Can't find the bill of the 80's (Legislation) just the one in 2012

Amen, I have NO PROBLEM greatly increasing tag and general licenses. Most of the monies from auctions and raffles MUST go per legislation to wildlife habitat. License monies go to AZFG operations (I think).

First equipment can be controled First of all AZ HB 2073 that authorized wildlife tags for auction or raffle was passed in January 9, 2012. That is the bill that I can come up with(I may be wrong) So these tags have been around for only 12 years. The so called "cheese" and craziness has been...

Bad for the sport? Change the face of the sport? Sanctity of the sport? How about regular guys shooting 800 - 1200 yards+, muzzleloaders 600 yards + bows so technology easy that people pick one up first time and fire a dozen arrows and are experts, ,electric bikes , 4 wheelers running...

Raising prices on tags along which the price of general license might.

So you have seen where the funds go and are still apposed. Unfortunately money matters in the scheme of things. Those auction tags dollars will generate 2X the projects. But I guess this logic is lost in your righteousness. Thanks for YOUR lecture.

MD are struggling and numbers and quality are down in most states. Sheep have a problem with diseases and predation. The problem with license money going to fish and game is used mostly for operating budgets. Tag and raffle $ goes to the SPECIES. You obviously don't volunteer for game projects...

Would be doing a lot worse.

FYI EVERYBODY in the last 20 years 9.6 million has been raised for wild sheep. 6.8 auction tags - 2.8 raffles 2024 auction prices Desert bh 430K - elk 501K -MD-600k- prog-90K couse 58K 50% more than raffle tags will generate. Arizona needs to double Resident and Nonresident...

Sounds about right to me.

What your saying that is the additional(@300-500K) money directed funded at MD, sheep, or antelope, elk projects would not be a benefit, REALLY?? FYI how do you know that these people who buy these tags haven't donated money to wildlife causes? Like I said we have raffles and they don't generate...

Drought, predation, population encroachment just for starters.

Yes, Harvest ONE animal for the good of the entire species and all wildlife. 500K along with the energy of donated workers buys a lot of watering resources.

I really don't understand all this ENVY that people have with governor tags. Arizona where just about every huntable species is in decline and with record applications and population growth. I doubt that raffle sales will generate same income and benefits for the animals. Besides we have...
