My buddy shot this boar opening evening at about 150 yards, the prickly pear was unbelievable this year

Dude do you ever contribute anything other than ideas for new crap to ban? How about posting up a pic of a deer you killed or a fish you caught or a kid you helped or a favorite hunting camp. Drones are lame but so is your constant bitching.

We do this for every trip. Anytime I smoke pork butts, I do 4-6 butts to make it worth the time investment and vacum seal the final product, about 2 pounds per bag and freeze. Works great as an ice pack in the cooler and you just throw the bag in a pot of boiling water to heat. No pot to clean and pretty dang close to as good as when you freshly cooked it. Just throw on some buns with BBQ sauce. Easily the most popular meal in camp.

Well I haven't been able to get away from work to do any hunting this season yet but I did finally get the buck that I killed last year back from the taxidermist.So now Alfred has his good buddy Tiny Tim to "hangout" with.

RIP sir. He helped shovel the mud out of my grandparents home in east mesa during the 1983 El Nino. his character will always overshadow most pols. taps. lee Early years and education[edit] Family heritage[edit] McCain's grandfather "Slew" (left) and father "Jack" on board a U.S. Navy ship in Tokyo Bay, c. September 2, 1945 John Sidney McCain III was born on August 29, 1936,[1] at a United States Navy hospital[2][3][4] at Coco Solo Naval Air Station[5][6] in the Panama Canal Zone, which at that time was considered to be among the unincorporated territories of the United States.[7] His parents were Navy officer John S. "Jack" McCain, Jr. (1911–1981) and Roberta (Wright) McCain (born 1912). McCain is of Scots-Irish and English ancestry.[8] John McCain's grandparents were natives of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas, and much of his ancestry was Southern on both his mother's side and father's side.[8] The McCain family's patrilineal ancestral home is in Mississippi's Carroll County;[9][10] they owned and ran a 2,000-acre (8.1 km2) plantation in Teoc from 1848 until 1952.[9][11] The plantation had slaves before the American Civil War – some of whose descendants share the surname and call themselves the "black McCains"[12] – and sharecroppers afterward; influential blues guitarist Mississippi John Hurt was born on the plantation to one of the latter.[9] The McCain family tree has a long heritage of American military service, with ancestors fighting as soldiers in the Indian Wars,[5] American Revolutionary War[13] (due to which McCain maintains a membership with the Sons of the American Revolution),[14] War of 1812,[15] for the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War,[9] and in World War I.[5] The tree also includes roguish behavior and economic success. John McCain's maternal grandfather, Archibald Wright (1875–1971),[16] was a Mississippi native who migrated to Muskogee, Oklahoma, in his twenties, ran afoul of the law with several gambling and bootlegging charges,[16] then became a strong-willed wildcatter who prospered on land deals during the early statehood years and struck oil in the Southwest.[16][17] Rich by age forty, he never worked again and became a stay-at-home father.[5][17] Raising a family in Oklahomaand Southern California, he instilled in Roberta and her twin sister Rowena a lifelong habit of travel and adventure.[18] There is also independent-minded behavior in the family tree: Jack McCain and Roberta Wright eloped and married in a bar in Tijuana, Mexico, when Archibald Wright's wife Myrtle objected to Roberta's association with a sailor.[19] McCain's father and paternal grandfather eventually became Navy admirals, and were the first father–son pair to achieve four-star admiral rank.[20] His grandfather, Admiral John S. "Slew" McCain, Sr. (1884–1945), was a pioneer of aircraft carrier operations[5] who in 1942 commanded all land-based air operations in support of the Guadalcanal Campaign, and who ultimately in 1944–1945 aggressively led the Fast Carrier Task Force in the Pacific Ocean theater of World War II. His operations off the Philippines and Okinawa, and air strikes against Formosa and the Japanese home islands, caused tremendous destruction of Japanese naval and air forces in the closing period of the war.[21] His death four days after the Japanese surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay was front page news.[5] Jack McCain was a submarine commander in several theaters of operation in World War II and was decorated with both the Silver Star Medal and Bronze Star Medal.[21]

Great a,American right there..

My deepest condolences to his family as they go through this.

I know words can hurt as well as help, I wish his family my deepest condolences for what they are going through.

Real Classy remark.......he was a good man and even if i did not agree with all his principles and policy I still admired him for his courage and all the good things he had done for this country. I use to consider myself a republican, still vote that way but I am tired of all the name calling and petty behavior, nothing gets done. Now I just hear both sides blame each other and point fingers.

Yes absolutely. The way you put it in context. Maybe a simple Rest In Peace or something along those lines... I know your political views and why this was driven but c'mon set them aside and honor the man. Fought for our country and just battled the worst thing known to man kind! CANCER!

All of your post topics start off negative.

I live in Flagstaff, too, and love 6B. I'm heading out of town tomorrow for my wife's monther's funeral, but holler at me and I'll point you in some whitetail spots for 6B.

Not a Coues, but my favorite dead head

the deer dont just stand by the cam. just because someone gets a pic doesnt mean its an easy kill. mostly people put cams where they already knew the hunting was reasonably good anyway

Just loaded 8 more increasing the charge. Ill give it a try next week

Maybe you just need some animal crackers to feel better.

If its legal and you don't like it press on, how can something on a tree ruin your entire day..? maybe because you let it? That's what's wrong with a lot of things these days its only a issue because you make it. I quit worrying about stuff along time ago, always have a plan A/B/C ect... There isn't any secret spots and its everyone's woods. Just go out and have a good time If you area isn't what you like adapt and over come, A day in the woods is better than a day at work if you cant realize that maybe you need a new hobby?

My dad was anti scope.......if you couldn't see it with your bare eye and use open sites you had no business shooting.......

Things change! When I was a kid, you started off with a BB gun, then a .22 if you showed that you could safely handle the BB gun, then a center fire rifle. Now days I see guys with their kids barley out of square pants shooting their 300 RUMS. I've never listened to a podcast, nor have I hung a camera in the woods, but it doesn't bother me if someone else does. By the way there was some old timers when I was a kid, who didn't think that using a scope on a rifle was sporting.

130....I've kinda started wondering if there is anything about hunting you do enjoy........take a deep breath.....you obivously have issues with.......stuff..... go out and enjoy the hunt because you are prepared for all the crap that can happen out there!!! Control what you can and enjoy!!!! We all get pissed about something.....how about sharing a fun hunting story with us!!!

What doesnt Adam complain about? Hes like having a second wife.... They both complain a lot, and neither one puts out!

Temps in that area are quite a bit lower than Phoenix or even Tucson and since it is an early hunt the deer should be fairly active. I wouldn't overlook open sunny areas.

Boom it's as simple as that. They are called the grey ghost because as EVERYONE who has hunted them will tell you- they disappear. How many of us have glassed a hillside for HOURS and been 100% certain there are no deer only to see a whole herd pop out between 4-5pm. You've been there-

A Coues Whitetail is a smaller sub-species of the common Eastern Whitetail
