OK not breaking AZGFD laws just most littering and dumping laws. Once you remove animals and take them to your house and then return the remaining carcass back to public land that would be considered illegal dumping.

I'm still waiting for a response from one of the employees that was on the team for the listening technology rule, but what I've gotten so far is that the rule is intended to get out ahead of the technology that would allow acoustic recording devices that can gather data linked to satellites and then somehow be downloaded to datafiles that then can be tied to gps technology or something like that. Hearing aids, cell phones and stuff like that weren't mentioned but when I get better clarification, I will pass it on.

This rule is solely to help keep CWD out of AZ. From what the AZGFD vet told me is there were a large number of AZ hunters hunting out of state and returning with cervids and dumping their remains on public and private property.

This is correct, if you harvest an animal and take it home and then process it at your house it is now illegal to go dump it on public or private property. You may do the gutless method on public or private and leave the remaining tissues or bones there. Rule was put in place for CWD purposes.

Guides that have their license revoked for a period of 5 years or more are now not allowed to even assist anyone in the taking of big game. That’s pretty cool.

Yep all those smart people banning Bud Light and switching over to Michelob Ultra. Somebody forgot to tell them same company. Didn't hurt them one bit

Looks like AZ Custom Hunts client killed a big bull. Pushing 438 with 78" of mass

Big court battle going on right now in WY.

Go to the AZGFD web page and look at the draw reports. This years deer aren’t posted yet

Canoes don't have to be registered unless they have a motor.

I would be very surprised if any trout were caught, it hasn't been stocked with trout in years. AZGFD is managing it as a warm water fishery now.

If you look at the draw reports there are plenty of units that NR don't hit the 10% cap.

It's not just AZ, every western state is seeing the same thing and the residents are starting to push back. I believe Colorado ended OTC NR archery elk tags, Wyoming went to 90/10 on moose and sheep and their residents are pushing hard for 90/10 on deer, elk and antelope. Tags are going to get a lot tougher to get from here on out.

By the numbers: 42,974: The total number of hunt permit-tags issued. 209,320: The total number of those who applied for hunts or bonus points. 168,863: The total number of applications submitted.

10-25-24 thru 11-03-24

The AZGFD can’t even keep up with hunter ED can you imagine the backlog for this. Of course the AZGFD should charge I don’t know $100 a class should cover it.

Twenty percent of authorized hunt permit-tags in each hunt number for deer, antelope, elk, turkey, javelina, and spring bear may be issued in this pass. Twenty percent of the total authorized hunt permit-tags (all hunt numbers combined) for both bighorn sheep and buffalo may be issued. Although 20 percent are available, the 10% nonresident caps are still in effect.

Flying a drone.

I actually know a guy from Pinetop that was given a warning for exactly what Pintail posted.

I drew a tag in 2005 with 15 points which was max points at the time and then drew an archery tag in 2007, haven't had a tag since.

If you're referring to me, I'm a U of A grad so I'll give them credit when credit is due but I will also bash the crap out of them when it's deserved. 😂

Wildcats got their a$$ handed to them at home, 0-2 and barbeque. Very short tournament for them.

Looks like the U of A softball team advanced to the super regional.

From what I've heard and seen there are still 6-8 foot drifts everywhere. I've heard they plan on plowing the road to the Big Lake turnoff, but that is as far as you'll be able to get.

It's going to be interesting to see how the jr hunts in unit 1 & 27 turn out. From what I've heard access is going to be super tough.
