    Camp meals

    Breakfast can be; 1. Nothing. 2. Cup of instant oatmeal and some instant coffee. 3. A Banana. Maybe a Naked Juice like Green Machine or a Chocolate Protein Drink. I never cook breakfast when hunting except "maybe" the day before or the day after and I never come back to camp until the end of the day. Deener OTOH, 1. Boneless chicken breast cut up and put in tin foil with potatoes, onions and chili peppers. One the grill for 30 minutes or so. 2. Lamb chops, marinate a few days before in a zip lock freezer bag with a TBL spoon of balsamic vinegar, cup of red wine or coffee, either fresh basil or rosemary, a few lemon wedges and crushed and chopped garlic cloves. Best to marinate for 3-4 days then freeze. 3. Salmon, either Coho or Copper River is preferred (never Atlantic or Farmed), pull or fillet off the skin and brown flesh, and put into freezer bags and freeze, cooks up in 20 minutes or so. I put it on tin foil with olive oil then on the grill with chopped/minced garlic with maybe some tyme. 4. Food City Carne Asade, already marinated. 5. Pre-Seasoned chicken quarters. 6. Von Hansens Brats with Sauer Kraut. 7 Dinty Moore. 8. Marinated or steak (if I have time) but either T-Bone, Porter Houses preferred. Ribeye is too fatty and greasy for me. 9. Veggies can be an assortment of fresh carrots, zuchinni or squash or red potatoes, maybe some canned beans, spiced up with chopped bacon or cinnamon, butter, curry or garlic. I try to stay away from stuff with a lot of sodium and rarely ever use salt, pepper or sugar, just a few times a year. I also refrain from chips, cookies, crackers, pretzles and processed meats like provolone and salami except for once or twice a year. Also not soft drinks except for a Jarritos a few times a year.

    Lion tag?

    I've seen 6, killed 1, missed 1 (@767). Only glassed one up, and that's the ONLY one I've seen at more than 50 tards. The one I saw was on the edge of Clear Creek and probably 800 yards away, all I had was my G22 and the sun was setting. I did talk to a guy in 33 a couple of years ago who took a pot shot at one that was across the canyon but he said he hit about 10" low at just over 900 yards.

    Lion tag?

    Save your money and buy some lottery tickets. Sure they are there but your chances of actually seeing one are slim to none. In 38 years of hunting in Arizona I have seen one lion.

    Should you get a tag if you can't read English?

    I was beginning to wonder why we had some vacant street corners off the 202 lately. I thought maybe they migrated over to San Diego for the winter.
  13. The black bear I shot was about 200 yards away and weighed about 200 pounds, maybe a little less. It was feeding and facing away when I shot. The bullet hit in the back just off of the spine and below the shoulder, it went about 10 feet and died. The bullet was a 120gr Barnes original X Bullet out of a 7 Rem Mag going about 3350. The only other bear I have seen shot was a young grizz that was maybe 500-600 #'s. It was hit broadside just behind the shoulder at about 150 yards from a 338 Winchester Mag as it fed on the bank of a river on some discarded salmon. When it was hit it jumped into the river then spun around and went into the willows. We gave it an hour and crossed over and it was laying just barely ten feet from shore.

    Culture or clueless

    Casey, I have a place I camp at (when I'm lucky enough to get a tag) which is at the end of a road. Two years ago every morning about an hour before sunrise there would be a steady stream of trucks and ATV's pull into my camp and head out, pretty frustrating but it all worked out.

    Outdoor Edge or Havalon?

    I know the Havalon has a loyal following but the blades seem small and tricky to replace.

    Bear in the Pines

    Very cool bear and great story.

    Outdoor Edge or Havalon?

    I ended up getting the Edge Pro and gave it to my son for his birthday on Sunday. Everyone had to hold it and he was pretty happy so thanks everyone for the input.

    Outdoor Edge or Havalon?

    I had a Havalon and donated it to the other AZ hunter website about 4 years ago.

    Stiener or Nightforce

    I'd like to hear how the Athlon compares to the other scopes. I had not even heard of them until about four months ago.

    To age or not to age

    I brine Javelina and age it in the refrigerator for about a week, once you get past about 8-9 days it starts to go downhill.
