The force was strong in that one! Seen elk act about that tough before, but even then it was mainly due to a slightly less than lethal shot. Glad you got him! Funny regarding the zombie quail! Was running n gunning Gambels one year, hopping from one covey to the next all day long up & down washes (back when the quail were thick every year..... 🙄). About mid-way through the day, I happen to glance into my rear view mirror and there is a quail perched on the backrest of the rear seat in my Blazer. He had apparently crawled out of the game vest and just hopped-up on the back of the seat and was enjoying the ride! S.

Had a mini bike growing-up and spent MANY amazing hours tinkering with it and riding! Good luck on your quest. Maybe check craigslist? https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/mcy/d/like-new-monster-moto-80-mini/6753767083.html

Welcome to the site!! I would start here: https://www.azgfd.com/hunting/units/mesa/24b/ A lot of guys are going to be shy about releasing info (Like, ANY info......) in public and/or to a 'newbie' to the site. I don't know the unit, but my suggestion would be to start with the G&F link, then go do a little scouting. Come back and post some info about what you found or didn't find, and I imagine you might make a contact or two on here who would be willing to share. Good luck!! S.

Awesome!!!!!

Oh, HECK YEA!!!!! VERY awesome! Hunting with your kids is simply the best!! Thanks for sharing with the site. S.

Sincere thanks to ALL veterans! I am grateful for your service! 🙏

Outstanding!!!!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

I wouldn't give up on the Stihl. Definitely great chainsaws! Possibly you just got a couple of duds, because I've owned two (plus a Poulan). Each of the Stihl's was great! The Poulan always started OK, but tended not to have as much 'cranking/high-end' power. Quick Google search yields positive reviews for Husqvarna. Good advice on the pre-mixed fuel. Good luck!!!!

Looks delicious! I also butcher, wrap, and process all of my own game. I'm curious as to your aging technique? I have never really aged any of my game meat (other than happenstance when/if hanging for a couple of days or so prior to cutting it..... more of a 'timing' thing as opposed to aging....). Share your ideas on your aging? Thanks! S.

Outstanding!!!!!!! Love it when the kids get out there! Thanks for sharing with the site. S.

Umm..... So don't buy it. Haters gonna hate, I suppose.... 🙄

Good luck on your first hunt! Also good to recognize the unspoken rule! lol Some folks get a little worked-up when a newbie asks for advice on spots for their very first post! Check this out, if you haven't already: https://www.azgfd.com/hunting/units/mesa/24a/ Enjoy yourself and learn the area! You might not get one this year, but as you spend more time in the unit you'll surely find yourself a honey hole or two! S.

Awesome! NOTHING beats hunting with your children, IMO! You are blessed!! 😌🙏🏼

Ummmm....... "Consolation Buck"? Heck yea!!!!! 😀👍🏻

Looks kind of like a Just One. Very good deal for someone on that thing! Good luck selling!

Good lord, those are cute!!!! 😍 Wish I was in a position to take one. Good luck!!!

Way to go, Tyler!!!! Family, family, family!!! You are blessed!

Nice job, Keven!!!

Happy birthday, my friend! ✌️💛

YES!!!!! So very glad for Hunter! You guys got every bit of your money's worth out of that hunt, which is awesome! Really glad it worked out and that you got to experience all that the Kiabab has to offer. Love it up there! BTW, those are great pics. I especially love the family pic. No greater joy than spending time in the outdoors with those we love! S.

Yes!!!! VERY excited for some January archery hunting! We are SO fortunate here in AZ! Also, my two college age kids (son & daughter) were lucky enough to get late Dec rifle tags. Can't wait for them to come home for Christmas break from school, so we can spend some time looking for some nice coues bucks for them! S.
