You eastern boys do have purdy cheeks! Ruddy-you need to read carefully the post from PLB in the "ruling in AZ is bad" thread. The animals never did belong to the nation, they were bought by locals, non-res hunter have equal chances of getting drawn to me, we have paid for the expansion of elk to the east and you guys still keep yelling about your rights. If you are a real hunter and not an outfitter or rich boy who buys his trophies then you should be working against the USO position. After they sell/kill the very finest bulls in each unit here and get paid big premiums for it they will move on to the next state. After we are down to a bunch of cows and bachelors will you want to hunt here so bad? I think we need to keep one of the best and least selfish and non-political game management systems in the country as it is so you will have a chance at that 400 bull.
