We ran into an officer for the first time in maybe 20 years, maybe longer, while elk hunting. On a very remote road. Nice guy.

Many thanks

Hopefully connected by now?

Awesome ram, so happy for your guys.

Does anyone have this for 2025 they can share or know where they are hiding it on the website? Looking for deer at the moment. Their "draw odds" sheet is just the one line, I'm wanting the point by point breakdown for each hunt. Toprut sold out to onx and they stripped out most of the data as well so I can't find the good info and don't want to wait to do a records request at the department... Thanks.

It’s more than that. They report bases size each horn, length of each horn, overall width, overall score and age. So yeah, with let’s say the 4 biggest rams in an area, all unique and different sizes in different ways, some broomed on the left, others on the right, one super long, one thin on mass, I have been able to tell in this situation, confirmed eventually by pictures. But the less reliable the measurements, well you get the idea. Also for records sake, it would be nice to rely on a 162 being 162 and not really 165. The whole premise of score in the first place is a consistent, comparable measuring system not dependent on time and place, otherwise let’s just go back to subjective small, medium, large, giant and call it good. I know not everybody is interested in scores and the nuances of the accuracy and comparisons on game, but I think it’s pretty interesting and fun.

Trying to get a feel of which rams may have been taken in a unit that I have an inventory of most of the mature rams. But that has proven difficult with shaky scores, among other reason:)

What is everyone's experience with the accuracy of the department's scoring? Up in Region 3 its kind of a local joke since they have had alot of turnover in recent years and are always lower than registered B&C scorers get. I know every office and scorer has to be different. Someone said if you had a score sheet done and signed by someone certified that they have accepted that before, anyone seen that?

Youth deer for the kids. Any sheep hits yet?

This is from the agenda for the board meeting later this week to be held in Kingman:

Supposedly it all started with a politician’s friend who didn’t like the off-roading and land destruction near Sedona.

Has this already been discussed here? I haven't been able to find the thread. Supposedly this is already signed into law? When was/is it affective? I'm confused because it says you now have to have a drivers license to drive OHV anywhere in the state of AZ, but there are also areas that make is sound like people between the ages of 12-16 can drive but I can't tell when/where that is allowed since in a later paragraph it says you have to have a drivers license? Also, it seems to say that people UNDER 12 can NEVER drive an OHV, which seems to include all off-highway vehicles and adds in dirt bikes. Am I missing something here or do I need to sell my toys my 5 kids are fond of driving? haha 6.
