i've drawn 4 late bull tags in 26 years of applying. missed a couple years of applying for antelope when I was in college. I have literally never drawn a tag that I wasn't in the max pool for.

Antelope BP dad 27, me 24BP, Brother 24BP.

Throw those wheels on offerup or craigslist and make some money. Lots of people want them and they go for a pretty good price

Although the numbers increase in NR vs Resident for 2018-2020 is about the same (+857 res and +991 Non-Res) NR tags are increasing at 10x the rate as RES (32% vs 3.2%). For arguments sake, can we all agree that selling 29,589 OTC deer tags in 2020 WITHOUT any kind of harvest reporting is an issue? How can you issue that amount of tags without having any idea what the impact is? Success rates have to be way higher now than they were when these hunts were designed. People are better at hunting, spend more time in the field, hunt harder and spend way more money on hunting gear now than ever before. All of those things drastically increase your odds of killing animals. The Arizona model has not changed much since probably the late 90's/early 2000's and is built around banking that people will continue to have low success rates. They do not want to have mandatory harvest reporting for the simple fact that they will not be able to sell as many tags because the statistics will show a tremendous jump in harvest numbers. It is a huge predicament for us hunters here. I for one LOVE that I can hunt deer every year in Arizona but at the same time, I do miss the days of strong deer populations, more mature bucks and lower pressure. You can't have your cake and eat it too I guess but sticking your head in the sand when there is an obvious issue doesn't help.

they could probably keep OTC coues as unlimited but make mule deer a draw. Unfortunately WHEN they do make the change it'll likely cover both species. In my opinion, coues populations do not tend to fluctuate as much as mule deer and i really doubt if archery hunters really make much impact on their population. Mulies are also a lot more susceptible to being killed with a bow. I personally have stopped archery hunting in January for 3-4 years now. i don't enjoy rubbing elbows with a million other people and the areas i prefer to hunt have been terrible in January for quite some time. August archery has been much more enjoyable. NR's have more to hunt in their neck of the woods that time of year.

i agree that they need to do something to limit the NR OTC tags but if the numbers that flatlander produced a while back are correct, the larger issue is the amount of resident archery hunters. The first step for G&F is mandatory harvest reporting. there is absolutely no way for them to have an accurate idea of how many deer are actually being killed every year. Success rates on rifle hunts have likely skyrocketed in the last 10 years. Success rates for archery deer have probably largely stayed the same but the amount of deer killed by archery hunters has likely skyrocketed as well

I’ll take the last box. Pm incoming

Make them update their portals they said.....it’ll be better they said......just when we thought they FINALLY had the draw process figured out

That is a disgusting animal. I do like watching Rand Paul light him up though. 20 years ago that pervert tranny woulda been thrown in prison for even suggesting it

I’ll take it. Can pick it up tomorrow. I live real close to you

What is even more disgusting is in the video they lead you to believe it is some mass murderer killing 37 people for the first 1:25 before they even mention a horse

Way more deer and elk died of drought because the horses suck the tanks dry and run them off.

Why is there a limit on stripers?

I would definitely NOT shoot an expandable, especially a rage with a setup that has such little energy. You might be in bad shape if you center punch a rib. I have a video of my friend bouncing a rage off of an 80lb corsican ram at 45 yards. He was shooting a 70lb bow and 400gn arrow at probably around 300fps. Some people have good luck with them on elk but they are likely shooting heavy or fast setups. I’ve seen a lot of expandables fail on elk. Center punching a rib is usually where the failure starts. Do not take offense to this but my GF shoots what is likely a similar setup but less poundage. I have her shooting black eagle 400’s with a 50gn brass insert and a 125 2-blade broadhead. I would feel pretty good about it on an elk. If you don’t want to spend a bunch of money, i would look at doing the same. Keep your arrows, use a brass insert and a solid 125gn head.

Man, i just spent twice that on a case of crappy shells.

Scary stuff. Even scarier is the “president” puts his name on any piece of paper that comes across his desk without even looking at it. Athletes spend more time looking at a baseball card they are about to sign than he does a bill.

Moisture must have been really spotty then. I saw terrible antler growth and mostly busted bulls this year in the eastern part of the state. Many friends that guide and spend a lot more time out than me saw the same thing. These little storms like this are nice but they don't do a whole lot for the animals and vegetation. The animals in a lot of parts of the state likely headed into winter in pretty poor shape so a nasty winter might not be the best for them strictly for survival. The complete lack of a monsoon in 2019 and 2020 hurts a lot. We need that rain so the animals can have enough browse to get fat for the winter as well as have enough to last through the winter. Mars has more vegetation than some spots i hunt that usually have a lot of feed.
