Wow, what a selfish attitude and stance to take! I work hard and have been blessed to be able to afford luxuries such as the occasional hunting trip. But the idea that they are going to have DRAMATIC increases, such at the ones proposed, that might make might hunting unaffordable to some of my fellow hunters really pisses me off. Additionally, there is a reason we pay less as AZ residents. Because we subsidize AZ Game and Fish with our taxes each year.

Just reviewed the PowerPoint and answered my own question. Essentailly any early season hunt will be a premium. What a load of crap!

What is the definition of a "premium elk"?

Thanks for the info! 36B it is!

My understanding is that buying left over otc tags does not use you bonus points. Getting drawn for these as a 3rd of 4th choice would. I want to keep building my points until I get one of the "premium" units I have been waiting for. R12-4-107 G. An applicant issued a first-come, first-served hunt permit-tag under R12-4-114©(2)(d) after the computer drawing does not lose bonus points for that genus, and a valid but unsuccessful applicant for a first-come, first-served hunt permit-tag remaining after the computer drawing does not gain a bonus point.

36b is one of the primary ones I am looking at so please elaborate on "fun". Good hunt or fun for other reasons?

I'd normally say check with AZ Game and Fish. But... (I'll let you finish this sentence however you like).

Sadly, you couldn't be more right. Today's citizen is lazy, has a short attention span, and cares more about handouts than their country or right and wrong. Nothing will come of all of this and it will all soon be swept under the rug.

It is a lot harder to get away from the roads in unit 1 than it is in unit 27.

True of so many things in our country today...

I've been told on a few occasion that the shortage of 22lr ammo is due to it's low profit margins. Ammo manufacturers are putting everything into cranking out the high dollar stuff that has higher profit margins while it continues to fly off of shelves. Can't fault them for that. Once the sales of the higher profit margin stuff slows down 22lr ammo will be back. I'm just glad I had a couple thousand rounds of it from before the Obama scare. Been teahing my 8 year ol how to shoot. He got a 22lr for his birthday last year and would be crushed if we couldn't go shooting.

Happy mother's day to any and all current and future moms on here. Dad's get the most credit for passing the sport of hunting on from generation to generation, but where would the sport be without all of you amazing moms? A special public thanks to my wife who allows me to leave her home with the kids, helps me prepare to leave, cleans my mess afterwards, lets me spend way to much money on gear, eats some "interesting" game, and about a million other things! You ladies are amazing, THANK YOU!!!

Dbacks are doing really well! Almost swept the phillies and on to the Braves. That shortstop is extremely talented. We have really got to shore up that bull pen though. They scare the crap out of me.

Looks good, the wife and I will put your place on our list for a future date night!

Great job guys. Thanks for the seminar a while back. When is the next one?

Try Spinatto's. There are a couple of them in the valley. Everything is amazing but I love either the house or spaghetti with meatballs calzones! I used to frequent Oregano's (it is really good too), but since discovering Spinatto's I haven't been back.

Apparently out of Retumbo now too...

My buddy just called and said Sportsman's in Mesa just got some. Might not last long.

He was looking but already found one.

That's awesome. I need to look into this on my next trip to Puerto Rico. Did you use a local fishing guide?

Crazy and fantastic video. Good thing it was the little one! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=377211352393984

"Gun violence in US has fallen dramatically over past 20 years, Justice Dept. report finds" Can't wait to see how this gets spun... http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/07/18108298-gun-violence-in-us-has-fallen-dramatically-over-past-20-years-justice-dept-report-finds?lite

All 10 are now spoken for. I will accept backups. Thanks

IMR 4350 Powder I placed an order for some IMR 4350 a while back and was just notified that it finally arrived and shipped. My FedEx tracking suggests it should arrive at my home on Thursday (05/09/13). I only need a few pounds but since hazmat and shipping fees combine to about $45, I bought extra to help spread out and mitigate these fees. If I average out the hazmat and shipping fees per canister, it cost comes out to about $30 per 1-pound canister. I will list them on backpage.com once they arrive If no one on here has spoken for them. You also must be willing to come to me to pick them up in either Queen Creek or Tempe. I have ten 1-pound canisters available for $30 each. The only trades that I am interested in are: Retumbo powder (1 canister for 1 canister) H335 powder (1 canister for 1 canister) Federal Match Small Rifle Primers (1 canister for 1000 primers) Thanks
