Hard to believe in 2005 I had max points which was 15 and could have had just about any tag in the state.

Good luck getting anything done with The Wild Horse and Burro act in place

Seems the only ones jumping on a name and damaging a reputation are guys from this site or AZGFD😂

Shane might lose his guides license before then, got caught flying a plane over the strip when he had a tag 2 years ago. Can find it in arizona public case lookup under David Koury. Kinda sad

Looks like Shane is back on the September 5th agenda.

Atlatl throwing dart no less than five feet in length and no more than eight feet in length, equipped with a sharpened head having a blade no less than 7/16 inch cutting radius from the center of the shaft with metal, ceramic-coated metal, or ceramic cut ting edges. AZGFD definition

Javelina and turkey

Arrow or bolt; ii. Atlatl throwing dart; iii. Hybrid device,; or iv. Pneumatic weapon .35 caliber or larger.

Yes that would be 440 yards

440.

Expired December 31st. If you bought one for January 2025 that tag is good for the January season, August season and the December season.

You have until the close of business on October 23rd, to pointguard your tag. I would wait a little longer to see what happens.

David Shane Koury Docket # 2025-0020 Use Aircraft to Locate within 48 hours of Open Big Game Hunt. Looks like Friday another guide will lose his privileges.

The guys that have buffalo tags for August 1st better have bought point guard

The fire is 44% contained and unless another fire breaks out south of Jacob’s lake I think the archery hunters will be ok.

It’s for his other kid, the one that harvested a desert is done. He can now concentrate on his rocky.

AZGFD

If you’re referring to what WM’s make now they start off way above minimum wage

AZGFD doesn't get Junetenth off,

Unfortunately I think the data has shown it’s quite a bit more than a “few” people abusing the privilege.

Looks like cards should be charged by the morning of the 17th.
