AZ hit my CC late this afternoon, so either
First choice- Unit 10 Early Rifle – Hunt #3005
or
Second choice- Unit 7W Late Rifle Bull – Hunt #3019

Blessed!

Well if anyone draws and is around 6a or b let me know if you snag something, I'll drive out and help pack out.

Got hit on 6a with our group! Looking forward to my first elk hunt

Nice of you Griggs!

Nice of you Griggs!

I like getting out, I've done a ton of rucking in my life so I don't mind, and I know how much it sucks if you're doing a solo hunt especially, lol.

Anyone have there bank card hit for 2021 elk yet?

 

[Orion’s Breath]

Not yet, check the other thread going on this subject - it sounds like things are likely going to be slower this year than last...

Does that offer apply in 3 years time when my son draws

Somehow all of the points my kids accumulated have disappeared. Has anyone else seen this?

 

[jackwsm]

The application history shows “BONUS POINT ONLY” each year, but gives the “aww no points” message in the points column. I’ll be glad to update here after a call to AZ next week.

Wow... a more than 10% increase in applications. Crazy.

No way! We keep being told here by several guys how much hunter numbers are going down and the end is near.

I don't know whether they are down overall in America or not, but there is a lot of interest in western hunting.

As I understand it, squirrel license sales in Kentucky are declining, causing the alarm for hunter recruitment.

Last year, we knew the results on 28 FEB. On the site, it says the draw is currently underway. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but I'm hoping it means I can start scouting soon (with fishing pole along - great fishing in N AZ during the summer!).

 

[Khunter]

WooHooo! And had to be on the random.

 

[Trial153]

Stocking up. For when I pull that random tag and shit my pants!

I'm from PA. PA sold over 1.3 million licenses (which include a deer tag) in 1982 when I was a freshman in college - and it's one per customer. Last year we sold about 860K. We've lost close to a half a million hunters a year in 40 years. Just to put 170K apps with an increase of 17K or whatever in perspective. This story is pretty much the same across the eastern half of the country.

Uh yeah, because it sucks.
