I did not get as much meat as I would have liked. Quarters, tenderloins, and back straps. I would have liked to get more rib and neck meat and some of the liver, heart etc. But it was hot with a decent pack out and i wanted to get things on ice. Quite a bit of bloodshot around the shoulders...
Lots of firsts with this one, first successful solo hunt, first elk, first time using gutless method, first pack out. I stalked into her bed from my glassing spot a mile away. Shot from 110 yards.
I have had good luck calling the office numbers. I politely ask for help with a specific problem or question, and they either fix it or answer right there or direct me to someone who can.

Thanks @FlatlanderAZ. Your response has given me something to think about. Primarily, why can't AZGD give consistent numbers for OTC tag sales? You have precise numbers from Mr Komadina. My numbers are not as precise, because I read them from the chart I posted, which comes from Ms Amber Munig...
Your response seems less like a dialogue and more like an inquisition. I'll note you didn't acknowledge the points Big Fin made about drought and hunter success rates.
A point he didnt make is that most ( or half, see edit below) of the additional OTC tag sales since 2018 have gone to...
Always check out the far side of logs before you hop over. The log was partially blocking the trail. I walked around, so I spotted this guy from the far side.

According to the state's OTC tag numbers (thanks @rustednuts), the total number of NR OTC tags has increased from ~1300 to ~3200 since 2007 statewide. The res OTC tags have increased from ~21000 to ~ 27000 in the same time. While the rate of increase in the NR is larger, NR are still far...
I'm with Wallydeuce. GoHunt might be letting the perfect be the enemy of the good on their mobile app. At some point you need to get a working product out there. You can release updates later. I also have both services, and don't use the GoHunt mapping service at all, because I still use OnX for...
Watching the AZGFD live webcast of the hunt recommendations right now. For the reduced deer OTC, fawns per doe is trending down state wide over the last few years. Hunter success is trending up at the same time. And the guidelines limit total archery take to 20%, which is being exceeded. The...
No change in my points, including pronghorn which was just a bonus point. Even in normal years it takes a week or so to update the portal, if I'm remembering correctly.
That sounds nice. I wish AZ let you apply for multiple species on the same cart, at least. Given the last couple of weeks, maybe they aren't ready for that level of sophistication.
I've loaded H4831 under Hornady GMX. And I've done a couple of test loads with win760. I'd have to go look at my records, but I think accuracy was ok and velocity was low.
