    Falconry license

    Sport Falconry License Application The sport of falconry (the use of raptors to obtain game animals) began in the 7th century and at times was restricted to the noblest of cultures. Historically, the effect of taking raptors from the wild has little impact to species abundance. Raptor populations were presumed to be at carrying capacity and falconers harvested only the number of birds that would be lost naturally before reaching breeding age. But as human populations and human induced population declines of raptors species increased (i.e. the use of DDT), most countries around the world began to regulate falconry. All North American raptors are protected by federal and state laws including: the Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Lacey Act, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Airborne Hunting Act, and various state statutes. Some of these federal laws allow the states to regulate the capture, possession, and use of raptors in Sport Falconry. Falconry in Arizona is defined as “the sport of hunting or taking quarry with a trained raptor.” The Arizona Game and Fish Department regulates the use of North American Raptors in Sport Falconry through state statutes, Arizona Game and Fish Commission Rules and Orders. These include: Applicable Arizona Revised Statutes – A.R.S. 17-101, 17-236, 17-301, 17-303, 17-304, 17-321, 17-371 Applicable Arizona Rules – R12-4-102, R12-4-104, R12-4-106, R12-4-304, R12-4-318, R12-4-401, R12-4-402, R12-4-403, R12-4-405, R12-4-406, R12-4-407, R12-4-409, R12-4-412, R12-4-422, 428, R12-4-801, R12-4-802, R12-4-803 Falconry Specific Rule: R12-4-422 Arizona Game and Fish Commission Orders, See Commission Order 25 AZGFD Laws and Rules Fee: $145 License Valid: The license is valid until the third December from the date of issuance.

    AZ Big Game Super Raffle

    I didn't read anything about AZGFD donating money to other states, and I haven't seen where there were any extra special tags for the Azbiggamesupperraffle.
  3. 654321

    AZGFD offering 12 Limited tags.

    New Mexico gives only 6% of its tags to nonresidents; AZ, UT, CA, OR, MT, ID, WA, only allocate 10% of tags to nonresidents; South Dakota gives 0% to nonresidents. I believe Nevada also has a cap on NR. Wy. is trying hard to get deer, elk and antelope also capped at 10% to NR.

    AZGFD offering 12 Limited tags.

    Pretty dang simple, if this doesn't interest you DON'T PUT IN.
  5. 654321

    AZGFD offering 12 Limited tags.

    If you were to win an auction tag or raffle tag you can exceed the bag limit for that species, back in the eighties there were so many leftover tags you could kill 2 deer a year as long as 1 tag was a leftover. Does Javelina sound familiar?

    I'll do 7 of the 12.

Interested, but not ready to go hunting yet? Don't worry, we still want you to come on out and see what the outdoor experience and wildlife conservation is all about. Hunting is just one portion of these events. Many of these camps are also open to people wishing to learn more about wildlife biology, ecology and their habitats; target shooting; archery; wildlife viewing; camping; social gatherings and more. If you are interested, just contact the camp host and let them know. We are always seeking out mentors and volunteers as well. Did you know?

    Begara vs. Christensen

    I just recently bought a CA Mesa in 300 win mag, CA's break in recommendation is 50 rounds. This sure seems like an awful lot for break in.

    Help! Big Horn tag in 37B!

    37B only has one hunt.

    Help! Big Horn tag in 37B!

    If it were my tag, I would definitely go to the sheep clinic if they still put it on. I would also contact the Region 6 AZGFD office and see if I could get in contact with the WM and the big game biologist.

    Duwane Adams ?

    If the AZGFD can conceivably make a baiting charge stick Duwane retiring from guiding won't help his cause. Baiting is a license revocable offense and that would defeat his reason for retiring since he wants to enjoy hunting with his grandchildren and children.
  13. 654321

    Duwane Adams ?

    I believe it was 1998 but a young man working for Adams was busted by AZGFD but I don't believe Adams got into any trouble for it himself the guide lived in San Manuel. Haven't heard of any other issues since then. Plenty of AZ guides or guides that work for big name AZ guides have been busted for various violations over the years. Chad Smith, John McClendon, Steve Ward, Jed Larson, Ryan Hatch even Blake Owens worked for a guiding outfit I believe. Where there is big money to be made and even bigger egos there is bound to be some foul play going on. Right now Wade Lemons out of Utah has a couple felony charges over hanging him one of them has to do with a bear killed by Trump Jr.

    It doesn't stop illegals can't imagine it slows wildlife down.

    Rim lakes?

    Knoll lake is barely off the boat ramp and has been stocked twice in the last 2 weeks. Blue Ridge is low but you can easily launch kayaks there and has been stocked with probably 7-9000 rainbows in the last 3 weeks.

    Deer/Sheep Regs

    Far more grandmas, grandpas, moms and dads applying for tags that dont hunt just to transfer a tag than antis hurting draw odds.

    Deer/Sheep Regs

    Antis would have to buy a license and a tag, highly doubt they would spend the money knowing it would directly benefit the exact thing they despise.
  20. It's OTC so "antis" don't have to put in for tags. The reason it hasn't happened for bear and lion is you're required to physically check in your bear or lion. It would take a large amount of man power but AZGFD should have the same requirement for archery hunters with the mandatory harvest reporting.

    Antis at it again. Lions and Bears.

    The recommendations that were proposed are exactly what passed on Friday, so the only spring hunts for 2023 bear are the non-permit hunts listed.
  23. When the department brings the commission orders for deer to the commission in December make sure and send in your comments or if you can show up in person and fill out a blue card. The same guy from the United States Humane society was at the meeting again today and spoke about the lion and bear orders, he's becoming a familiar face at the meetings.
  24. I believe he felt the seasons were to short. The department has made no effort to hide these limited entry hunts as being pure money makers to help meet their $10M in 10 years goal.
  25. Commision approved all the orders, archery harvest reporting will be just like bear and lion, you can either call it in or do it online. Order 30 this year will be much like last year with 4 mule deer hunts, 3 whitetail, 3 elk and 1 goulds turkey. Commissioner Davis wants to see the hunts more like the raffle and auction with year long seasons so expect to see some changes when they are brought up again at the December meeting.
