| OK, guys - I was born and raised in NB, but have been in Arizona for 6 yrs. Finally got back to hunting. Put in for my first draw this year - all new critters! Elk, sheep, antelope, and mule deer! Woo hooo. Draw odds are sad, but I'm excited anyway. |

| Yeah, I sure wish we had all those choices up here. I read about all the turkey hunts/ elk hunts/ etc. that are available down there. You are lucky. Do any bass fishing? |

| Gonna start bass fishing too! Landed in AZ - new job, new wife, new baby - I got sidetracked for awhile. Of course, I fished smallies in NB, but largemouths will be new to me. LOTS of good bass fishing here. I work with Arizona Outdoorsman magazine, so am making full use of all my new connections :wink: |

| I've fished smallies and stripers in NS but the thought of big mouth bass fishing is awesome. Pike is high on my list for new fish to catch as well. |

| They have all kinds of fish here. I have also heard that AZ has more boats, per capita, than any other state - go figure. Most of the lakes are man-made, and they have lots of different species stocked, or naturalized - including arctic char, pike, stripers, walleyes, largemouth and smallmouth, trout, crappie, catfish..on and on and on... |

That would be great. I can drool over what I would be doing if I lived there. I have friends who winter in Arizona and have invited me to stay there. After seeing the mag. I will probably take them up on it for sure! Check your private messages for my address.

| Well - went 0 for 4 on my first AZ draw. Not the way I had hoped for it to turn out, but oh well. You guys wouldn't believe the hype here - hunters acting like kids, waiting for the draw lol. Admittedly, I've been pretty excited too. Kinda like having the results for 4 separate moose draws announced, at the same time. |
