind of have a deal worked out so people will know whether or not they drew in AZ before they have to apply for NM.

for a 3-month turnaround and only paying $475, i'd tip

you'd be hard pressed to find a spot in AZ elk country 5 miles from a road. i've packed a LOT of bulls and they are rarely over a mile it seems. The terrain does seem to make more difference than the distance. Possibly my worst pack out was a coues buck. my buddy left about half of his gear with me to go put a stalk on a buck. I ended up finding one in the opposite direction so i loaded up his gear and mine and went and shot the buck. Got caught in a nasty downpour that absolutely soaked me to the bone and my gear, clothes and pack turned into a giant sponge. the packout was probably about 2 miles but had to cross several fences and canyons. I weighed my pack when i finally got him back to the house it was around 130lbs. One of the worst elk packouts was shot across a canyon, only 500 yards from the road. the canyon was not one we could cross, especially with heavy packs. had to loop back around and come in from above him. it was only about a mile and a half but took us the rest of that evening and half of the next day to get him out.

Probably the same troll that posted the dick pics earlier

Someone shut it down quick. Never seen one that big on this website

are you in East Mesa ? if so, i'll take it for $75

am i seeing this right? the cost to operate is about 44 million and the took in 133 million? where is the other 90 million a year going? not to conservation and maintenance, that's for sure

they're starting. It is snowing right now in elk country. fresh snow always makes shed hunting easier. most bulls will probably shed between now and the first part of april

We need to be real concerned about Halaand being sworn in as well. you cannot be pro public land but anti firearms. The different groups that support her are extremely concerning as well. Make sure to support the right groups. some of her concerning supporters/donors are: Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (they need to go away), National Deer Association, NWTF, pope and young, whitetails unlimited, wildlife forever, Archery Trade Association, Ducks Unlimited.

$13 isn’t much but spread that, plus licenses across 5-7 species, plus another $5 for point guard for most of us, for multiple people in a household and it adds up fast. I spend around $300-$400 a year (between my gf and i) if we don’t get a single tag. Add a few otc tags (bear, lion, turkey, deer) and it jumps up to about $600-$700 a year.

I’m probably wrong but i see 100-105"

That’s a really cool buck. Congrats man

I’ll trade you my large magnum primers for your small rifle primers. Pm me

Genetics do make big bulls but without food and water they can’t grow big antlers. When a bull that has 380" genetics goes from 360 to 310 to 380, is it genetics that makes him only go 310 in that particular year? If so, i’m still waiting on that year where my genetics make me go from 240lbs to 210lbs without any change in diet.

Put down the pipe or smoke it

I'm smelling BS on it as well. unless they are manually going through and running cards as they process the apps

with as screwed up as this draw is, i can't imagine how catastrophic extending the CC update deadline would be
