Guys, I have been on the sidelines for a long time without a post. I am a non-resident to Arizona. Let me start by explaining that I am not trying to raise hackles here but lets look at the facts. I have been preaching to Arizona residents for years that the system in place is unfair, and will be attacked. I am totally in agreement that residents should be given a majority of the tags, but the problem in Arizona has been the vagueness of how many are allocated to non-residents for elk and deer north of the river. For years I have lobbied your game department to set a fixed quota as they do in all other Western states. Set it at a fair number, between 10 and 20%, put the non-residents in this draw, and the problem is solved. The current system calls for "no more than 10%"... Well what is "no more than?", is it 1%, 2%, what is it? Is is a joke.... Set a number like all other states (Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, etc...) Problem solved, no lawsuit, everybody happy.... Sorry to rain on the parade but the current system is flawed whether you want to believe it or not. I am not a friend or supporter of USO, but truly the system should be changed to reflect what Arizona residents are privy to in adjoining states... My $0.02 worth.....
