Guys, I’ve never applied for the draw as a group in Az. I tried to find instructions and did not see them. Is it as simple as starting my app process and adding my partners info on my app or something? If that is correct, does the entire app need to be on one credit card or both? We do...

I have been told there a tons of bear in unit 21 and to get a tag to go along with my deer tag. Not sure if I want to do this yet but I will consider it to help with the management of bears if there is an over population. I'm not interested in bringing the meat back to Pa if I were to shoot...

Ok guys, I'm getting to the point in my research that I'm starting to look at size. When whitetail hunting I field judge (quickly from stand) the score using generalize calculations. Example, Medium width = 19", reg main beam lengths = 21" , Circumferences = 20 to 25" etc... Do you guys have...
