Heat

Our son began his Air Force service one year ago today.

You are the first person I have ever heard of that actually saw the Doors perform, that's pretty cool! Janice Joplin, Bo Didly, Chuck Berry too! Way cool. Props for The Who and Queen too.

I like all kinds of music. Very fond of lots of metal. My brother is a full on headbanger! He's a drummer and was in an Iron Maiden tribute band named Total Eclipse not too long ago. He can play ALL that stuff in his sleep! I got turned onto Iron Maiden about the mid 80's. Saw them at Desert Sky or Cricket or whatever its called now about 10 or 15 years ago. Somewhere Back in Time Tour if I remember right. Epic!!! I wish I had my stack of ticket stubs with me to help me out but lets say I've seen a BUNCH of concerts. First concert I can remember going to was Jazz legend Buddy Rich with my Dad and brother at like age 5. Most recently Willie Nelson. I've seen everything from Punk to Reggae, Metal to Country and everything in between. Not too much into the more recent R&B or rap music but the old Motown stuff is really great. Notable artists/bands I've seen, certainly not even close to all: Metal/Rock: Cinderella/David Lee Roth (12 or 13 years old, Veterans Coliseum, first real rock concert, Steve Vai on lead guitar, my ears rang for days!), Motley Crue/LA Guns (Veterans Coliseum, Girls, Girls, Girls tour, 87?), Metallica (in the brand spanking new America West Arena, 1992), Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Dio with Heaven and heck, Primus Reggae: Steel Pulse, Eek A Mouse, Black Uhuru, Don Carlos, Bunny Wailer, Gregory Isaacs, Ziggy Marley (Paradise Casino, Winterhaven CA), Bad Brains (punk?), Culture Classic Rock: Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead (15 times in 3 years), Santana, Allman Brothers Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (the last tour, Red Rocks CO), Fleetwood Mac, Dave Matthews Band, Steve Miller Band, Phish, Black Crowes, Joe Walsh, Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic Popular: Beastie Boys (TCC Old Exhibition Hall and Compton Terrace), 311/Cypress Hill, Run DMC (UofA mall Spring Fling 1998), U2 (ASU Stadium 1992), Sting (Opened for the Grateful Dead, 1993 Las Vegas Silverbowl), Depeche Mode, Counting Crowes, INXS (Steel Pulse opened, 1988? Compton Terrace) Country/Western/Bluegrass: George Jones, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Asleep at the Wheel, Old Crow Medicine Show (Mesa Amphi, Grand Old Opry, Red Rocks), The Devil Makes 3, George Strait, Montgomery and Gentry, Craig Morgan (Yuma Co Fairgrounds), Brooks and Dunn, Gary Allen, Alan Jackson, Eric Church, Randy Rogers Band (Yuma County Fair), Bobby Osborne, Dwight Yoakam, Dierks Bentley, Dale Watson, Justin Moore, Chris Stapleton. We have tickets to see Billy Currington in a few weeks. A little off topic but a number of these artists passed away shortly after I saw them perform. Jerry Garcia died in 1995 a few months after the last concert I saw him perform with the Dead in Las Vegas. Tom Petty died two years ago about 2 or 3 months after I saw him and Joe Walsh at the Red Rocks. Troy Gentry died about 6 months after I saw them at the Grizzly Rose in Denver. I think I am done seeing Willie. I really regret not seeing Randy Travis perform locally, a few months after his last concert in the area he had the major stroke or whatever happened. Now when stuff comes up, we just buy the tickets and go. Life is too short to not enjoy it.

Miller's Southwest usually has a refrigerated truck in Forest Lakes to leave your elk with, and you can pick up your meat in Queen Creek when its done. I did that with an elk I got in 23 in 2013 and plan on doing the same if my wife gets one this year.

I think that's about as bad as it gets. Its all over the place for success. On the hunt I was on, there were 8 cow tags and 2 bull tags and 8 out of the 10 hunters killed their bison. The only two that didn't went home early.

Whoever did it may be a "hunter" but they sure as heck aren't a sportsman! If you have to mess up everybody else to think you have an advantage, you suck!

Is this a new or used bow? I guess you were not a big fan afterall?

You shot a unicorn! My daughter would not approve. I on the otherhand would like to pat you on the back and wish you a hearty congratulations!

Operation Game Thief!!!

Congrats to the Mrs!

Congratulations on your bluefin man! That's super cool.

Bot flies?

I'm pretty sure a taxidermist can strip it and put the fake velvet on which will last longer if I recall correctly. Freeze drying is the best way to preserve the real thing if that is still possible. I have no idea.

Way to go man! It sure feels good when it all comes together.

Thanks for sharing man, that video was cool. Nice buck too. I like how wide his horns are.

Congratulations, very nice buck!

Lone Wolf Alpha

That is a really unique and awesome buck! Big Congrats to you man!

Top notch cams with a few less expensive options, like the cable guard. If I had to buy a new one I would definitely take that one for a test drive.

You got a lot more out of that hunt than a guy that hired a guide and smashed one on the first day thats for sure. No shame in hunting hard like you did. I also really appreciate you doing it semi live on here for sure!

Don't make us beg, we've been waiting too long! Bring it!

Right on, can't wait.

NICE!!!

Way to go guys! Sounds like a fun hunt. Thanks for sharing!

Sweet, can't wait!
