I think brain tumor was ruled out pretty early. They gave her a brain MRI in China, and a CT brain scan here in Indiana. Both came up negative. We have had two doctors now diagnose a combination of schizophrenia, psychosis & anxiety. I expect due to her persistent paranoia & delusions. She...
Sounds great in theory until reality steps in. Our GP moved away, and no nearby medical groups were taking new patients for two years. Finally had one move into town and was assigned by Marketplace. So 7/14 after four long months we finally will meet her. Not even for a physical, but for an...
Does anyone have a spouse with a serious stress/anxiety condition? I am beginning to wonder if my hunting/fishing activities are permanently over. My wife is 62 and just developed this condition which we are trying to address if a psychiatrist ever becomes available near us. Have an initial...
Now that I was able to unload 28 pronghorn points, I’ll be following your move shortly. Just need to spend 19 deer points which may have some value. The rest have miniscule odds I’ll walk from. Either spend that coin in Idaho or just drop one state.
I don't recall you reaching out to help me with that legislation either. Probably before your time? You make yourself look real stupid to anyone who takes the time to search the MM archives. The reporter's name was Crystal Cruz, who went on to take a news anchor job at KCBS Los Angeles. I...
A "taker"??? Son, you must not have been around in 2012 when HB2072 was working it's way through the Arizona legislature. I personally stopped that bill by blowing the whistle to KTVK and getting three TV segments nailing the sponsor, Jerry Weiers, to the cross. The bill that would have...
I have max nonresident points and of course also failed to draw. Yes, the point peddling policy is a disgrace. There’s a reason the state won’t publish the true draw stats given all the watering down they set up. Also, I believe NR’s only get 8% not 10 since the outfitter welfare bill passed.
I expect you are familiar with that hunt, but just in case you'd like some input let me know. I've hunted the unit 4 times, including one late rifle. Quite familiar with the routine.
I told my wife she can turn mine back in over my dead body.
Even cancelled a CC yesterday so my AZ archery MD app is voided. Seasons virtually mirror each other and I'm not interested in a distraction.
Northeast Unit 72/74/75 third choice rifle pronghorn. A nice year to draw as I have no Sept elk tag. Will add an activity to combo a Utah scouting trip wife & I had planned anyway. And her first Yellowstone NP visit. Now glad I chose to save my CO pronghorn points.
You do know all your point values will be cut in half in 2028, right? I did not draw deer but already have a lock unit for a plan B 4th season next year. Good enough, and already hunted there 4th season previously. So no scouting necessary.
BlakeA, Really sorry if you can't handle other's opinions. I just answered the OP's question with the truth, my honest opinion, and with respect, as Randy requests. It would be great if you could do the same, and refrain from unprovoked personal attacks. And follow the forum rules you agreed to...
BlakeA, If you can't follow the forum rules, as Randy says "It's time for you to go elsewhere". Can you read?
Some forum etiquette, since such seems to be lacking around here lately. These are nothing different than what you agreed to when you signed up.

I used to do rifle only as well, but with odds still dropping yearly despite 27 squared points, I made my 3rd, 4th & 5th choices all archery, all species this year. In an attempt to burn points and exit the system. Same for Utah. I want out of both these donations.
I’ve not drawn a tag in a random system since 2012 = 35 x 15 = 525 lotteries, with twelve in the 1-2% range. But several every year in the 3-30% range. This year includes 4@3%, 4%, 3@5%, 3@7%, 9%, 10%, 12%, 27%. This has been very typical of the previous 15 years. Still not one tag. That’s...
I quit making donations for the ones with odds below .0002% or with 90% of the tags auctioned. That left four. And if I can ever burn my elk points on some low tier archery unit, I'll promptly walk the following year.
