I usually always stop and talk to other hunters to see where they are planning on heading out into so I can stay out of their way and also offer to let them know where I might be if they should need help in case of an emergency. You meet all kinds out there. Be respectful and safe.

Nice gesture Chris.

Links tot he pics don't load.

I love hearing stories like this from hunters helping other hunters to kids casually pulling off great shots.

Awesome looking buck.

How much will you be out?

The lightest I have used were Danner Pronghorns. They were broken in the first 100 yards. I did wear a pair of Under Armour boots that were canvass and a few inches above the ankle. Usually just wore them around camp and wore 8" leather boots when hunting. As fate would have it one morning I was hunting Javelina in 16A quite a few years ago and decided to be lazy and just wear the Under Armours. I left camp at sunrise and hiked into the Wilderness Area. About half a mile in I was walking on an old two track stopping every so often to glass. It was the HAM hunt and I had a 454 Super Redhawk (there are some big pigs in there LOL) in a chest holder, about 30 pounds in an Outdoorsmans frame pack and had 10X EL's mounted on a tripod over one shoulder. As I was walking downhill I stepped on a golf ball sized stone. Next thing I knew my right foot was sliding out away from me and down I went in a nano second. Looking around I looked at my foot and the sole of my boot was facing 90* to the right of my leg. Those Under Armour Boots had zero ankle support. Tossed them after that. I now have a plate and seven or so screws holding the one ankle bone together and a couple in the other one. I was 66 at the at the time and hunting solo. Fun stuff.

My son has a Tristar semi auto 12ga he bought probably five or more years ago and has never had any issues with it other than having to replace the o-ring which we got at Ace Hardware.

Great hunt. Lots of up's and down's for sure. What rifle combo was she using?

$7? That's rent on a Big Mac.

Welcome to QT. Just a part of life. I drive a diesel since 2000 and can count on one hand the amount of times it was a problem and still have all five fingers.

Cough up dem spots. Opening day every swinging dick and his brother will be off work so it will be crowded. I'm still shooting $2 a box Federals I bought at Wall World 4 or so years ago on clearance. A CWT GTG Shoot would be fun. The dairies we were fortunate to be able to shoot at for a few years are now houses. Talk about epic. I'm glad I didn't have to clean the 100 Eurasions we goated one CWT Member into shooting with his new gun.

I bought some Hatch Chile's and am boning out a pork roast. I have some recipes off the internet but none of them really are what I'm looking for. I want something between a broth and a stew. A little cornstarch maybe with some chicken broth?

To me it is a stand alone dish eaten in a bowl. You might be thinking of salsa.

Yes and it's a sore subject everytime. It was built as storage for irrigation and agriculture first and doubles as a source of recreational fishing in years of plentiful rainfall second.

That brings back some Buckeye memories for sure.

The most recent picture I saw it was short of the water. I believe it is 4% full. Picture is from the AZGFD Fishing Facebook Page posted on Saturday.

I was two for two this morning. Very few birds where I was.

It may have to do with a deficit of rain. I noticed a lot less agriculture this year too so maybe they only had one brood.

Check with Todd South with Southern Xpress he is in Mesa.

How much are you asking for it?

That's a beauty Don.

Not surprised. Lots of bears, close to civilization and very accessible.

Probably a Church Mens Group Brunch. Or some other event.

There is a lot of it once you get about 2500' in elevation give or take.
