Thanks for sharing. I have got to try that thru the binos. Looks like you have a good spot. Let's see some more pics once it's on the ground. Good luck guys! TJ

Congratulations and let's see some pics when you figure it out. TJ

The wife and I eat all types of game meat but the pig is our favorite. No, serious! I have a few under my belt and the very first one I cooked in the oven I threw it away. I then heard about pit BBQ and found that italian salad dressing and garlic was pretty tasty. Lately I have been making my own sausage and have found this to be the best ever. I bought some sage and hot italian sausage mix years ago out of Colorado and have been using it ever since. I've never gotten more than 15lbs of meat out of one and them critters and then buy the same amount of pork. Add the two together and blend in your spices and refrigerate over night. I then add just enough ice water to get the texture right and grind. I would like to try out Denmarks, where Troy takes his, just for something different. I enjoy making the sausage as much as the hunt itself. What you do with the pig after the kill is the most important part of getting a good tasting sausage. Amanda hit it on the head. TJ

All the words have been used to discribe this BEAUTY. My hats off to you and this has to be one of the sweetest bucks I have ever laid my eyes on. Congratulations! TJ

Looking forward to seeing all the pictures and congratulations to the ones that have tagged. BOHNTR.....That's sweet! TJ

Congratulations on a fine looking buck. The story was pretty good timeing with all the talk about electronics lately. I enjoyed the humor and thanks for sharing. Great picture! TJ

I've called them scapes for years and just who came up with the stupid rub word? TJ

jeffcros.....congratulations on your success. I bet that is going to be some good eating. Thanks for sharing the pic. TJ

couesnut.....Sorry for your loss. Sounded like he was a special guy who really cared for the sport of hunting and helping others. My thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family. May God Bless! TJ

Thanks Jim for the great story. I felt like I was there every step of the way. Thanks for sharing the pics and being a real asset to coueswhitetail.com site. TJ

Welcome back Jim! TJ

Good idea not waking up the wife!! I can just see it now...hey honey, come on, wake up, they need a picture of the shirt in the forum! No, it can't wait 'til morning! I'm tempted, but know better. I want to live! TJ

My arms aren't long enough to get the camera far enough away to take my own picture. Wide angle doesn't even help. I don't dare wake the wife up. TJ

Just got home from work and there they were on the counter. I felt like a little kid opening up a x-mas present. They are better than I had expected. Those of you who haven't ordered better jump on the band wagon caus they are nice look'en. Thanks again Amanda for putting this all together. TJ

I wouldn't have played if I knew you was going to let your husband play. TJ

Amanda.....can't wait to see how purdee I look in them. TJ

gotcoues....good luck with your hunt and that's just awesome your daughter will be part of your hunt. Your right to expect long hours spent in pursuit of your goal. Sometimes it comes quick but most of the time it is long hours sitting that makes it all work. I'm in no way as experienced as some of the others on here but for me, during these hot days, it's tough to hang in there all day the older I get. My best time to be in the stand is 9am-4pm with 11am-2pm the most active in my past hunts. Keep us posted and take lots of pictures for all of us to enjoy. Shoot straight! TJ

H B Troy! TJ

plus 1!

Thought I might post I won't be camped at Cholla until Tuesday as Amanda posted. I did tell her that but I had to come back home to the aircondition. !00deg in the camper is a little to much for me along with a sunburn. Nicole and her bunch are doing some really meaningful work and could really use some help if anyone is interrested. I was amazed at how they do the things they do with all the modern technology. We didn't get a chance to capture any fawns but it is like Amanda said. They check every day for new borns and it's on the deer's terms. I wimped out with the heat and think I just might be starting to show some old age symptoms. I will be buying a bigger generator to run my air that's for sure.

I'll say 3,269. TJ

You bringing your boat for fishing too? or just from shore? Amanda Yes, the boat will be coming, that's why I have to stay in Cholla. Another coueswhitetail party sounds great. Hope a few of yens show up for the workshop. YENS? TJ

Amanda, look forward to working with you this weekend. For those who might show up I'll be camped in the Cholla Camp Ground in a 5th wheel with COUESWHITETAIL.COM accross the back. The WELCOME is always open in my camp. TJ

Happy Birthday and good hunting. TJ
