Welcome to the site and good luck on your draw. TJ

Christian, Just got home from work and couldn't wait to see your pictures. Looks like an awesome trip for sure. Your photos were excellent and the color on them trout are just beautiful. Time spent with Dad is priceless and thanks for sharing with us all. TJ

Thanks Jim, I will look into it when I get home from work tonight. TJ

Here is my problem. My wife finally said she was taking me on a much needed vacation for her to San Francisco. Why there I do not know but the trip has been booked and there isn't anyway out of it. She seems to think I spend way to much time up under the rim country and fishing around here and it's time for a real vacation without all that. I'm not going to begin to figure that one out but I need some help on this one. I talked her in to doing a day trip out fishing for the day while we are there and found several charters in the bay area but to many to decide from. I don't care what kind of fish but there is no way I'm walking around San Francisco for 8 days without wetting a line in that water. Has anyone experienced or knows someone you have fished with that you would recommend? She has gone as far as to say there will be know camo taken on this trip. Yeh right! She has already started and we haven't even got there yet. Much needed prayers will greatly be appreciated. TJ

We released 4 and kept the big boys so the others could have room to grow. I'm a believer in catch and release and a bigger believer in having a good ol' fashion fish fry once in a while. TJ

Thanks kphunter. I was using a 9-15ft deep dive crank bait with black back, green side, and yellowish orange bottom. Rapala sells for about $10 but I bought the cheap $4.39 Storm version at bass pro. Color is called firetiger. Good luck! TJ

Doug, that is a very generous offer for sure to our members. Vortex binoculars have been getting really good reviews lately on their image quality and low-light performance in a number of publications. TJ

That is a good picture of you two on the lake and if he is already asking to go again you definitely did it right. Introducing your girlfriend and her son to the outdoors is the only way to go. Wait till he catches a fish and he'll be hooked forever along with the girlfriend. TJ

Yes Amanda, I believe it has become a good luck charm for sure. I had forgotten to mention I had it on during that trip. Gino.......No secret honey hole just a real lucky day for me but it was 11:50a.m. across from the boat ramp. Jim.....it certainly is a day to remember but most of all I got to share time with my brother on the lake. That means more to me than the fish. Thanks everyone for your comments. TJ

Been a long time since I've been there so it was nice to see some pictures again. Great pictures Doug. TJ

Thanks for sharing and what a great day off of work. I think I would leave the elk under the tree so you could take other in there for show and tell. I'll be first thank you. TJ

Tracey, that was an awesume story about RL and your first elk. Glad you had a chance to say some kind words towards him on here. My hat is off to you RL and keep up the good work. We need more of your type. It will be a pleasure to meet you someday. TJ

Traveler...kphunter...thanks for some great information to check out. 300ultramag.....The Delta What am I missing. I know I'm a little slow TJ

Casey, do they make these for men as well? I know them badgers are mean but isn't this a little overboard? Just kidding Casey, Thanks again for putting your life on the line for a bunch of us folks here in AZ. Happy Memorial Day to you young man. TJ

Happy Birthday from me as well. Hope you have a great day and all the tags you apply for this year. TJ

The first buck would definitely be a yes with the bow and the second buck for sure with either bow or gun. Thanks for sharing the great pics of both. It's always nice to see some lopes on here since I don't get up that way often to see them. TJ

Hoghntr, Do you know who sells them here in the valley? I would like to shoot one of these. These could keep the older hunters in the woods alot longer. I looked at your profile and saw that you like to hunt the javelinas as much as I do. They are my #1 choice as well. I'm hoping to draw a fall pig hunt since I failed to connect with one in Jan. Also saw your birthday was May 23. HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY and good hunting this year to you and your family. TJ

Congratulations to RL, his hunter, and you for sharing the picture and the story. I like the fact that there are still those willing to help not only the younger hunters but the older ones as well. TJ

Thanks Kent for putting that on so I could view it. Nicely done! TJ

Same here for me as well. TJ

Thanks for starting this post. My thoughts exactly. God Bless each and everyone of them. TJ

I can see why you are in LOVE with that buck. That is one I would like to see after you harvest him. Very nice! TJ

I just saw this post and got here late for giving any advise before you bought your parker cyclone. They have come a long way in developing these bows and like any bow it takes some practice to shoot with confidence. A little late but here is what I know, which isn't a whole lot, but I borrowed a Horton from a friend and had to shoot several differrent broad heads before finding one that would shoot straight. The rage was the worst grouping broad head I shot and the wack'em was the best for my setup. I'm sure every bow shoots differrent so practice and you will due just fine. I have a friend who owns a ten-point and it has a built in draw which is sweet. I was fortunate enough to shot a javelina, turkey, deer, and elk with it two years ago. Good luck with your new bow and be sure and post some pictures of your success. TJ

Nicely done Jim! Can't wait to see some more video. Good luck to all your hunters and staff. TJ

Peg and I really enjoyed that and that got us both laughing. I bet there is never a dull moment with her around. TJ
