Wow! Double dropper, double kicker, double main beam!

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?

Anyone willing to share some info on elk areas? Thanks for the advice so far. Anyone have info on a packer with horses or mules?

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)...

Nice bull congrats! PM sent.

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 have an archery antelope tag, I'm getting pretty excited for the upcoming season!

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.

12A east or west, early rifle hunt. Scout and pattern, and you'll find a few to go after.

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...

I'll start by saying that I currently am a: Bone Collector, Researcher, and Meat Hunter all in one! That's why AZ has such great opportunity, so it depends on the species each year. Some years I'm a bone collector for deer, elk, bear or turkey, and a researcher or meat hunter for the others...

I've searched and found people recommending the 350s and 250 depending on the bow poundage. I was going to go with the maxima 3d select 350s, but found the easton light speed 340s to be comparable and cheaper. I love the light speed 340s now.

Idaho.

They were old enough to play the point game when he started, so they should be grandfathered in my opinion. The same as waiting periods or a holding period in my mind, where should be frozen until eligible status. There's a difference between not applying, and not being able to apply. They...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-06-09 AT 06:22PM (MST)[p]At least you're being honest with yourself, and its about what you feel confident with, that is the point. Its not for me or anyone else to tell you what we think you should, or shouldn't do with your tag. Now realize that others have different...

I believe a mother or father can sign a tag down to a son/daughter as long as the parent hunts with the child. I'm not completely sure though so double check. In other words, you could put your wife in for bonus points only, build them up, then let your son apply with her or use her tag if...

Great buck, thanks for posting for us to see! Gitrdun, aren't the Henries Public Land? Do you mean general tag area?

I've got 12. Last year I posted on another site, since I wanted to exchange an archery lope app with someone who had high # of bp's, and they could apply with me on an archery elk app with my 12. I'm quite picky on the units and what I want to apply for, a resident so I only want residents on...

Congrats on another AZ archery buck! You really get the job done with your bow in hand. Thanks for sharing.

Buzz, I think OW is trying to say that the unit is managed to harvest older age class bulls, so by increasing tags in the early hunt the ratio of larger bulls is achieved. This works well with a never ending supply, or a very large population. However, Don's argument says that this is not the...

Here's a link to my 2009 archery desert mule deer! He measured right around 180, he's awesome! http://www.thearizonahunter.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1325 Sorry if you don't like posting links, but its easy and I just wanted to share.

I suggest writing the unit manager and asking him directly. I did it this year in another area I hunt, but the question involved buck and bull tags. He was very clear in the reasoning and decision making process, and explained everything. He basically said that his suggested or proposed tag...

I wanted to know which drop away rest all of you x force users find works best? I currently have a schaeffer for my hoyt. No, I don't like wisker biscuits.

My best 3 point, archery buck. A great desert buck but no where near booking, almost 28 inches wide though. I'd shoot him again in a heartbeat with my bow.

I just want to know why there are no NR tags! This is one of the archery tags I'd buy a point and license for years just to obtain. For Utah deer management in general, is a slap in the face, even despite the limited entry!

LAST EDITED ON Nov-12-08 AT 05:38PM (MST)[p]Sorry, I don't have any info for your unit, but. . . . You gotta love those wide desert 3 point bucks! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful country and bucks! Great story, thanks for sharing!

Great hunt pics and story, thanks for sharing! PM Sent.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-18-08 AT 05:59PM (MST)[p]I love this topic, but I respectfully disagree with most of the thoughts behind this article and what is being presented. It sounds like one of the major issues behind increasing the # of tags, is trying to gain more hunters for future legislation...
