Thanks, guys!!! Yes, Nick, that explanation on the single burner vs. both makes sense, now that I think about it. Those suckers really crank-out the heat, so I'm thinking a single burner is generally good most of the time anyway. Will be putting it to the test on an elk hunt in a couple of weeks! S.

Wow, that's crazy! Hope you find the hunter. As a side note, what is the 'normal/standard' course of action in these cases (in addition to putting the word out on social media like this.....)? Call G&F? Gut the thing, then call G&F? Good luck!! S.

Good discussion & info here!! Quick question for those running BIG Buddy off a large tank, please. Maybe a stupid question, but the Big Buddy uses two propane bottles that screw-in separately. If I buy a hose (with filter/regulator) to run the Big Buddy off the large propane tank, will both sides of the Big Buddy run with the single hose connection? Thanks! S.

Very awesome!!!! Nothing the world, like hunting with your kids!

We had this in my house as I was growing-up as a kid in the 70s. Spent endless hours browsing and studying the pics (admittedly, rarely reading....). My favorites were The Soldiers and The Cowboys. Good luck selling! S.

I'm really not that familiar with turkey habits, etc.... Question: Do turkey populations vary significantly from year to year based on weather, etc. (Like Gambels quail are SO dependent on the prior Winter/Spring rain....)? Thanks! S.

I grew-up in Kearny, and have the same memories. Oh BTW, by "factory", you mean the 4 or 5 women in the back room cranking-out tortillas by hand all morning long??? 🤣 Big +1 on the fresh tortillas!!! Used to LOVE stopping by there and buying them super fresh!!! Nothing like fresh, warm tortillas. No butter needed! The good ol' days....

Was their two Los Hermanos restaurants in Superior??? The one I'm familiar with have been open for many many years, and is still open, alive & well. Big place with a bar, right next to the little rest area they built towards the east end of town. LOVE stopping in there for fresh tortillas! S.

Outstanding, Dan!!!! Very cool! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Love it, Lance!!! Best of times!!! Like you, I've been on many hunts with my kids over the years. Heading down south this afternoon for an early coues hunt with my soon to be 25 year old. No matter what age, hunting with your "children" NEVER gets old! S.

Absolutely epic indeed, Sean!!!! The VERY best of times!!! 🙏🏼😌 Thanks for sharing with the site!! S.

Our experience was similar to your's, kfallsrob. We hit some of our standard 'go-to' areas, with spotty results. Came across a few very large coveys (like 100+ birds), which we always love to see on opening weekend, but then other spots had sparse 10-15 bird coveys. Overall, it was pretty decent though. Now I'm gonna focus on deer and elk over the next few weeks. Will be interesting to see how the bird hunting shapes-up for the Dec-Jan cooler weather months. S.

I started my 'glassing career' with a decent set of Pentax 10x42's on a cheap Slik tripod. In my early experience, basically ANY binoculars are way better on a tripod! Tripod usage will open-up a whole new world for you! Doug at Cameraland is the man!!! Good luck! S.

Ya baby!!!! I'll be out this weekend in my old haunts, for sure!!! LOVE chasing Gambel's!!!! S.

Maybe my favorite Jr. Hunt post of the season, so far!!!! Just love the fact that you all got out there, and love the fact that once again the amazing volunteers at the Jr. Hunt Camp were willing to lend their expertise and experience to you! Just SO cool that he was able to get his first deer! NOTHING beats mentoring and hunting with kids! S

Not many people have the opportunity to work in Kearny. SMALL town! lol I spent the first 18 years of my life there. Born & raised..... Loved it!

Happy birthday, Amanda!!!! You're the best!! S.

LOVE IT!!! So awesome! Absolutely my FAVORITE hunting memories over the years have been on the Kiabab Jr. hunt! Glad for you both! S.

I only know one off the top of my head; Sonora, AZ was where the current Ray Mine sits. My parents and older brother & sisters lived in Sonora when my dad was a young mining engineer. In the mid-60s, the town of Kearny was built to house all of the miners so the mine could be expanded (effectively swallowing-up the town of Sonora....). Cool thread! I LOVE old AZ history!!

And another one!!! EXCELLENT!!! Just LOVE all of the youth success posts we are seeing around here these days! Nothing better! S.

YES!!!!! Love it!!!!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE the Jr. hunts!!

Excellent!!! Glad you guys had a great time!!

Outstanding!!! Nothing beats hunting with your kids!!!
