ANNUAL BLUEGILL BONANZA AND FISH FRY

JUNE 6TH

 Terry Biagi

 Mark your calendars for June 6th because you don’t want to miss this year’s Bluegill Bonanza at Canyon Lake.  As we did last year, let’s meet between 7:00 and 8:00 AM at the Boulder Recreational area.  Driving in on Highway 88, you cross the first bridge over Canyon Lake and look for the next right turn.  This is the Boulder Recreation area where we will have one of the picnic ramadas set up with refreshments and a CR&G Club sign.  This area will also be used as the official weigh-in and fillet processing station.  There is good fishing on the large docks and the along the shoreline in this area.  This a free fishing day (no license required) so bring the whole family.  You will need a Tonto pass to park at the Boulder Recreational Area, but in case you forget, we will have some extra passes available that morning.

YOUTH TURKEY CAMP 2009

Eddy Corona

 This was the first year that the Arizona Game and Fish Department had offered over the counter turkey tags for youth.  Getting together with the following groups, Arizona Elk Society, Arizona Deer Association, The Outdoor Experience 4 All, National Wildlife Turkey Federation, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department, we were able to put on a very successful youth turkey camp by working together.

The planning started in January working with Craig McMullen from AZGFD Payson office as our point of contact and using today’s technology with numerous emails and phone calls, we all met for the first time at the AZGFD Expo to plan things out.  Through the donations for food, give away items, and man power our camp was well on its way.

THE AZ GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT NEEDS YOUR INPUT

 

 

By Johnathan O’Dell

 

Who knew two years could go so fast!  It is time again for the Hunt Guidelines process and the time for you to submit comments and ideas about how we form Hunt Recommendations for two years.

You may ask yourself, “What is the difference between Hunt Guidelines and Hunt Recommendations?” Well, Hunt Recommendations are what Wildlife Managers create every year that include types of hunts, permit numbers and levels, and when the seasons are for each in their Unit.  They pass these along through their Regions to be compiled for the Regional Recommendation, which is then passed along to Game Branch for compiling for the Statewide Recommendation.  This is what is presented to the Commission every year for the hunts to be authorized.  Sometimes, this can be quite a process when the Commission has given us further direction (e.g. providing juniors with at least 3% of the General Season Deer tags) because we have to make sure the whole state is balanced while still meeting the Commission’s direction.
