Finally adding, Traeger grilled grouper and yellowtail and bellas, Instapotted green beans sautéed in garlic butter and bacon bits. I have a 15 minute prep rule. Fat boy wants to eat , not cook

Why aren't you doing grilling? It's kinda a guy thing. Just saying.

In her defense, you have a pool, food, and friends for her to hang with. Who would want to leave that situation? Seriously, it's awesome you are looking out for her! Good luck rehoming her.

I got a hit!

He was truly one of the most genuine people I knew. heck of a best friend. Everyone is missing him deeply. Thank you to anyone who has supported his family, we all know he would have done the same and more for anyone of us.

4 days before the start of this hunt, Eddie Corona at OE4A contacted me about donating this hunt to me from a very generous person who was unable to hunt. I'm a double amputee combat vet and a diehard bowhunter. Immediately I got to planning. I knew nothing about bison and about bison hunting. Luckily I got connected with Russ and Laura Jacoby. They are bison whisperers. I can truly tell you that I would not have been successful on this hunt without them. Their logistical expertise is on par with extremely complex military deployments that I've been a part of. It's amazing to see what they do. The conditions this year were tough. There is still a ton of snow on the Kaibab. 4'-7' drifts are still present up there. Without a snowmobile or UTV with tracks, it was impossible to reach the blinds and salt. And the road leading in to the north rim is closed until June 2nd. I'm not convinced that the snow will be fully melted in time to get access with a truck. My hunt ended June 6th, so I definitely hired Russ/Laura or else I wouldn't have been able to access the hunt area. As most people know, this particular hunt means you have to sit in a blind, 14 hrs a day for an average of 14 days before you harvest a bison. You have to wait for them to come off the park. I mentally prepared myself for this. And I knew I was going to take the risk and try with my bow. It took us many hours just to reach the spike camp deep in the Kaibab using UTVs with snow tracks. It was slow going, like 9mph for 12 miles slow. After we finally arrived at the camp, Russ sent us 3 hunters out to hunt half a day while he set up the camp. Myself, Randy and Dave set out on the 90 minute ride to the hunt area. Randy and I dropped off Dave and then parked the UTV to begin our mile long walk into the blind. We hunted our way to the blind and as we approached the blind Randy spotted bison already at the water source. We quickly set down our gear. I grabbed my bow and Randy grabbed his rifle. Randy was able to take a quick couple shots and down went one of the bison. One bison ran away into the Grand Canyon park and the other waited by the bison that was laying on the ground. At that point I was able to slip in to 28yds and put an absolutely perfect arrow in the last bison. I shot another arrow and hit low in the sternum, but it wasn't necessary because the first arrow was a kill shot through both lungs. He fell and was dead in 30 seconds. We were ecstatic. We celebrated, hugged, cried and shared our viewpoints on what had happened. It was absolutely amazing! I couldn't believe I had snuck in with a bow, on the rim of the Grand Canyon and perfectly shot a bison!!! It took us long into the night to cut up the two bison and load them on to the snow machines. We used Russ's winches on the UTVs and portable winches to hoist the two bison into trees to make the work easier. Another 24 hrs later we were finally back at the main camp. After our goodbyes I drove home and got to contemplate what had just happened. I think I'm luckier than I should be. I never even stepped foot in that blind. I can't wait to try the bison meat from this harvest and sharing it with friends and family! Other than that...all I can say is that I am so blessed and thankful for OE4A for what they do.

Fixed that for you. I think I read Edge say he cross dresses.

I shot a lot of 175 SMK with N140 it worked great. Not breaking and speed records but was super accurate

Can't wait

We lost a member of our Arizona hunting community and his wife and two small children could really use your help. Please consider donating. https://www.gofundme.com/f/harkey-family

Mid 80's early 90's I hunted south part of 29 every year on the 12/15 hunt up to 10 days some years. Only ever saw WT's sniffing Doe's one year. MD down low were bunched up with Doe's. Hunted Jav's most years back then east of Lemmon and west of Piety after the first of the year and into the HAM and rifle hunts. WT Bucks were chasing by mid Jan and it was mostly done by 2/20. Cold weather, moon phases never really had any affect.

Can't go wrong with Leupold man... All most all of my rifles are sporting them now.

In the 90's. The rut was fantastic in December. For whatever reason that has changed. I had a friend who won the coues raffle tag several years and hunted all 12 months. He said the best rutting month he saw was February.

I can’t tell you who to use but I can tell you I wouldn’t use A3. Had a bad experience with them on a late December hunt and the owners could care less.

I like N140 in 308 but haven't tried with heavier bullets, Big game should be good with the 165s. Kent

I just used Magnum Mike’s for threading and a brake on two rifles, beautiful work! Barrel looks like the brake is part of it, you can’t even see the seam if you try.

Nothing fancy for us tonight but pure heaven! My wife makes an awesome chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. All smothered in white gravy!
