Little Creek Calls

For me I like cooking brisket to 203 for the Flat and 205 for the point. Lately I have been separating the two muscles before smoking so I get more bark and so both get cooked to perfection. When cooking unseparated all together and I am smoking for the perfect point the flat is overdone slightly dry and falls apart. If I cook for the perfect flat the point gets under cooked and is not as tender as I would like. Separating them before takes a bit of time but you just follow the fat line between the muscles. Your finished product will turn out better and the meat will be easer to slice correctly. Brisket is my favorite meat to smoke. Good luck.

I have fly fished the ferry multiple times and have only ever caught rainbows and only seen rainbows caught. I don't think the browns frequent the wadable shallows and sand bars as much as the rainbows. I have seen photos and heard stories of brown trout being caught but most of them come from trolling lures. I don't think the fly fishing community would participate as much in the rewards program anyway, they are more catch and release and opposed to removing brown trout.

That's crazy the top angler made almost $4000 catching and turning in brown trout above Lees Ferry. 53 fish and 10 had tags.

I would go with one of these two. I have a Gould's hunt this spring and if I decided to get it mounted I will take it to cut n strut. Kyle Thorn at Cut-N-Strut Taxidermy, only does turkeys. Sven Eberson Wildlife Wings and Design Taxidermy

In the fall flocks are much larger even sometimes up to 100 birds mostly hens and jakes or all toms. In the spring they break up into smaller breading flocks 8 to 15 birds. When you see them in the fall you think there are more because of the flock size but in the spring they are just more spread out.

Hope you drew the second hunt in 12A. Access will defiantly be an issue. Follow the melting snow line and don't get stuck in the snow drifts. Maybe think out side the box and bring a mountain bike that you can carry over the drifts to get access to unhunted areas. Quite a few years ago after hitting a deep drift we couldn't cross we hiked in 5 or 6 miles and got into some areas that were really good with lots of birds calling but the long hike and crossing lots of deep drifts on foot sucked. I told myself the next time I would bring a mountain bike.

The first Cabela’s I visited was in Dundee MI back in the early 2000’s. I was on vacation with some friends and we drove out of our way to go there. It was huge and at the time I thought it was great and we spent two or three hours there. I also remember when sportsman’s warehouse first opened its phoenix store in 2003. I could drive across town and spend a couple hours there just looking at everything. The first Bass Pro shop I went to is the original home store in Springfield MO and was not as impressed. When Cabela’s and bass pro both opened in town I was disappointed. I don’t know if it was because I had already become used to the large stores from the other visits or from having been regularly shopping at Sportsman’s. I enjoyed the experience of both but found myself buying more product and finding what I was looking for at the warehouse style shopping at Sportsman’s where they tried to get as much product on the shelves as possible. Now it seems like Sportsman’s has a lot less product to offer on the shelves and I leave most visits not finding what I am looking for. I also find myself not going to any of the three and buying more online. Whenever on vacation I still enjoy visiting different Cabela’s and Bass Pro store locations that I haven’t been to as each location seems to be a little different.

Some states like Washington do not allow raffles and can sue and ask for a refund after its over. They could change it to a sweepstakes to cover for that but then they have to add no purchase necessary entries. I think by making it must be present in AZ when purchasing it allows them to keep it a raffle and avoid free entries and clears all legal problems that could arise.

Sand some more DeWitt. I graduated in 95.

Don't you teach Woodshop at Snowflake High? I graduated a Lobo. Thanks for continuing to teach a usable skill to the newer generation of kids. Its nice to see some of the kids take interest in something other than video games and YouTube.

A few years back I made a mesquite slab table for my wife’s plants and cut some mesquite logs for the legs. My wife liked the look of the live edge on the legs even though there were some bug holes in the sap wood. When cutting, plaining and sanding the wood for the legs lots of beetle larva came out of the woodwork. Put on lots finish and didn’t think much of it. Then every year for the first year or two we would get a beetle or two that would burrow there way out of the legs and show up on the floor under the table.

I have made several turkey call strikers using bug hole wood. It nice to use the wood and not just throw it away or burn it. I have mainly done it with mesquite wood.

I like the bug hole wood on the front plaque, looks cool.

There is also a fall hunt but I have never hunted that time of year

They are Rio's. The biologist said they breed year round but peak in the spring. The spring hunt is the month of March with a two tag limit. There are no natural predators so they are fairly easy to call in.

I love Turkey hunting in Hawaii. Hunted there several years until my brother moved from Hawaii. Its a regular Hawaiian vacation with one morning and afternoon used to fill all our turkey tags (2 each). I cant wait to take my boys back in a year or two. Just a few things to know before you go hunting in Hawaii. You have to mail in proof that you graduated from hunter safety and receive back a letter of exemption that you didn't take it in Hawaii in order to get tags and a license, you cant just show up with AZ hunters ed card. Also you have to check your firearm in with the local police department upon arrival.

I love my Dyna king vice. Great deal. The hook holding power of a Dyna king vice is the best. Much better than anything else I have ever tied with. Is that the Dyna king brand accessory light?

My kids liked the international wildlife museum, titan missile silo, and Sonoran desert museum. If you like old westerns Old Tucson used to be fun, looks like they just reopened after being closed for two years. For food we like sonoran dogs at El Guerro Canelo, sandwiches at Barrio Charo, Amy's Donuts, and breakfast burritos at Barista Del Barrio.

I will take a case. PM sent. Thanks for passing on the great deal.

Turkeys will either love decoys or hate them. I have had decoys ruin several hunts when it sends them running in the opposite direction. I am a caller and like calling turkeys and having them come looking for me and don’t use decoys much. Out of around 50 turkeys I have harvested 5 or less have been with decoys. The main situation I find myself using them is if I am hunting a real open area with lots of large meadows where you can see for hundreds of yards, or if I am out of state restricted to only a small section of private land. Pricing on decoys is just like everything else and is out of control $$$. I you really think you want one or two in my opinion the best ones are 1. DSD (Dave Smith Decoys) 2. Deception decoys 3. Avain-x decoys.

You can buy a full body mount listed in the classified on this site. Looks like it is still available and I don't think you will find a full cape any cheaper. Even looks like the seller is in Show Low same as you. https://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/108232-desert-bighorn-sheep-mount-for-sale/
