bonecollector777 and AZKiller...I love the conspiracy stories...keep them coming...they're hillarious. So, the "big wigs" are willing to risk a felony fraud charge by helping to fix the draw? And, risking that NO ONE involved at the process at AZGFD will notice, or won't be willing to blow the whistle on them? RIIIGGHHHT. Instead of spreading made up stories on the internet, why don't you try learning how things work in the real world. I'm guessing that even up in the White Mountains you can find classes on biology, accounting, and basic civics/government. And bonecollector....I'll take Packers YEARS of experience on the ground over your partial ASU biology degree any day.

You got caught in the bonus pass for your second choice. Next time put your first choice for one ans two, and put your backup choice as number three.

Anyone else notice that although the results are now online, it's showing season dates for the 2012 hunts instead of the 2013 hunts? Let's see how long it takes them to figure that out. EDIT: Looks like they fixed it.

They have "character"...but they will serve their purpose, making sure that you're seen.

Cabelas Dry-Plus Classic Bibs in blaze horizon camo. Size is XL. Never worn, still have the tags on them. Would be great for a late season elk hunt. They sell for $119 new, but they’re currently on sale for $99. I’d like to get $90 for them (you also avoid tax and shipping). Contact me on my cell: 480.495.0134. Text first, if you can.

It's a bear tag. You subtract $7.50 from the tag price.

Yes, that's the one I'm talking about....while trying notto give it even more exposure than it has already received the last two years. :-)

Same here. I have heard that that particular unit is more popular this year given all the spring archery bear reports and pics that have been posted on the internet the last few years. Too bad, after three years I finally felt like I had them figured out for this year.

Late season elk is getting close, and it's supposed to snow up north this weekend. Bumping this and lowering to $75, but that's a firm price.

Go buy a pre-loaded Visa card and enter that as your credit card. I have a friend who uses them on the draw, so it should work as a valid CC number. Then, once you have the info updated on the AZGFD page, go out and spend all the money on the pre-loaded card. When they try to run the card for the draw, it will come up with insufficient funds and be rejected. It makes more work for game and fish, but it should accomplish what you're trying to do.

+1....seeing as you can now get an extra pig tag through the leftover draw, why go through that trouble for such a small charge? If you're really counting pennies that closely, just donate the archery tag and get a few bucks back by claiming the charitable donation on your taxes.

Bump...price lowered to $80

My 5 year old daughter loves to watch me shoot my bow. I'm on the lookout for a Genesis Mini Bow for her. If anyone has a used one they'd be willing to part with then I'd like to hear from you.

Good looking bulls. Very cool. That's what happens to trees one-two years after a fire.

Just FYI, according to AZGFD, this rule is changing. It will now be pegged to the actual 18th birthday. As long as you are 17 on the day the hunt begins, you're okay to apply for junior hunts. Brian can chime in on this, but the language should be changed the next time they print regulations. I spoke to them on the phone last week because I was concerned about how the current rule might cut off a year of eligibility for kids with late birthdays. I wasn't even aware of this thread at the time...but it looks like they were. And here you go... http://azgfd.net/artman/publish/NewsMedia/Clarification-on-age-eligibility-for-Juniors-Only-designated-hunts.shtml

Anyone have any recommendations on where I can go to buy a used or rebuilt 22RE engine for a 1988 Toyota 4x4? Something in the east valley would make it much easier for me. Everyone keeps telling me how easy they are to come by, but I'm not finding that to be the case.

15 year old girl at my place with a 3AC early rifle bull tag. We can't wait. Hope they're still going strong in two weeks.

Bingo. My guy says the cover was completely shot and that it was obvious that when prior rebuilds were done they tried to just modify it instead of buying a new one. That would explain why it never seemed to run right. A new cover adds $150 to the job, but we should be good now. Rebuilt engine with new timing cover, new radiator, and new water pump...hoping it gets me through a few years. Now I need to start shopping for tires, lots of tread left on the BFGs, but they're old enough that they're starting to rot.

This is a Youth SB2 Handi-Rifle. The original barrel is .243, but I sent it back to the manufacturer and had barrels in .223 Rem and 7mm08 fitted to the receiver. I’m selling all three barrels together along with an aftermarket synthetic stock with an adjustable length of pull. I’m also including the original walnut stock/forend and the 3x9 scope that came with the original package. The 7mm08 barrel has never been fired. The .243 barrel has fewer than 50 rounds through it. The .223 barrel has 400-500 rounds through it, and it shoots quite well. I’m asking $475 for all of it. If, however, you’d like to use your credit card, you can buy this the package at the link below and I will trade straight across: http://www.budsgunsh...TH XP 223 NIKON You can contact me on my cell: 480.495.0134 If you call before 5pm, then I would prefer a text first.

The 20% pass system is awesome. You've just got to be aware of it and where your points will put you. I hope it doesn't change.

Check out the recommendation for javelina: http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/documents/S-3springHuntRecommend.pdf If you hunt on a leftover in a different hunt, you can take another pig. That's one way to sell some leftovers!

DO NOT GO TO "FIVE STAR ENGINES" OF GLENDALE AZ THEY ARE RIPP OFFS! Good to know, thanks. They're all over Craigslist, but I didn't end up using them.

Yeah, it ran great for a couple thousand miles. Hoping to get it back to that point again. It has been parked for 10 months now. I found a rebuild with a year long warranty that I feel good about.

This is your truck. I'm the one that bought it.
