Back when the fee was paid upfront (in AZ), it was done by check/money order. When the drawing moved to an online system, that was no longer possible. Arizona's banking laws do not allow for you to pay upfront by credit card for something you aren't guaranteed to receive. So, as long as there...

I am so sorry to hear about your tragic loss.

What are the current prices?

"I am in favor of a one-time temporary permit if you have already drawn the tag. This can only be used once. After that, you apply for hunts that fit your abilities without any special permits." This.

Give me the bigger buck and fewer deer every time!

<----<<< Technically, my Hoyt killed the biggest buck I've ever seen (my Avatar), but fortunately I was the one shooting it! Over 37 inches wide with an official net score that is just a few eighths of an inch shy of 260. I've been very fortunate to take animals of several species with my bow...

They will have an electronic tagging app on your phone in the next year or so. They're trying to move away from a physical tag.

"I will be curious as to how many of the deer killed were taken with crossbows." Me too. And for the first time, mandatory reporting is required and it is asking that question. The data has never been available before. No solution is going to be perfect for everyone. This one is just trying...

"What we’re gonna see is hoards of people in 3 units come January. Unintended consequences." That was absolutely GUARANTEED to happen if the system hadn't been changed and more and more of the OTC hunts were moved to a drawing each year as was planned. At least under the new system, there's a...

bigbull, you forgot to mention that the older animal produces far more meat for the hunter than the young animal, all while taking the same amount of animals from the field.

Great buck!

41 is huge! Congratulations.

What's a Sportsman Deer? The Super Raffle tag?

$50, they're pretty proud of a small piece of metal.

Did you end up hiring an outfitter, if so who?

If "pull the trigger" actually means a trigger on a gun, the last animal I shot was in 2004. If a bow is included, August, 2021, Africa.

You're obviously doing something (or a LOT of things) right! Congrats.

It plunged below 90 for the high last week here in Phoenix. Brrrr.....

Fantastic buck, and good for you for having him officially measured by P&Y!

Try flying over the air space of a communist country and I'll bet they will define "contact" for you! Ha

While winning the case would definitely send an important message, unfortunately, the only way it could actually create case law that can be cited in future cases is if the hunter actually loses this case and wins it on appeal in some higher court later.

I think the O.P. answered his own question. When the horns were officially (?) measured, they were likely without hair and you could accurately measure to the true base. Once mounted, the hair covers the bases, and there is no real accurate way to measure the length once they've been mounted...

THAT is in 100% violation of the rules of every record program. Trophies must be kept at habitable (room) temperature for the entire 60 days, not in a refrigerator or freezer.

There won't be a 4th!! Congratulations on a very nice buck.

So far, I haven't been able to fit the dates I want with available dates in 2022, but still working at it. Also, the place I was planning to hunt in the Northern Cape burned-up recently...so there's that.

The "restoration" of these tribal customs will be to allow white hunters to pay huge amounts of money to go on the reservation and kill them.

I have found it interesting that when women (non-hunters) ask you where you shot an animal, they're always asking about where in the body you hit it. When men ask, they always want the location it was killed. Therefore, if I woman asks me I tell them an area, and when men ask I point at a spot...

That's a great buck! I don't recall your posting it previously. It's also an outstanding mount. I really like the choice of form and the taxidermy work.

State Record Crappie By State Great fish! Not sure how old this is, but it should give you an idea of the size of the state record crappie in each state.

Only the Desert for me.

You couldn't even mount that Bullwinkle buck. Everyone would just assume the taxidermy was terrible and not that the buck grew that way.

Amazing old 5 x5!

Only took a Javelina in AZ this year, but it was my second-highest scoring one ever (skull size).

Just curious what makes you sure he's the same buck? I'm not saying he's not, he may very well be. I was just interested if he has some unique mark etc. that allows you to know it's the same one? As far as him being a brute in a couple of years, if it is the same buck he looks pretty much...

Blue Wildebeest!

Congratulations on your hunt.

I assume they just added that "opportunity" so that those that hunters that draw deer tags could have the chance to buy them in the event the 750 tags they sell as left-overs (good across all four units) are taken before the deer hunters have the chance to buy them. If you look in the elk...

Great looking bucks and conversation! It's my understanding, from B&C, is that the number of bucks that qualify with three mass measurements under the prongs is only 2-3 out of all the entries, not 1 out of 100 as mentioned above. Also, it needs to be mentioned that Pope and Young does NOT...

The wolves will be released there soon enough.
