Being perfectly honest, that unit can be a more challenging hunt. Even if you hop a corner or two, its not covered in antelope. Hunting with a muzzleloader adds another degree of difficulty that might not make that hunt the best experience. I think there are just generally better options out...
I had no business drawing this tag, but I'm certainly going to try and do it justice. Hunting pronghorn in AZ is pretty high on my bucket list and this will almost certainly be my OIL chance.
I understand the challenges this unit presents to NR diy hunters, but I am going to give it my best...
Yep, let's just keep feeding them and see what happens. It will all be ok 🙄
Let's just promise to revise this thread in 5 years. It's bookmarked and on my calendar.

It will all be ok though. Despite warnings from every...
People bring up this analogy all the time, like the behavior of free-ranging elk in eastern Wyoming is somehow comparable to the behavior of sedentary elk that spend their entire winter on a feedlot. You might as well be comparing the behavior of a salmon to that of an aquarium fish, it is...
If wolves had killed two elk on a feedground, sportsmen would be losing their minds, but since its a disease, its got to just be a boogeyman or a conspiracy.
Honestly, I have become numb to the conspiracy theories and eye rolls that this issue generates from sportsmen. I assisted with CWD...

I'm glad to see so many people showed up in support of reasonable wildlife management practices.
Hopefully Schmid took notice.
