Thank you Justin for sharing Dillon's hunt. Dillon, I want to congratulate you on entering a group of hunters that call themselves bowhunters. I know friends twice, three, and four times your age who haven't accomplished what you just did. I'm so proud of you on your accomplishment young man. It helps to have a Dad like yours and a great friend like Tracey to mentor you but it was you and only you who kept the nerves together to pull that bow and make the perfect shot. WOW! I got cold chills reading your story and how you stuck in there after some other hunters showed up. Good things come to those who deserve it. I can't wait to shake your hand and personally congratulate you Dillon. TJ

Great story and congratulations on a very nice bear. You must be in pretty good shape to have gotten her out by yourself. That's some hard work I know. Thanks for sharing with us. What a beauty. TJ

Congratulations on a nice buck and thanks for sharing. TJ

Congratulations Jeff on your bear. Calling can be real exciting. Thanks for sharing and glad to see your new rifle didn't let you down. TJ

Sounds as if your work paid off. Congratulations to you and your buddies as well. It's always nice to have help when the packing begins. Great writeup and a fine looking bear. TJ

Congratulations Chimichanga and the rest of your hunty buddies for their help. That's a dandy of a bear. Great pictures of ya'all and thanks for sharing. TJ

Congratulations to your daugther on shooting her first. Great picture and writeup. I could feel the excitement you must have been feeling as I read your story. Awesome! TJ

did you do the baseline test today? run 400 meters , 40 air squats, 30 situps,20 pushups, 10 pull ups all for time? Today our wod( workout of the day) was extreme 5 rounds for time; deadlift 225lbs 12 reps 20 pull ups clean and jerk 135lbs 12 reps knees to elbows 20 reps (while hanging from pull up bar) That is 100 pull ups, 60 deadlifts,60 clean and jerks,100 knees to elbows. all for time.ouch that was the rx weight, all movements and weights can be scaled if needed. My arms have been sore all day , not all of the wods are this difficult. stick with crossfit , after the first week the soreness wont be bad, the results are amazing That's nothing this 61 yr old could even think about but back in my day I would smoke that. For all of you that are working out and getting ready for the upcoming seasons I take my hat off to each of you. Keep up the good work. TJ

I think them are some good pictures for being a cell phone. That is a dandy bear for sure. They can cover alot of territory in a short period when they have made up their mind and you most likely will never catch up to them once they are on the move. Believe me on this one but be there the next day before daylight and you might pull it off. TJ

Congratulations on a very nice buck. I really like the thicknes/mass. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Did you try the camp ground just inside the houston Mesa rd yet? What tag do you have? TJ

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on a nice buck. I'm still hoping I draw an archery tag some year. TJ

I'm sure we will see you here with another trophy to share with us. You have gotten it down. I have yet to get a buck on any of my trail cams this year. I'm jealouse as all get out. Good luck and can't wait to see your success story. TJ

What an awesome antelope you shot. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. TJ

Congratulations young man. That is one heck of an accomplishment for sure. Thanks for sharing your story. TJ

For those of you who think you can have your apple (or cob) and eat it too, you have another thing coming. Units 22 and 23 have already lost their December archery seasons in response to increased whitetail harvests. How much opportunity are you willing to sacrifice in order to maintain your use of bait? How big a fan of baiting would you be if you had to put in the draw for an archery deer tag and were limited to a single 14 day season? Think about it before you decide on this issue. If you decide you still want to defend the use bait, remember what you are likely giving up. Will it be worth it? Welcome to the site and thanks for taking the time to explain this baiting issue from a retired azgfd wildlife manager's view. I also respect your opinion and know you are an educated person with lots of knowledge on the baiting issue but I have to disagree with some of your thoughts as well. Sounds to me like you are trying to change a few of our minds by telling us we are going to give up way to much if we continue to fight the baiting issue. I have been baiting for quite a few years and have only shot 1 deer over bait so if it were to go away I would still be successful as I usually am but I'm here to stand up to fight them taking it away from us and won't let your opinion of us likely giving up and sacrificing what we have now. You are only assuming what will happen and you may be right but I'm standing my ground and will fight with those who don't want to see another law taking another method of hunting away that has been around forever. You say this is a stand-alone issue and trust you on this. I say it's just another win for the anti's if it happens and it's on to the next taking away of something else. I do respect your opinion Tonto Rim and thank you again for sharing with us and this is my opinion. TJ

Congratulations on both your bears and thanks for a good story as well. You made it sound pretty easy but I know it wasn't. TJ

Great looking bucks for sure James. I'm jealouse as all get out. I've yet to get one buck on any of my trail cams this year. Good luck this friday. TJ

Good luck to the both of you Allen. Have a safe trip and take lots of pictures. TJ

Good job Jake on putting that together. Them were some nice bucks and getting the lion had to have been a very special moment. Keep'em coming! TJ

No pictures??? TJ

Congratulations on your first lion. I know how exciterd you must have been. Thanks for sharing. TJ

I would say this is a good trategy. Walk 1/4 down on the ridges and this is uaually where you will find a roost. Sit up and wait at the end of the day. Good luck! jut me, TJ
