The "Spring 2003 Hunting Regulation Supplement" is now available at all license dealers in the state, at www.azgfd.com, and at all seven Arizona Game and Fish Department regional offices - and you can start applying now!

The deadline to submit hunt applications for spring turkey, javelina, buffalo, and bear is Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. Remember, postmarks don't count.

Now you can get your hunting and fishing licenses online - and apply for spring hunts - anytime day or night at www.azgfd.com.

"One of the most common mistakes applicants have made for past spring hunts is not getting the next year's license. A way to avoid making such errors is to apply online - the computer fields won?t let you make simple errors," said Public Information Officer Rory Aikens.

South Dakota Muley
This is by far the best deer I have shot! It is a clear 8 x 5, but there are actually 3 points on the left side that you can hang a ring off of (for boone and crockett scoring). So for B & C scoring it would be a 8 x 8. My taxidermist measured it and said it scored 205 with about 14 points in deductions (two sticker tines and one unmatched split tine on the back left fork). I have hunted the same area in NW South Dakota for over a dozen years. It is public land and has always been productive.
