Lots of People have asked the question what does the Arizona Bowhunters Association do? The ABA fights for the rights of Arizona Bowhunters. We attended the Arizona Game and Fish Department Commission Meeting on April 14, 2012. This meeting was the hunt numbers recommendation meeting for deer, sheep, fall javelina, bear, mountain lion and small game. The Game and Fish was proposing to make units 3A/3C a draw for the August-September archery hunt. The board of the Arizona Bowhunters Association voted to try and lobby the Game and Fish Commission to keep the archery deer hunt in 3A/3C an over the counter permit instead of a draw. The commission ultimately decided to make 3A/3C a draw but after listening to the arguments of the ABA increased the proposed tags from 125 to 200. Please watch the video from the meeting to see what the ABA does. If you are a bowhunter in Arizona the Arizona Bowhunters Association needs you! Please get involved in some way whether it is becoming a member, volunteering time, making a donation or by coming to the ABA events. Please contact Darr Colburn if you would like to get involved darrcolburn@aol.com
