Congrats on the hogs. Them sure look big to me. Some day when I hit the lottery I'll have to do that. Do you mind sharing what the cost of your hunt cost you? Thanks for sharing the pics. TJ

You did a great job on photoghaphing those deer. Some of the best I've seen. TJ

I started celebrating Father's Day over a week ago by taking my Dad to Roosevelt fishing 3 days, then all my sisters, brother, and myself had photos taken to present to him at our Father's Day fish fry at my house last night. I cooked fish for 3 & 1/2 hrs. We had a house full. I then volunteered to work 12hrs today for a co-worker so he could celebrate Father's Day with his family and will finish my Father's Day gift by taking him fishing Tuesday. I thank God I still have my Father and can still enjoy the time we have left. Did you guys do anything special for Father's Day or what did the kids have planned for you? My heart goes out to those who no longer have pops around. I hope everyone had a great day. Last week at Roosevelt Pop's 09 turkey got a little wet before the picture. 80 yrs old Dad drew a 22 late rifle bull tag. I'm blessed! TJ

Got to love the rabbit. I'm working on selling a few things and then I'll be buying one of these cameras. Thanks for sharing Amanda! TJ

DUG.....congratulations to your 11 year old daughter passing her test to recieve her patch and diploma. Now let's get her a tag. Jeff......hope the scouting is going ok. Resting on Fathers Day must have been pretty relaxing. TJ

I don't have any facts to back this but I would have to think that number of 99.3% is way off the mark. My hats off to you for volunteering your time but just because you don't see alot of people at meetings or projects doesn't mean sportsmen haven't donated in other ways. There are way to many organizations, associations, clubs, ect. to mention and each one of their members giving donations and memberships would have to better the 1,000 mark you mentioned. I'm not here to argue with you I just don't want to believe it. Maybe your right but I hope not. I recently helped on a water project and found it to be really rewarding to the soul. I feel your frustration and know of many who talk the walk but won't walk the walk. With that said I also know of many who do things behind the scene like digging out old catchments, supplying water to catchments, and donate towards the game & fish donation box on applications. So when you say you don't know what the other 99.3% of the people that want deer tags but do not offer support to projects and conservation groups, just remember there is more behind the scene than you can imagine in my opion. Thanks for bringing this up and maybe this will get more people motivated towards projects. We would like you to be a forum regular and thanks for jumping in there. TJ

Congrats on your 2 goats. The mount sure is a nice one. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Congratulations Luke on your first dog. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing his success with us Dug. TJ

That was a ngreat article in Western Hunter. I'm sure there will be alot more members joining after they find out where they can get the best information about our coues deer for free. I look forward to the next issue and thanks to Chris for publishing it. TJ

Please congratulate Paul for me and thanks for bringing this to our attention. You difinately have a keeper there Amanda. You both deserve alot of credit for your continued work you do for all of us. THANKS! TJ

The wait has been worth it Ramon. That is a very nice buck and hanging on your wall to look at every day. Glad you finally got around to sharing your story with us all and thanks to Dad as well. Keep us posted on your next adventure to the great outdoors. Do me a favor Ramon and start a journal and write in the details of your hunt and all the hunts to come. This way when you get my age you will still remember them all. TJ ps.....Thanks for sharing Dad.

Thanks for sharing. TJ

Bill, I would like to pick your mind apart sometime. There is no doubt you have more stories than one could ever imagine. TJ

I've said along I would be there this year but I got a phone call this evening and a family affair is going to keep me from attending. It just seems to be it isn't in the stars for me to attend one of these. Our family has scheduled a family photo sesssion for a fathers's day occasion and I have been volunteered for a fish fry at my house for Sat. night for a Fathers Day celebration. I hope all have a good time and I hope the next one will work out for me to attend. TJ

Tracy, my heart goes out to Angie, friends, and family during this time. My wife and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayes for sure. Keep the faith and God will be with you. TJ

Jeff, I've been here for 30 some years and I've only seen two. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Great photos Doug. TJ

I must have missed this one. Congratulations on a nice bird. TJ

Just got home and couldn't wait to open a beer before seeing Jim's pictures. Looked like a great time. Thanks for sharing Jim. TJ

My work doesn't allow me to see the pics so it's going to be another looooooooooong hour before I get home and see them. TJ

Congratulations to Richard, Dennis, and your whole TLO organization. It was a real pleasure to tag along on these hunts from my chair and my hat is off to each and everyone who participated in those hunts. Lance, you took all the hard work out of it for us readers even though we all probably felt like we were there as you told the stories. It was nothing less than first class from the start to the finish. Thank you! TJ

Way to go Roy. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Awesome finding your first shed and thanks to you Jeff for posting for us to share. TJ

I just met a guy that hunts this unit and his buddy shot a bear last week and he is to hunt it when he gets back from Rosey fishing. He lives in the unit and sounds like he knows it well. TJ

Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....they have forgot about it I thing. Don't mention it! TJ
