I took my Javelina ham and decided to smoke it in my Big Green Egg. I mixed several seasonings; salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, onion flakes, paprika, chili powder, thyme, turmeric, cumin, and my secret ingredient smoked Serrano pepper powder. I smoked it at 250° for 3.5 hours to an internal temp of 170° with Apple wood chips.

See, people can meet and buy items from each other for reasonable prices. Right Matt? I am no "wolf" (Lobo) trying to make money off others in need....

Nice to meet you as well! Have a happy new year!

Went out to Cowtown this morning with a couple buddies. It was a blast. This should be fun too. Can't wait.

The G7 BR2 or G7 BR2500 are both discontinued. Supposed to be a new version coming out. But they are still great LRFs. Finding one used is not easy. People hold on to them for a reason.

If you have to ask.....

That’s why I was hoping to find one used

To what end were this changes made? They still don't know my hunting license number, even though it's required and listed on all my applications. Poor programers IMO.

I’m headed back, not even COVID can keep me away this year! But this time is different, I’m driving and this will be my longest solo haul ever, 25 hours! My new Ranger should be up to the task as it already survived an elk hunt in CO. Sleeping in a tent rather than the back of an SUV will be nice too. Plan to leave early Saturday Jan 2 arriving Sunday night in time to pick up a Rid A Rat thing and a deer license at Wally World (already have a Javi tag). I have 2 weeks and hoping starting a week earlier will be better. My wife, 2 dogs and I were planning to rent a house and spend the entire winter there but that didn’t work out this year, but next year for sure. I’m just excited to get out of the house and hang out in the desert again. Hunting back here in WI and MN has been excruciatingly slow. What rut we had was way early and short. I’ve been trying to kill a doe for the last 4 weeks (5 days with a muzzleloader, rest bow) and I’m embarrassed to say my freezer is still empty. Might not have to be so picky and just take the first legal deer that wanders by. There’s no problem bringing meat home so there’s no excuses!

Non res tag + license = about $500 right? Tags ain’t going nowhere boyos

I remember driving into Safford, before the first circle K was the “copper, cotton, and cattle” sign.

Seemed to work for the people who felt they were seeing too many trail cameras.

I'd like to come have fun with you guys! I'm getting a little old and unsteady for PRS type stuff so this would be a lot of fun to me. I have some bigger steel I could bring too. One of my shootin buddies would probably tag along as well. Have all my long range gear already but I might take a few pops out of your rifles and you are welcome to do the same with mine. Please message me for details. Thanks Lobo for doing this. Steve

Still available?

So my oldest son wanted to go deer hunting with me today. It has taken a little getting used to with him being his own person, school, work, and doing his own thing. So when he asked to go, I made sure it was gonna happen. well deer hunting was a little slow, so we made it home around 2:00 pm. Gage then told me he wanted to go somewhere we could do some calling and glass for deer. We loaded the truck again, and off for the last part of our day. We made it to an area we hadn’t looked at for deer yet. made our first stand and blanked. Stand number 2, and at about the 12 minute mark, the 12 gauge barked. I looked to my left to see the dust clear and coyote number one was on the ground. stand number 3, at about the 12 second mark, and again the scatter gun made its point! Dog number 2 was in the bag! Great time with a great young man! Thanks buddy! Oh and this was Gages first two coyotes with the shotgun!

So the banning of predator contests was to protect and preserve wildlife or because of popular opinion or should I say just opinion it wasn't even that popular.

TF do I care a about a camera ban. I got vortex binos bruh.

I am upset and I’ve never even seen an animal in real life that I’ve had on cam. They’re just fun.

What i can't wrap my head around, is why sportsmen would support taking away something from other sportsmen, just because they "don't like it". Level the playing field? Get out of here. Whats next, being upset because someone has 3 friends hunting with them when you have only 1 or 2? It being "unfair" because some one has swarovskis and you have Vortex? (That warranty though). Life isn't fair. Life isn't equal. Deal with it. But to go after a tool someone utilizes, but you don't.... Sounds a lot like socialism in the hunting community to me. I support all legal methods of hunting, even if I don't participate. I dont hunt with a muzzeloader, but im not trying to get the 500+ yard muzzeloaders banned. Very childish and immature behavior.

This is all about cams though. Paying to learn a better skill set is just that, learning. Running cams requires no skill set when placed on every water source. And again, not for or against them but there is a huge difference between glassing and setting a bunch of cams. One is hunting, one is not.

Kinda reminds me of Bill Warmen "NEVER DOUBT ME"
