    Confidence building in teens, what have you done?

    There is obviously some good advice here. Not to discount the issue, but I'm thinking much of it will fade away over time as she (and the people she associates with... "friends"....) mature and grow their life skills in the coming years. One thing that stands-out to me, is that you obviously have a great relationship with her. The fact that your wife & you have these types of open discussions with your daughter and that she confides in you, is HUGE in my opinion! There is no one 'right' way to raise a child, but it sounds to me like you are doing it well! Good luck to the young lady!

    How do you hang skin

    I've taken to mainly going 'gutless' on my animals lately, so mainly skin it one side at a time while on the ground (no hanging). If hanging though, it's always been "redneck style " hanging from a tree branch by the back legs. We did use the 'golf ball' method once (used a redneck rock) with a cow elk. Tied that one to a tree by the neck. Seemed to work OK. S.

    Major winter storm to hit high country

    I remember many years ago (Mid 90s, I think....), there was enough water that it spilled over and filled-up Lower Lake Mary. We went up there and had a blast catching smallish (10-16 inch) pike. Lots of fun!

    CC Hit

    My card got hit for $135, so I got either an early archery bull tag or general late rifle bull tag. Excited either way!! S.

    ADOT lazy

    Yup. Just referring to the Flagstaff area, specifically. https://azdailysun.com/news/local/flagstaff-snow-surpasses-records-forces-closures-county-and-city-declare/article_a72bf186-8159-5bd1-b91e-9e25f0a82ce6.html Either way, it is a lot of snow and I'm sure the ADOT guys are working as hard as they can.

    ADOT lazy

    My thoughts exactly. Literally the biggest snow storm in that area in over 100 years, and the armchair critics pounce. 🙄

    Major winter storm to hit high country

    Not a weather thing, but I just think its pretty darn cool that Tucson still closes schools for Rodeo Days!! Seems kinda 'old school'...... 🤠 👍

    Swarovski stud

    A bungee chord and/or duct tape will work in a pinch (No joke! I've done it!!). Good luck!

    Remember the good ol' days when Roosevelt was brimming with water??? I'm sure the bass fisherman would LOVE that!

    Elk draw website down

    Is he actually giving out unit numbers? That would be a little bit too much, IMO. Like a lot of us, I have seen shows where I recognize a landmark or something but I have never known a TV dude to actually release detailed info or unit numbers.

    How come this stuff never makes news in AZ???

    Wait, what??? Ummm..... As has been mentioned, it's been all over the local news. In fact the story in the link you posted actually quotes a local news station. 🙄

    My First Southern Border Hunt Experience

    Yup, pretty bad down there. The first time I ever met Amanda (site owner) and Heat was at a ranch trash pick-up volunteer event way back then (Remember that, Amanda and Nick? How did I get so old?? ). I think it was 2003 or 2004. Had just started hunting down that way, and figured the event would be a good way to get to know the units a little better. Plus it was a fun event for my kids. LOL That was a LONG time ago, and I'm pretty sure there are still lots of trashed areas. Been a while since I've done that, though. Seeing this post makes me want to reach back-out and get involved again.

    Super Raffle tag buck...

    I travel a lot for work. Mildly longer TSA lines at airports (mainly JFK.....). Also, I wanted to make sure my mobile number was on the national 'Do Not Call' list (remember that???). When I went to that site a week or so ago it was down with a message saying something like 'Due to the partial government shutdown....'. I see neither one of these things as more than slightly inconvenient.....

    Where's the pic of the tail. Am I missing something on the Instagram pics??

    Super Raffle tag buck...

    Based on the brief write-up, it sounds to me like the "green light" was just typical hunter-hunter (brother to brother) courtesy.
