Outstanding!!!!! Congrats to your son!! Thanks for sharing... S.

That cholla can be NASTY!! The deer in 36A love to eat the stuff though! I've seen plenty of deer down there with cholla on & around their nose/mouth. I would have to be VERY hungry to eat a cholla!!! OUCH!! S.

Thanks for lightening it up a bit around here!!!! S.

So I recently moved, and Cox Cable does not service my new area. Due to that, I was 'forced' to finally make the switch to satelite. I went with Direct TV, and as a result have been watching plenty of the Outdoor Channel, The Sportsman Channel, etc.. As with most sports channels (Versus for instance, which I no longer get...) there are some pretty decent programs, and some VERY lame ones!! One guy who captured my attention is Jim Burnworth (Western Extreme & Adventures Abroad). Seems like a pretty cool guy with a good head on his shoulders. Seems like a guy I would like to hunt with. My least favorite shows are the ones where it's basically an infomercial for hunting property & land leases! There was also a show shot in Canada, where they dubbed the voices over the actual hunting footage. Not like a narration, but they actually were trying to mimick the voices in the field, etc. VERY funny, but not entertaining at all!! Anyone have any MOST and LEAST favorite hunting shows/hosts??? Just killing time until turkey season.... S.

I've added a bit sugar to my recipe (which is similar to yours...) in the past, and it adds a nice flavor! Never tried cinnamon though.... Might have to do that! Interesting that you use Green Chiles, as opposed to the standard jalepenos that most use! I've not done that before. I have a hard time finding green chiles that are hot enough for me. Even when they are labeled as 'hot', they never quite give me the kick that I'm looking for (like jalepenos do). I'm constantly looking for HOT ones for cooking with pork/beef (Green Chile), but often get frustrated with the supply. Can't wait until September!!! I'll be looking for some nice HOT Hatch chiles! Also, whether using Anaheims or Jalepenos, I agree that the MUST be roasted!!!! Roasted chiles/peppers are MUCH better IMO!! S.

Cool!!!!!! Great shot and a great video!!!! My, how things have changed! Isn't the 'digital age' awesome?!?! Great to be able to capture moments like these on 'film' to keep forever!! S.

Hmm..... Maybe I should have shopped a bit more! I used to get VS with Cox, but Direct does not offer VS so I'm now without it. Suppose my lazy fanny doesn't necessarily need another channel/reason to veg on the sofa anyway! When I moved into my current place (an apartment...), I was told that Qwest was the internet/phone provider that had already been 'cabled' in to the complex. I went with that for my high-speed internet, and they are/were in bed with Direct TV so I went with that. Again, maybe I should have shopped Dish. Too late now though, as I'm obviosly locked in to my contract at this point. On a serious note, I'll definitely be watching my Direct bills closely! How could your bill suddenly go to $400? PPV? I would only assume my monthly bill would go up if I purchased PPV stuff?? S.

Yes, 608 blows!!! Lots of 'paid programming' there.... Interesting with the different views on Burnworth. I've seen his show, and his buddy's Africa show, and I tend to like them.... All a matter of taste I suppose. Also, I wasn't aware that he hunts high fences. I guess that I don't really hold that against anyone, as long as they admit it, are not ashamed, and don't try to pawn those 'trophies' off as fair chase. I agree that Pigman is also a good show. Arrow Affliction also is pretty decent IMO. S.

Thanks for posting!!! LOVE IT! Great memories.... I grew-up in Kearny, and my buds & I used to hit the upper Salt in spring time a few times earch year. Hooking into one of those big ol' flatheads is good fun!!!! S.

I saw the show this past weekend. Pretty good! Didn't see Allen there though, Lark.... S.

I get completely sick of the slanted press on each side of the political isle. Looks like the Canda Free Press could have done a bit of simple research and figure-out that it wasn't so much of an "unprecedented number of staffers....". Definitely hard to wade through all of the BS. As for how much she pays for her lunch snack, I really don't care.... S.

Nice pic! First big game bow kill?? She's learning from some experts then!! Good luck to her in the future!! Nice pics everybody!! S.

Outstanding!!!!! VERY cool!!!! Congrats on a GREAT hunt, and thanks for posting a great story!! S.

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/201...eather0115.html Keep your fingers crossed bird hunters! Anyone who has been around AZ Gambels much knows that the numbers from year to year ABSOLUTELY depend on winter/spring rain! I was chasing birds in some of my favorite haunts over the holidays, and there were some nice little green shoots (sp) starting to show.... It doesn't take too many big storms to get those seeds going!!! Pray for 2-3 nice wet systems over the next few months folks, and we'll be chasing "75-150 bird" coveys next fall/winter!! It would be nice to see a double hatch this year!!! S.

Amazing!!!! I'm out of the country working right now, and I am VERY home sick!!!!! Nothing like an Arizona winter storm!!! Gotta love the internet!! Thanks for the pics Scott! S.

Bingo Scotty!!!!! Let's pray for more through the spring (all be it, maybe not ALL at once... )!!!! Ruby and I had to work a bit for these three over the Christmas break. Based on how excited to get these she was though, she'll likely have reason to go bonkers next fall/winter!!! No matter what happens in the spring, this week's storm will absolutely help! How about some early prayers to the 'Monsoon Gods' for the Mearns now!! S.

Congrats on the buck Allen!!! (Also congrats on figuring-out how to post pictures!!) S.

You could be right on the anti's thing..... Might make a small difference, but again, I think the statistics show otherwise.... S.

I forget the exact numbers, but I seem to recall that the year after the pulled the plug on the on-line apps a few years ago, the number of applications did NOT take a significant dive. The vast majority of hunters are going to put in for a tag, whether it's on-line or not. Seriously, how many hunters to YOU know who would not put in, simply because it's not on-line?? Doesn't make much of a difference on draw odds..... S.

Good luck to your dad Casey!!! It's amazing what they can do with hips/knees these days!!!!! S.

Best to you Doug!!!! S.

BTW: For those who have not used a javelina call, you might want to try it!!! When hunting with my youngest son a couple of months ago, we got into a herd of pigs. While my son was blasting away with the .308, there were a couple of 'piggie babys' crying/squealing away under a polo verde. The pigs in this herd were ABSOLUTELY drawn to the crys of the baby pigs! Even with the .308 hammering away, several of the adult pigs just didn't go far!! The sound that the little fellas were making sounded JUST like one of these calls!! S.

Elkhunter would know!!! He's a pig freak!!!! S.

What do I think Amanda????????? Grab your bow!! S.

Outstanding!!!! Congrats to the boy on a great buck!!! Thanks for sharing. S.
