Thanks for clearing this all up for us Tony. No question in my mind.

Got That Right Plus you should have seen the blisters on Linnea's feet last year Good thing she is tougher than you "My shoulder Hurts" Sorry if I hit a nerve there GH. Actually I'm not hurt. I'm just working on my new excuse for you and everyone else to carry my meat elk out for me this year.

Well m77, you can thank all the guys on here for giving you an education today. Did I just say that?

The only reason GH wants his girls in new boots is so they can pack out his elk for him.

Happy Birthday from this end as well. Hope you celebrated over the weekend.

Ya mean like this dill hole. That's my salt in his hand. Hey DILL HOLE, you owe me $2.47. To bad you didn't get his face to post. Try Walmart, $1.88 for the brick.

m77, I will agree with the permanitly attached tree stands but that's it. Are you talking about Arizona? You aren't the only one who thinks that way I'm sure. Where is this in writing so I can catch up on the rules. Maybe it's me who is the unethical hunter in the woods but I don't think so. Thanks for your opinion and looking forward to reading where the law is written. TJ

Already have and it should be a crime to put pictures of food on here.

I have been putting salt out for many years. Sounds to me like you have talked to this person and he doesn't want you to hunt it. No brainer here, don't hunt it. Have I hunted other salt licks I've found, you bet and I have walked in to mine and found hunters actually in my tree stands. Just because a person has a salt lick out doesn't mean he owns the woods but I would respect his territory if he is hunting it and find another spot. Let him know you won't mess with it and I have found most times they will say go ahead and hunt it as long as I'm not there. I have actually told the person in my treestand to go ahead and hunt the morning out in it but also told them I expect to be hunting there the rest of the season. Boy, do they get a surprise to find your not mad and you say good luck and walk away. Yes, I might be disappointed but I have found it's better to not make a hassle out of it and go to my back up spot. More than likely they offer to get out. If it is your only spot then politely tell them they can stay in your stand but you will have to remove the steps so you can use them on your other spot. There is plenty of woods so go build your own honey hole and expect someone to find it because they will. The one thing that will T me off is the bum that steals my salt block. That's another story.

Yes bobbyo, that is why there wasn't enough tags for you this year. Only three bull elk! It's got to be your turn next year. Let me be the first to say Good Luck on your next year elk tag.

I haven't looked if it changed back this year but the last couple of years in 22 we had deer, squirrel, and hound hunters chasing lion & bear during our 22 archery elk hunt. I also thought it was closed for non elk tag holders until I asked a game warden. It didn't cause a problem for anyone in our party except a couple squirrel hunters walking in to hunt on one of our water holes we were sitting. They politely left and I would had done the same if they had been there first. If you get off the road, put in your home work, you can get away from most of the overlap hunters. People in general don't like changes but I feel if we all work together and get rid of some of the negitivity, and try to use some positive thinking, we just might settle alot more issues with G&F instead of hating everything they do. That's just my opinion and I'll keep an open mind. G&F isn't going to please everyone. Maybe I'm to soft on G&F but after 17 staight archery tags I'm loving life. TJ ps Kock On Wood!

That plant in the second picture looks like some funny weed I hear about growing in the hills around Payson. What's the chance of getting that new species on your trail camera? Any idea what they call them and is the one on the right albino? Good find!

I just knew someone would recognize us, It was eigther the hitch or the 24 cases of beer in the rear of the motorhome that got us stuck. With our new lift kit and 4x4 added we are good to go with our once again elk tags. Troy, what's wrong with our blind? I will admit it was a little cramped but the air worked. TJ

Does she hunt? That's an understatement. I've been with both of Mike's girls on several hunts and they can out shoot me with a rifle. They both have several kills and can skin & gut their own animals. Just to let you in on a little secret, Mike keeps a shotgun loaded with young buckshot for some reason.

Happy Birthday youngster! Hope you have a good day and you kick a$# tonight at the shoot. Stopped in a couple times in the store but your boss said you don't get out of bed before 10am. Good luck on your elk hunt this year. TJ

I hear all three are good and I personally like the service at Archery Headquarters and their prices might be a little higher but you get excellent service and they have an indoor range that has air and that is why they're my pick. Good luck!

Nice pictures, I would have to pass on the buck, tough looking rump steaks. Thanks for sharing with us. Awesome bull body.

I'm in the drawing and expect to win. Can't find no pigs on my own anymore.

Sorry Mike, but I already talked to your Dad today. HOWDY NEIGHBOR!

[: Hey TJ..... sorry no 22S bulls.... I thought your old buddy, GH, was gunna help you out on that deal???? Are we gunna have to "bail" him out on that???? Gino, you know how the GH is, his lips are sealed. Thanks for the offer but I've been doing some home work on the maps and I'm about healed enough to start coming up and put in my dues. As you know by now I'm in it for the meat so I won't need anything bigger than a GH elk. Thanks for the awesome pictures and I don't need to tell you how important that water is for the game and a hunting spot as well. Good luck with your hunts and I look forward to meeting you in the future. Shoot straight! TJ

Thanks for the reminder. RT

I see!! you have been paying attention to what Gino has been telling you. You speek with forked tounge

Sorry Tom, Thats not 22 Don't be fooling yourself Mike. Just caus you can't find them like that doesn't mean they aren'y there. Wake Up and Smell The Antlers! Morning!
