    Camera found on AZ Strip

    Just a suggestion. You might check and see if the photos have a location tag. If so, it might help narrow down where the owner lives.

    5A

    "He said he can't find the bulls if he can't hear them bugle." How about hunting as if it's not the rut? Look!

    Easy Access Camping?

    89A goes out of Flagstaff to Sedona via Oak Creek Canyon. The first 8 miles or so is up at 7000 ft elevation then drops down thru "switchbacks" into Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. Normally (unless fire danger gets extremely high) the Coconino NF is open to dispersed camping with no permit or...

    Waiting to hear from AZ G&F Director Larry Voyles

    I may be wrong, but I consider scouting with a license part of hunting. In any case, I put a small .22 pistol in my pocket and hunt rabbits ;) >Your right Don, as long as >your hunting. > >If you have a hunting license >in your pocket and your >just out scouting, not hunting, >then your...

    Received a Citation !!!!

    The citation is public record as soon as it is issued. It will be adjudicated in a court, then if found guilty the Commission might take up the question of loss of privileges. I'd be interested in knowing who the issuing officer was.

    Big Threat to Average Joes in Arizona

    "non-club members wouldn't be impacted" Sorry, I have my doubts about that. Take the proposal for early access to draw results for club members. Doe that mean that they will just withhold the results beyond when they are finished with the process for the scum that don't belong to the club...

    The odds for elk just went up....

    This year will be interesting for G&F. The tag, license, and application fees that were put in as part of the "license simplification" process will put a strain on some folks. I spoke at the Commission meeting when they approved these new fees. I said they had just priced me out of turkey...

    Lets revisit the Kaibab National Monument issue!

    Very perceptive Don. As you and most others well know, it was in the last days of the Clinton administration that he and Bruce Babbitt designated the Parashant, Ironwood, etc. national monuments in AZ. Bruce

    HB-2072 officially "dead"!

    Well, that would certainly be good news....but, is this the same Pete C. that wrote the letter a few weeks ago saying "Kill HB 2072" then continued to advocate for the "concept" which was being pushed while we all knew that the number "2072" was already dead?

    How to Contact Your Legislators Made Easy

    The Arizona State Legislature is a bicameral body with 30 members in the Senate and 60 members in the House of Representatives. Each district is served by one Senator and two House members. It is most effective to send a personal note to your own legislators. They want your vote. Written...

    AZ Wildlife Federation Position on HB2072

    THANK YOU so much AZ Wildlife Federation for publishing a thoughtful and complete statement! If others will follow and make their rejections in written form publically, that will go a long way toward invalidating the claims of support from AZSFW. Bruce

    AZSFW Proposed Changes to HB2072

    Successful 12 b early hunts !

    The hunt gets better as time goes on and more and better deer move down from UT. The last day of the hunt will be the best day. More deer and few hunters. Most will have shot spikes and forkies and gone home by then. Stay as close to the UT border as possible since that's where 90% of the...

    AZ sheep units/ guide questions

    Just a minor point, but there is no unit that "requires" max points to draw. That said, the units with the most people with max points in relationship to the number of tags for the unit are most likely to fill on the bonus point round. It all depends on the luck of the 200+ people with max...

    Draw Passes

    Your prayers are answered Creed. Everyone goes into the 20% round and those with the most bonus points are picked. If there are more with a given number (max) of points than available (at 20%) those with the lowest random numbers are picked. After the 20% draw, all remaining applications are...

    Draw Passes

    Good explanation Bob. One more point, unless you plan to use choices 3-5, there is no need to put any second choice. Just putting a first choice will have the same result. Just makes me wonder, what would happen if you put a first choice, no second, and a third? Is there any requirement to...

    264 Win Mag Load Help?

    LT - Thanks for the tip on Bergers. I've read about them and they seem to have legendary accuracy, but I wondered about them in the Westerner. They recommend seating them in the lands and they are a long bullet. Could you load them to seat in the lands and still fit in the magazine? They...

    264 Win Mag Load Help?

    Thanks guys for the tips! Hey sixpack, it's good to know someone else is still using these old Westerners. I'm curious, have you found your rifles to be fussy about what you load them with? Mine sure seems to be. I've got newer rifles that will shoot most anything into about the same group...

    264 Win Mag Load Help?

    I have a pre-64 Winchester model 70 Westerner .264 magnum that I've owned for 35 years and rarely shot.

    Free Ammo

    Guys, the G&F program is a great program, but they are fighting a huge lobby to ban lead in ammunition. My least favorite group in the whole world, The Center for Biological Diversity, recently petitioned the Feds to ban lead in ammunition nationwide. We have a big fight coming up.

    13B Rifle Deer

    Where do you live? I'm in Flagstaff. I'm no expert on 13B but I have hunted it 3 times in the last 16 years and spent a total of about 65 days scouting and hunting. I'd be happy to go over maps with you.
