So why would OTC end, but leave OTC rifle? Seems ridiculous, so educate me. I've never heard of a successful version of the North American big game model with OTC rifle, but limited primitive weapons?
I'm a long time MM member (since 2005), view often, just hadn't logged in the last 2 years and my account was cleared and re-set.
My father just got a call for a surrendered SW desert archery elk permit. Due to his age, this is is likely his only / last elk permit in Utah (non-resident)...
PleaseDear - yes I printed the apps out, thanks I didn't know this was an option.
ElkManDan - thanks for great information, details and links. This is how I thought it worked around 5 years ago last time I checked into this (guess I mistakenly thought the rules had changed somewhere along the...
Hi we're looking to understand our options to withdraw only our NR archery elk application this late in the game (2 people). We applied as a group, and now we both will not be able to hunt due to schedule, work, funds, and conflicting hunts in other states. What I can find online only seems to...
Congrats on a GIANT Shane! PM Sent.
I hunted this buck with AZSB nearly the entire archery season - definitely a different deer than posted above. They worked as hard as anyone could to try and get me a shot at him, definitely a class act guide service. Unfortunately all the rain we had...
I drew my first non-resident tag in new mexico this year, an archery antelope tag for AMU 20. It looks like this unit is basically unit 17 for elk and deer which many are familiar with. I'm planning a short scouting trip this summer and have a few questions for those familar with the unit...
Cabbage. It is supposed to be near the same size and water density as a human head and it explodes into salad when shot at about 15-20 yards. A neat demonstration for sure.
I've seen a few big ones, but the one that I'll never forget was in 12A on the archery hunt, 190+ typical in velvet. He ran off with my arrow in his side, a little high and behind the shoulder. Found the arrow and it had about 10-12 inches of penetration. I never found him, despite 2 weekends...
I do agree with bubbas, that his assumption will not cause the max bonus point pool to increase faster or higher than the current system. In fact, it should slow the max bonus point pool creep by taking more tags from the lower tiers. This is just a tag redistribution topic, but most of us who...
Bubbas,
I replied to your original draw change proposal, and basically I stated that these changes are short-term solutions to more complicated problems than the simple 5th grade math equation above - the cause and effect described earlier. Supply and demand will not be in equilibrium in AZ...
