    12A West Early Hunt

    I perused some of my notes (both good and bad) and old posts on here about various AZ outfitters. Before you choose, do an internet search of them and poaching. And then ask them if they or anyone on their staff have poaching accusations or convictions. Then make your decision.

    12A West Early Hunt

    I don't have any experience in those units, or any others in AZ. I just know how to read TopRut and draw odds! :) I've got elk and muley points tho. Have to cash them in sometime!

    1st timer South Dakota Archery Mule Deer - DIY

    I bow hunted private land near Herrick in 2020, or was it 2021? Anyway, I was surprised at how many deer I saw each day. I'm not talking about watching a bunch in an alfalfa field from 500 yards away, I'm talking about be still because they are close. IT was probably 30+ per day. I also...

    Anybody still hunt with a Wood Stock ?

    I have to say no, I don't USUALLY hunt with a wooden stock. However, mom remarried and I was gifted a nice Weatherby O/U from his collection at Christmas. I've used it for skeet, but wanted to kill a turkey with it, so I bought some choke tubes and did just that. Too nice of a gun to tote...

    How many firearms do you own? (Poll)

    One. Red Ryder Range Model 200 shot air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time. Deadly on elk out to 1000 yards. :D :D

    WYGF stiffs NR, then begs them for $

    Combining various posts above and doing the math, NR license fees are 77% of $56MM, or about $43MM. And that $43MM is roughly 53% of the total revenue, of around $82MM. Correct me if I'm wrong. 53% is still a big portion of the overall revenue stream.

    Credit card $.25?

    25 cents? Must be a resident tag! It'd be $1000 if it was a NR tag!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Seriously, is it from CO DNR? Often times places of business will send a small charge to check the card prior to the transaction, then refund it. Think gas pump, to prevent someone from filling up...

    WYGF stiffs NR, then begs them for $

    Replacing 77% of their income will be quite a challenge! Just curious, what is the total G&F budget?

    WYGF stiffs NR, then begs them for $

    WOW! 77% of WYG&F revenue comes from NRs! The OP said it best... But don't 💩 on me and then beg me for more money for your pet projects when residents aren't willing to step up and pay for them. But, you do get a kool little coffee mug for your donation! And one of em has a wolf on it...

    Anyone know Aram Von Benedikt?

    Got my Peterson's Hunting mag out of the mailbox this morning, and on the front cover at the top is the statement "Why you SHOULDN'T Shoot Long Range." Curious who wrote the article, I flipped to it. No, it wasn't written by Aram, but by Joseph Von Benedikt! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: If I'm not...

    .410 turkey pistol is DONE!

    Don't know how I missed this thread! But, kool little gun. And yes, I agree with you, about 30 yards seems to be the limit based on those patterns. And finally, congrats on a couple of MS birds!

    Watcha gonna do?

    Niced buck. Nice video. And nice shot. When you practice at that range and know your equipment, that's the result. A good one! Me on the other hand, I don't practice at that range and don't know my equipment at that range, so I'd need to get about 300 yards closer. Thanks for sharing.

    Clapton vs Bonamassa

    Answering the OP's question, Clapton. Been a fan of his for, OMG, almost 50 years! He's definitely at or near the top of the list. Man has 9 lives though. Glad he's still around. Bonamassa is dang good also. SRV died in a helicopter crash in 1990. He was touring and opening for Clapton at...

    Bonus Point odds are up

    Yep. Multiple possibilities. Just very odd that 5 of the tags went to NRs with only 2 points. Lucky applicants that's for sure.
  29. Joe2Kool

    Bonus Point odds are up

    Wow! At a minimum, one lucky group of NRs and one lucky NR! Or more likely, an AZGFD draw screwup! :unsure: :unsure:

    Bonus Point odds are up

    I noticed Unit 8, Hunt Code 3138, took 14 points for a NR to draw in the Bonus Round, but 5 NRs drew with only 2 points in the 1-2 pass. Can 5 NRs apply in one group? If so, that's a lucky group. If not, that's 5 EXTREMELY lucky NRs!!

    Javelina hunt

    Glad you didn't get stuck again! :) :) Nice Euro! Hope you can fix the jawbone. No experience there, but I"ve learned if my DIY Euros simmer/boil too long, they get brittle. I've switched to the pressure washer/short boil method.

    Interesting Graph Upper Shoshone Mule Deer Antler Size

    It would be interesting to see the number of deer in each sample size. I'd guess in any study, the 5,6,7 year-old category is much smaller, than 2,3,4's. It is interesting to see the relationship between the blue, orange, and red bars is the same for 2,3,4,5 year-olds. I'm guessing that is...

    How to tell my taxidermist his work is not as good as it once was?

    This seems like a very reasonable approach. It puts the emphasis on "this is what I prefer" instead of "I don't like what you're doing." Yea, both say the same thing but the latter could cause a defensive reaction.
