OverHeard about the AZ Draw

[cormanaz]

I don't post in this place much anymore, and I didn't look through the posting to find out if it's already been posted, but I had to post this. I over heard from a VERY RELIABLE source (My Source will remain nameless) that the Fall draw here in AZ gave 53% of thier tags to "out of staters". I of course was one of the unlucky and got the shaft. Just thought all the AZ hunters out there might like to know. Keep in mind that I can not confirm this to be 100% True, It's only something I heard. But if it is true, I'm thinking about giving my money to a different state from now on.

I believe that figure is correct for North of the River tags like Strip and Kaibab Premium tags. Last two years have been tough on getting tags in my home state. Nothing for the family last year and NADA for this year. Hope all who drew have a great hunt.......... Thanks, Allen Taylor......

WE ALMOST HAD THE FIRE OUT BETWEEN THE ARIZ. RESIDENT, AND NON RESIDENTS/ PRETTY MUCH FIGURED WE NEED TO STICK TOGATHER/ WERE ALL HUNTERS. DID YOU HAVE TO POUR GAS DIRECTLY INTO THE FLICKERING FLAMES????? THIS DIDN'T REALLY HELP. YD.

Heard direct from G & F that all units North of the Big Ditch were either right at or over 50% of AZ permits going to Non Residents. Heard the same thing for AZ bull elk hunts, though not verified. I would bet the farm that more non-residents got bull elk tags than the people that live here. Can't wait till the cap is back next year. Thank you Harry Reid.

The nonresident draw percentage of those hunts was so high (more than the % of nonresidents applying), because nonresidents have so many more points, due to the 10% cap being on for so many years. While 50% of the tags going to nonresidents is far to high, I feel 10% is too low. 15%-20% seems fair to me. Not sure what will happen, it should be something that does not get anybody upset too much. The 10% cap started the whole mess, and what is in place now is worse. Perhaps it could have all been avoided with a comprimise that is fair to all.

and to think I didn't draw. I guess next year I will have to put some folding money in the letter.

 

[Bugler]

and teh amount of folks applying went down by a third approximately from what i have been told. Go figure, anyways I wish we would stay with the paper draw.

 

[AZ402]

Deer applications went DOWN 5.8%, elk applications went DOWN 9.4 %, antelope applications went DOWN 27 %, turkey applications went DOWN 18%, bighorn sheep applications went DOWN 39.7% and buffalo applications went DOWN 86%!

 

[AZH88USO]

93.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot. This number is actually up .387% from this time last year and if history is any indicator of the uture, we might see this hit 93.5% this time next year.

Gotta go refill my salt shaker now.

Look at this link. The USO case against Nevada was dissmissed. Shouldn't this affect all the States?http://www.ndow.org/about/news/pr/071805lawsuit.shtm
