    Report Finds That New Mexico’s Elk Licensing System Favors Wealthy Landowners and Out-of-Staters Over Residents

    NMWF was so proud when they got NR's cut to 6%. In fact all they did was drive NR's to landowner tags and reinforce the landowner strangle hold on the state. Well done!

    Report Finds That New Mexico’s Elk Licensing System Favors Wealthy Landowners and Out-of-Staters Over Residents

    Why do Game and Fish departments always walk away from easy revenue? They aren't going to get rid of landowner tags, so simply charge $5,000 for each landowner tag. It would easily double their 46 million budget.

    Bonus Point Report – 2023 Elk-Pronghorn

    NR with lifetime license claiming the department called him yesterday and is mailing a tag because he was falsely under the 10% cap. From coueswhitetail.com https://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/115033-anyone-else-get-a-call-from-azgfd-about-draw-mixup/

    Radio question.......

    We use the Baofeng's with nagoya 771 and 701 antennas. They seem to have fairly good range, good battery life. Stick with the FRS/GMRS channels if you are worried about licensing. It's easy to get the license too.

    Simplify what tech should be banned/restricted

    Seems the decline coincided with the rise of battery operated devices. Instead of limit or banning, why not shift tags to, or add more, primitive seasons?

    Elk 4B North Early Bull Tag

    I believe those 4B North hunts used to be for north of the Hutch Ranch Road. Going all the way to the Apache Sitgreaves boundary opens up some pretty good areas. I think it will be a fun hunt! My wife just got a cow over there on a management hunt and there were no shortage of elk. Good luck!

    3B Early Archery

    Those dates will make the last week of that hunt absolutely phenomenal. There will be some big bulls moving in from Unit 1 and the Rez. Always one or two 370+ bulls in the Woolhouse by that time. It's going to be an incredible hunt if that's what you drew!

    I'd day draw a line from Chino Valley to Prescott Valley/Dewey to Camp Verde/Cottonwood to Payson would be best for temperate weather. More elk and small stream fishing on and around the Payson side.

    Credit Card Hits

    Invalid card rejection due to fraudulent activity doesn't necessarily mean you won't get the tag(the following is the reason they started charging cards soon after the update deadline). Happened to me several years ago. My card was part of a major credit card theft that made the news. I drew...

    25-06 Ammo

    I think the heaviest bullet made for the 25-06 is 120 grain. Wish someone would come out with a 135-140 grain, would be good for elk I think.

    AZ Elk unit 12,13

    Last year, at this time, there was a small herd hitting spare tank about every 1-2 weeks. Its by the Saddle Mtn Overlook on the east side, close to the GC boundary. Probably best to go before the green up and the park opens, like this month. Kinda weird elk hunting in April though! Good luck.

    FWIW, a similar thing happened to me a few years ago. Back when the credit card update deadline was 7-10 days before the running of cards. I had my credit card compromised and shut down the day before they ran the cards. Ended up not getting the tag. BUT, I emailed all the commissioners...

    Fair chase--laser scopes and trail cameras

    Here's an idea. why doesn't the AZGFD put their own trail cameras on every tank and charge $10 a month(or something similar) to anyone who wants to see what is on each camera? Would be easy money for an alleged cash strapped department. I think trail cameras are fine to have and use, however...

    Is it time for the state of Arizona to change how it views guides & outfitters?

    All those states mentioned also have Landowner tags and guided tag set asides in the draw. Terrible idea for AZ. Things are fine the way they are. Anyone looking for a guide knows how to find a reputable one. They found you didn't they?

    Unit 27 Late Mule Deer

    LAST EDITED ON May-16-15 AT 00:13AM (MST)[p]NMPaul, 27 is probably the best of all the new late hunts. However, 14 points is pretty close to a 13A archery tag. If the dates work I would always take that hunt over the 27 hunt. No comparison in quality... PM me if you desire.

    This stinks for the average resident hunter. But they should have gone after landowner tags long before cutting 40% of NR tags and 100% of cow elk tags. Very short sighted to eliminate the average NR from the political process. However as a NR I think this is great! Give all the tags to...
