BY JOHN (JK) KOLESZAR [email protected]

While the sportsmen and women of Arizona have been patiently waiting for draw results, certain organizations have been using their political clout to remove another massive chunk of real estate from the hunting communities’ places to recre- ate. The following has been in process for a couple of years now, and it appears to be the proverbial train coming down the tracks with not much hope in sight.
