Very nice, Phil! Congrats!!

I've known about them for quite a while, but forgot about them. They were on my list for a few years, butvi never got motivated enough to go. And, they're real Rios, too! are you trying to say the turkey's Syd will be hunting in Kansas aren't real Rio's maybe they aren't real turkey's. The turkeys Syd will be hunting are an intergrade between Rios and eastern. But then, how do you have hybrids with subspecies?

I'm definitely digging that little javelina skull in those pics! He's done an awesome job!

Goonies? what scenes. didn't know this. No kidding!?!? One of my all-time favorite movies. What part was filmed in Arizona?

Got myself a couple of raffle tickets for the coolers and a couple for the range finder!

First time fly fishing was on a backpacking trip in the San Juan Mountains near Cortez in late September. Guy at the local shop had a close-out deal on a 7'6" 2 piece Orvis combo. I didn't catch anything, but it stuck with me. First trout on a fly rod was on the San Juan in February 2006. Was going to take the family over there this spring break now that they are finally all into fly fishing, but we couldn't get it worked out. We're talking about a trip in early June. I've never had a problem with mosquitoes over there in June. I miss that place!

Got it and replied

Haven't seen the PM yet, but I'll mark you down!

Got it!

Ok, I didn't expect the 22 cards to go this fast! You guys are awesome! I'm having another deck sent to me. In a couple of days, I'll have another full deck of 52 cards available. 'Twas Yotebuster that put me over the edge. Thanks for that one!

I'm getting a whole other deck from our Tucson chapter. I'll set five aside for you from that! Do you have my info from last year, still? Thanks!

You got it, Steve! If you want more, I can arrange for more from another chapter.

Aso of right now, there are 4 cards left. I'm emailing back and forth with TRKHNTR, so you have to beat him to the draw!

15 of the 22 cards are SPF already! Thanks to those of you who have PMd me! 7 left to grab!

Weren't you in one of the first talking movie filmed in Arizona, too, Tim? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sorry, friend. I'll go to time out now!

Others I can't believe you've missed so far: The Outlaw Josey Wales The Postman National Lampoon's Vacation (can't go to the Grand Canyon without thinking of that) Sasquatch Mountain Mars Attacks! Piranha 3D 3:10 to Yuma (original)

Beat me to it! CLASSIC 80s!

I think I still have my javelina head from 3 years ago in the freezer. My first archery javelina and its tiny. I'd love to have the skull done, but can't justify the cost. I'm willing to let him experiment on that one. It needs completely skinned/boiled, but if he wants it, I'll let him work on it. I'm in Flagstaff, but should be coming to the valley Sunday for two soccer games. If he wants to experiment with it and we can meet up close to one of the soccer fields, I'll throw it in. I won't know where we're playing and what time until later tonight and I'm in UT for a meeting Weds-Fri night, but I'll have access to the internet. PM is the best way to reach me.

Congrats, Mike! Glad to see you are able to get out, but I bet you rushed home to your new little boy!

Will do! Sure hope to see you back again!

That's awesome! Addie was one of my hunter ed students a couple of years ago. She's a great kid and fun to be around. Your daughter looks familiar, too. Congrats to both young ladies!

There's still room. Our banquet is this Saturday and we'd love to see you up here!

Sorry for getting this out so late, but our annual Hunting Heritage fundraising banquet will be in 3.5 weeks, on Saturday, February 25th. Doors open at 5pm and we have tons of great stuff, and will highlight our youth again this year. We have new table options and raffle ticket packages this year, after hearing requests from some of our past attendees. We'd love to have you be there. My phone number is on the flyer if you have any questions about the banquet. Banquet Flier 2017.pdf

She'll be hunting turkeys, silly! The area around El Dorado is mostly the hybrids, if you can really call subspecies a hybrid. We've talked about it and she really doesn't care. She just wants to get a turkey. I have a friend in Pratt and we have an open invitation to go hunt Rios there anytime. That's been a backup for both of us. I considered turning my Gould's tag over to her, but I only considered for about 10 seconds. She knows why I wont and she fully supports me keeping it. Besides, we've been banking points for my wife and she should get drawn soon, too. That tag goes to Syd. We're both after our Royal Slam and may take you up on your offer for help with an Osceola. I have access to so many family/friends' farms in Iowa for Eastern birds, its unreal.
