LOL!

You are right TJ!! Luckily the tent has an overhanging to keep rain out of the door and we positioned the tent so the door was away from the wind Anyone know someone that works on tent zippers?

I love the one with the reflection in the water...beautiful!

hehehe, are you kidding me? It's been like that for years and years. Guess you just don't cuss as much as you thought you did if it took you this long to notice. LOL!

Hey Rick, I sent you an email with advertising details. thanks for your interest

How did this one go Steve? got any pics or info to share with us?

Thanks! I also added in some banners that promote some of the nonprofits like the AZ Deer Assoc, Outdoor Experience 4 All, and the Great American Deer Raffle. The banners rotate every 8 seconds. I will probably be adding banners for some of the other conservation groups too. And of course some of our sponsors might take advantage of the new real estate.

Details? How far was the shot, what broadhead did you use, did you have to do more than one shot? How long did you wait after the shot?

Well, you need to get your gun's gender issues figured out....you say it's a her but then you say it's a bad-boy, so you are confusing things already!

Wow, I hope he made it. You could always go back in the area and look for a carcass pile. The mother elk might have fought the lion off if he did catch up to them and try to eat the calf. Oopsss.... I just saw that it was a year ago, so I guess finding the carcass pile is out.

Nice looking bear! Was it spot and stalk or did you sit a blind?

thanks for all the great info Tony, Bill and Jim!

Awesome!! Great write-up and some great fish!

Ok, so far for a CW.com table we have: 1. Amanda 2. Paul 3. Peg 4. TJ 5. Eric 6. Kathi 7. Mark 8. Hector Need two more to fill out the table and if we can get two tables full that would be even better!! This is a great organization and a very fun banquet! Some come on guys, step up and let's help OE4A raise some money to help kids in AZ!

That's a good one too Jimmer!

Always gratifying to find a brown shed

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!! I love seeing other peoples adventures!

The new dog is fine. That's her in the pics there (the white one). She is having a ball being a camping/hiking dog. I am glad neither of the dogs was loose when we saw the turkeys or the little chicks would have been history. One of the our other dogs once caught a larger turkey poult but we got to her in time to get her to drop it before it was injured. Amanda

I was out doing some owl surveys the other day and saw a hen with some very young poults. I tried to get some pics of the poults, but no luck. Then we drove another 50 yards down the road and saw another hen with even smaller chicks. This time I was able to get close for some nice pics. Is this really what grows up into a strutting tom that makes so many of us nuts in the spring?? I saw the chick go behind this log and never come out, so I went around it and found this: and on the way back to the truck I had to make sure I didn't step on any....they held perfectly still the whole time I was around. The hen of course was pacing back and forth telling the chicks to stay down and trying to get me to leave the area. We did a lot of hiking on this trip and the dogs were fully exhausted! Sunshine is getting stronger all the time and although she can't keep up with Julie, she sure tries! And some flower pics:

So I was out hiking in a drainage the other day with my husband and two dogs when I looked across and saw a bear on the other side. It was looking right at us and only maybe 70 yards across from us. Although it appeared to be looking at us, it didn't run. After getting the dogs on the leash, I waved my arms and called out to the bear to make sure he noticed us. He still didn't move away. Finally I noticed that when he tried to turn to leave he couldn't put any weight on his front left leg. And then I realized he also couldn't put any weight on his back right leg. So he was unable to move more than like 6 inches. It was obvious that he would like to leave but he just couldn't. I put up my binos and looked for injuries but couldn't see any blood or cuts or bones sticking out or anything. So I have no idea what happened to the bear. He appeared in good condition and my feeling was that the injury was very recent since he hadn't adapted to it yet. Did he get in a fight with another bear? Did he fall out of a tree? Did he get caught in a leghold trap? Did he flip a boulder looking for food and it fell on him? I really don't know. You guys have any ideas? It was getting dark so the only pics I got were blurry...

LOL!!! I did fall for that one!! I am such a sucker! Why didn't I think of that!

Cool!! Reminds me of a spot I have a cam where it gets all kinds of cool bird pics.

What's up with that??? I think those gunsafes look good with stickers on them!
