    Bear Baiting Lawsuit

    Looks like the wackos are at it again. It also looks like they picked where to file the lawsuit, lets just hope that the judge is a pro hunting one and not like the one that ruled on the grizzly hunts. The comments on the story should get interesting as they go along...

    I forgot there is also a ranch hunt for non residents that also have the big bucks. It is on the Kennecot Copper mine property, I have no idea of how much their hunts go for but here is a picture of what you can expect.

    Arizona's New Game Tags

    How do you folks like the new Arizona big game tags? I got my javelina tag in the mail the other day to find that it is no longer wallet size but close to a loose-leaf size tag with all kinds of advertising on the back of it. The upper portion with the tag can be torn off of the lower...

    OK, so I am going to be lazy and ask on here instead of doing a lot of research like I usually do. What are the regulations on bringing meat back into the US from Canada such as a moose? I'm starting to get that itch again to head somewhere and shoot me a new critter.

    Arizona Fall Draw

    Arizona's fall draw snuck up on me this year, for some reason I wasn't even thinking of it. I guess after drawing my deer tag last year I didn't worry too much about it, but. It closes on the 12th of this month so you only have another 7 days more to get your application in.
