No matter how dead they look I always hold them by the head and spin them around about a dozen times. My son pops off the heads but I leave them on. I've only been able to make it out five times this year so the new vest I bought is ready for the washer.

The area I hunt was nice and clean on opening day. Yesterday I saw a couple of guys stanging on the side of the paved creating a pile of feathers and tossing their cleaned birds on the ground so I walked over and talked to them about it to no avail as they soon departed with a heck of a mess laying there. This morning I watched a group of three hunters shoot a bird that flew into a bush about 75 yards away and they made no attempt to shag it. When they adn the little kid who was chasing down birds left I looked over and there was a mess of shells on the ground where they had been shooting with one guy sitting in a lawn chair. They may not have been responsible for the mess but they should a least make an attempt to keep the area clean. When I left today there were a couple of places on the shoulder of the road where dead birds were scattered all over. To one dads credit he did pick his up after I talked to him for a minute. G&F has been driving around but not stopping each morning I have been out. I don't want to see this area get shut down too.

When he ran against Obama he was so far out of touch during the debates it was downright embarrassing. I can only imagine how much worse he is now.

Wanna buy a vowel? LOL I hope it dries out for you lucky people with tags. Good Luck everyone and be safe.

I don't think there is anything different about hunting them in AZ as opposed to other States. Finding them is 95% of it.

I haven't lost one but left it behind a couple of times only realizing it when I got comfortable in the next place to start glassing. LOL

He said they will charge him a 20% Restocking fee.

Neat find, I didn't know that a generator that small even existed.

I fillet the meat and then put them in a bowl of ice water with sea salt for an hour in the refrigerator. Pour it off and slice each breast lengthwise into three pieces. Then in another bowl I mix cumin, chili powder and a little black pepper. This gets worked into the dove and I let it sit anywhere from an hour to half a day. I then heat a skillet and when it is hot I add some canola oil and when it starts to swirl I toss in some crushed garlic cloves, thinly sliced jalapeno, and some diced bacon with most of the fat cut off. I cover and simmer for a minute or two, then take a spatula and mix it up so it cooks evenly and add a small amount of oregano cloves and some liquid if needed. I then add the dove and let it cook on one side to brown on a separate side of the skillet for about two minutes until the top part of the dove just has a little pink left. Then I’ll add some thinly sliced green onion tops, mix and cover and turn the heat off. I serve it with fresh corn tortillas and some chopped cilantro, onion and pasilla pepper each in a separate bowl and some Mango Salsa on the side. Sounds like a lot of work but it really isn’t once you do it a few times. I have never met anyone who didn't love it. If it tastes like liver then it was overcooked, which is easy to do when cooking them on the stove top. I get my tortillas (white corn) from a local supermarket that makes them fresh all day long and go buy them a few hours before I am going to serve them and just keep them in the microwave to keep them warm.

OIL As far as Flake goes. He seems to be the Lone Ranger calling Obama on the carpet. Bombing Syria is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, next to Obama (lets shove up your tail) Care. He is drunk with power and probably looks in his shorts every day AMAZED he actually has cajones. What's worse is Hildebeast is next in line. She is guaranteed to get elected. I can only imagine what this country will be like after 2024 if the GOP can actually get it together by then because they haven't a snowballs chance in getting someone elected until then as our manufacturing goes away and morals get tossed in the canal.

Hey All, I am going to the Orlando area at the end of the first week in November to visit my sister for her birthday and want to do some saltwater fishing for possibly Snook or Dolphin Fish. Anyone have some info they can pass along?

I guess I find out firsthand next year when I go back to Long Island for my nephews wedding since I'll be there for a week to do some fishing too since now you need a license to fish saltwater. I guess we never knew how good we had it growing up. He told me that they even have a limit of two Flounder a day. I remember going out and filling a bushel basket with them as a kid. It sure helped to feed our family of seven.

I used some old Remington Dove loads #8 shot in my 20 gauge Opening Day and they were OK but I just knocked the dust of a few that flew overhead. This weekend I'm switching back to my 12 gauge with 7 1/2's.

Best of times right there. Something he will remember forever.

Did he get loose AGAIN! I thought I had him tied up pretty good this time.

Lying politicians? no way!!!! How can you tell the're lying? Their lips are moving.

I hope that is only a transitional hiccup. I know in Louisiana the Wal Marts have a computer in the Sporting Goods department that the employees use to link to F&G and print you out a nice waterproof license. A lot better than having to print your own from a home computer.

I used a Savage pump in 20 gauge I bought in the 80's from Yellow Front new for $99. I think it is a Model 67? I had a new firing pin put in it last year and had a series of FTF's on opening morning. Makes me wonder if the few drops of Kroil I put on the extractor spring got into the firing pin and mixed with some residue and gunked it up.

Congratulations. I would love to hear the story and see some pictures and dare I say you and all those involved will be walking on air for quite sometime. You're welcome at my campfire anytime.

This thread is making me hungry.

I would always take my trailer up the Sunday afternoon before the hunt and set it up and scout the area then come back up on Wednesday after I got out of work and the kids were out of school. I did it so I didn't have to come up and set everything up in the dark, especially if I has to work a full day or stay late, which always seemed to happen when I had plans. I never did it to stake out a spot as I always dry camped in the forest trying to stay as far away from other campers and their all night parties. I never thought much about it because the rule was you could camp in the forest for 14 days and then you had to move.

Look pretty budded out to me.

I heard he was with his dad and fell 25 feet and is in "Serious" condition. I believe he is 15 years old and it happened on the Rim east of Payson. Sounded like he got too close to the edge and lost his footing. Not much else was mentioned, I hope he makes a full recovery. I'm sure the father is pretty upset. Prayers for the family.

Call your Congressman and tell them to say no to the US taking military action against Syria. If Obama wants it so bad let him go over there and do it himself. Nothing good will come of it.
