Hey guys,

It is that time again. Time to mark Saturday March 5th on your calendar. That is when the 9th anual Arizona Hunters Who Care Trash Pickup Day will be held. In case you dont know what this about, Arizona Hunters Who Care is the fastest growing grass roots hunting orginization in the state. We strive to give back to the sport that has given us so much.

Our Trash Pickup Day will be held on March 5th, at the intersection of Hwy 286 and Arivaca Road (unit 36). Everything will be provided, gloves, trash bags, and lunch. All you need to do is show up and work for however long you can. The event will kick off at 8:00am and lunch will be from 12:00 to 1:00.

If any of you are wondering, will cleaning up units 36a 36b and 36c. All of these units and the wildlife that use them have been devistated by the illegal allien traffic. Areas that used to be prime Mule deer, whitetail, Javalina and quail habitat, now have trash that sometimes is 2 feet deep. And hunters are the only one willing to make a difference. Last year our spring cleanup day had 128 people and our fall cleanup day had 180 people. We have made a big difference. Many of the ranchers whose property is trashed, have promised to keep their land open for hunting access, because of the good work hunters have done for them.

This will be a great event to meet other hunters, G&F unit managers, Border patrol officers, and officials from the Buenos Aires Wildlife Refuge. Come on down and bring the whole family. Teach you kids about giving back to the wildlife that has giving us so much.

If any of you are willing or able to help in set up or donations, please call my self at 955-4090 or Gabe Paz in the Tucson G&F office.

thanks for your help,

anyone coming?? Come on guys, I know a bunch of you hunt in the 36 units. Show up and hael give back to wildlife...
 
Bumping this thread to the top again!

All who can show-up should definitely make it a point to do so! This is an awesome event to participate in! I know that many of you coues hunters are always looking for an excuse to get out into coues country!!!

The Arizona Deer Association has joined SCI Tucson in helping to sponsor this thing, and we're going to make it quite a big show! We will be raffling-off 2 (yes two!!!) .22 rifles to youth's ONLY, and a .223 in a general raffle. No raffle tickets to purchase, just show-up and pick-up trash. The more trash you pick-up, the better your chances of winning a rifle!

As the Youth Chairman for the Arizona Deer Association, I would encourage anyone who has kids to bring them on down for a family day! Maybe win a rifle, and meet some great people.

The Arizona Deer Association would be a good group for you and your sons to get involved with. Go to the website www.azdeer.org or call the deer hotline at 602-395-DEER and join up. 100% of the fundraising goes to wildlife............... Thanks, Allen Taylor......
 
Do you guys ever get down around units 29 or 30a we would love to help out in my area CM I know gabe paz very well great guy
 
We are considering expanding the cleanup next year to areas south of Sonoita, but we are open to new idesa. The problem is that this event has grown so fast, it is getting very hard to organize with little help. We are expecting over 250 people next weekend. The is a huge task to organize that amount of people and feed them. If you are interested in heading up a cleanup in your neck of the woods, we would gladly coordinate our next cleanup to include sending people your way.

Yes, hats off to Gabe Paz...
