Chef

Very nice rig. Can't wait to see how she shoots for ya.

Great pic! Finding a fresh kill covered like that would be money!

I can only assume it was Kobe. (they carry it from time to time) Plus, it was probably good in size. The marbling is so prevalent through and through, and so fine, that the steak actually looks pink instead of red. (Google Kobe beef for more info and pics, as well as current $/#) You should see what that same steak goes for at a fine restaurant after its cooked. If you like prime, Kobe is better. If you're buyin'...I'm cookin'!

AJ's Fine Foods or the Seafood Market & Restaurant (both in Mesa)

I'll get with you guys later tonight to give the rundown on the ceviche. In the meantime, here is a pic my Brother put together from pics he took. (I'm contagious in the picture taking of food dept) enlarge for detail

Orlin!... NOW THAT WAS FUNNY!!!! I could picture you running to that darn garden hose!! LOL! :lol::lol:

This bush literally had thousands of Chiltepin peppers on it. (click on pics for detail)

Great top end on that bull. Now as far as a width measurement, that bull qualifies for taking the measurement at the tips of the main beams right?

Congrats on your purchase! Looks pretty sweet. I visited the Fred Bear museum when it was back in Gainsville Florida. Very impressive and a great collection of trophies, feats, awards, and photos.

WAY TO GO NICK! Now it's Matt's turn. Best of luck to him!

I used to use it quite a bit when I was chefin' in Guam. I guess I might have got burnt out on it as I don't use it much anymore. My Thai friend used to make it from scratch and his was more traditional and much much better that what is sold commercially. He used to put it in seafood dishes and it catered really well when paired that way. Lately I've been using Cholula as well as the old classic staple Tabasco.

I think its a good idea to go with what the author suggests. Kind of like two hunters shooting the same caliber/cartridge while going in deep on a backpack hunt. In case one of the hunters' rifles because inoperable, the other rifle is his backup and he/she has ammo for it already. Teamwork.

Really cool! I've only encountered a gila monster once. In Sabino Canyon on the N side of Tucson, many years ago. I remember that cool experience and you'll cherish that video more than you know in later years.

Happy Birthday! Hope you made the best of it and from the looks of your present, you didn't do too bad!

Sweet looking buck!

Much congrats Nate!

Desertbull gave the response I had. I can literally sit behind quality glass all day long. There is nothing worse that getting that headache and having to take an extended break before you can get back to finding game.

Tj and Peg, That looks so good! Rain or shine, that looks great for just about any day. Thanks as always for sharing this with us.

I'll be there! This will be my first time attending this banquet and from what Amanda tells me, it should be a great time. I'm looking forward to meeting some more great people and seeing old friends again.

Congrats Mitch! Good looking bird and I love that fightin' pick! LOL

Nice mounts. I think pronghorn antelope lend themselves very well to wall pedestal mounts such as yours. ...As well as mesquite grilled with jalapeno orange glaze.

Congrats! I to like his name.

How neat is that! Congrats on a successful trip.
