Nice video work. One of these days I'm going to get someone to show me how to put music to a video. Thanks for sharing. It definitely got the old heart pumping. TJ

Thanks for sharing your success of finding so many. I only find one at a time and not by choice. Nice brownie!

I use a modified remington 870 and shot #6's last week on my very first pheasant hunt. I'ld call it more of a dog training session than a hunt though. I joined a pheasant & chukar preserve to keep my dog active during the off season. I had 5 birds put out and was able to kill all 5 with the help of Ted (aka jackshoe). If you take Chef's advise, pick up an issue of this months Outdoor Life. They have an article on how to cut and preserve your pheasant hide. I'm going to try it on my next pheasant. Good luck and take some pictures to show us. Here is a picture of Lexie and I last Tuesday. Lexie's first pheasant outing. TJ

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to get out this next week and pound the hills. Scouting for turkey and just might find a shed or two. Now's the time to get'em as they drop. Don't be fooled by others saying stay out of the winter grounds. They want it for themselves. Going in on foot won't bother them but illegal quad shed hunting is not good for the animals or the environment. Report all illegal quad activity. Happy shed hunting! TJ

Thanks for the report. After a little turkey scouting I might get a day or two in. TJ

Absolutely awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Come on bull tag! TJ

Another great game! TJ

Bill, I just gave Peg a call here from work and told her you were asking for the recipe. Since she is the one who makes them taste so good I thought I'ld let her have the honors. She's planting flowers right now and said she would get on here and post the recipe when she's finished. She joined on here last month, as pjhunt2, and it will be good practice replying. Glad you all liked them. They're really easy to make. TJ

Happy Birthday and hope this day brings all you wish for. TJ

This was just one of many good games played so far. Peg and I got to see the ending and Josh Pastner coached one heck of a game and has nothing to be ashamed of. Go U of A TJ

Knowing the bird personally just makes it that much more to stomach I'm sure Amanda. Sorry to here that happened. It's things like this that just makes me get so upset and mad. I wish I knew what it is that makes people do such a senseless act. I hope whoever committed this shamefull act gets caught. It was a beautiful bird and didn't deserve to die this way. I remember when you first posted this bird and thanks for sharing. TJ

That's an awesome picture of him alive and congratulations on finally getting drawn. Thanks for sharing. He looks really good on the wall. I hope to shoot one like that someday. TJ

That is one awesome piece of art. Congratulations to Weller's on one of the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing. I would like to see it in person. TJ

Do you know if they are selling minnows? TJ

Lol You left out ugly. That could only be me. Finally someone noticed! TJ

Happy Birthday Scott. Hope this day brings you all the happiness one could ever wish for. This was my mother's birthday as well. Now we have something in common. Don't forget your green today. TJ

Thanks for the report. I was supposed to be there Monday but couldn't make it due to a number of reasons. Makes me want to call in sick and get there before this next front rolls in. Sounds like you guys had a great time. TJ

I stayed up most of the night when this was going on and was at aww. These people and all those involved with rescue have been in our prayers and glad to see this post. TJ

Thank YOU! My last safari was in 2007. It was my 22nd trip to that continent, and the magic still was there, even with the stress those long flights put on my aged body. Bill Quimby Bill, I just can't phantom that. 22 trips has got to be a record in itself. Is there another book in the makings? Probably should be! I hope the magic will always be there for you. Only in my dreams! TJ

Some how I can smell and taste this right thru the computer. I'm married to an excellent cook and when she gets back from San Diego I will show her this to try. It looks so good. These are some of my favorite post. Thanks Hector. God I love food and it shows. TJ

I'm with Coach on not getting enough of those piggies. Great video and congratulations Jimmy. TJ

Yes I think this could have been handled much better. I have a great respect for azgf but I also had a bad experience many years ago. My Dad, brother, and I shot three cow elk in an area that was going to take some major backpacking to get all the elk meat out. The first pack trip we had more meat than tags hanging in camp and they wanted to give tickets. We argued and I was about to go to fist city and knew I was going to jail but not before a fight. I asked where should the tag be here in camp or on the remainder of the meat in the field? I also asked the game warden to meet us here in the morning and follow us in the field and see for himself. It all turned out and thank God because I wasn't going to take no sh!t before a fight. That game warden and I are good friends to this day. TJ

I had the same exact scenario a few years ago. My biggest buck to be at 20yrds and it dropped with the release of my arrow with blood everywhere on the snow. It dragged itself up the hill and beddeed down. I could have put a few more arrows in him but I knew he was mine. I went to the truck and waited 2 hours. When I arrived I found my buck had got up and was gone. I tracked for a mile in the snow and the blood stopped. I will aim lower next time and thanks for sharing that with us. It's heartbreaking but that's archery hunting. There is an area above the vitals and below the spine that they call no man's land. TJ

Welcome to the site and thanks for sharing that with us. Glad to see a happy ending to your story. TJ

Not sure what time Killmers in Globe opens up. Here is their number to call to see what time 928-425-0700. Unless there is somewhere in the valley that opens up that early, I don't know. You might try to find some minnows the night before and put an aerator and some ice in them to keep them alive. Good luck. Are you headed to San Carlos.? Brian That is the plan for now. Thanks for the information Brian. TJ
