Chef

My pleasure. I hope the leaf springs work out for you. They are practically brand spankin' new, and am really happy that they will be put to good use. Even better that they went to a forum member that likes to chase critters as much as I do. Glad I could help! I've met more good people on this forum than I can count. It makes me feel good when I can pay it forward.

Welcome back Lark.

The groups are signing on to the proposal because we all show support for an alternative plan. It's that simple. If the Feds end up with control of the wolf program, it doesn't matter how much crying and complaining we all do on this forum or otherwise. It would be a nail in the coffin so-to-speak, and who knows how many wolves would intimately be in their plan. So of course, I wholeheartedly support an alternative!

To add, what Steve posted is basically legal speak stating that upwards to 1000 wolves populating even as far a north as the Kaibab is their intended target. This is NOT good and we are trying to control how many wolves are introduced as well as the areas that are intended to occupy.

PRDATR, The Feds want to control the wolf situation. We, as constituents, don't want the Feds to control this in Arizona or New Mexico. The main objective here is to offer a viable alternative plan that Arizona can implement and maintain. Therefore gaining a little control over the wolf program. If the proposed outline is not approved, the Feds keep control and shove their own wolf plan down our throats. With more wolves than we can sustain and control. I hope my paragraph makes sense.

Hope you are enjoying your day Ilene!! Happy Birthday!

That's a great adventure and you did a great job of taking photos! The best part of that is you'll always come back and check it out. Congrats to all of you, Mexico is pretty awesome.

Beautiful hide and chest mark. That's a fine specimen.

Yeah buddy! Hope you enjoyed your steak and time with the family. Happy Birthday!

It's the beer. . . . .

Looks good on the wall man. That was one heck of a hunt you guys had.

I tear up every time I read these posts. I am so sorry for your loss. Mocha sure looked happy. I am sure you gave her a wonderful life, and based on your username, I know she meant the world to you. I hope someday soon, your grief can turn to a smile every time you think of her.

It was a great evening! Enjoyed sitting with old friends and I always look forward to meeting new people from the forum! We didn't win much this go around, one beautiful shotgun and a nice folding/rocking camp chair was all. That didn't mean we weren't trying! I hope a ton of money was raised for wildlife conservation. Thanks again Kathi (Mrs125coues) for arranging our tables, I wish we would have had more time to chat. Mark (125coues) came over for a little while which was really nice, but i know you two were working your butts off! It was great seeing Kevin Call again from High Point Outfitters, and one of our newest sponsors. They played some of their footage on the big screen at the banquet and it sure got the juices flowing! Again, thanks so much for the support. I recognized one of our own (TJhunt2) on one of the live auction items! Also, we had two outdoors-men that had never attended a conservation banquet invited to our coueswhitetail tables. They had a great time as well and look forward to the next one! Thanks to Amanda and coueswhitetail.com for their donating of seats! If you were at last night banquet, post up! What were some of your highlights?

That's sexy!

I like the forum better once the cards start hitting and the draws come out and we start huntin' for shed and bucks and bulls and...

Reminds me of a hunt that's on the video covering the San Carlos. A guy hits a MONSTER bull in the front like that (different angle) but the blood spewing out is the same. Unreal. Congrats to the young lad. I love his excitement.

That's what it's about right there! I have a little nephew that's been talked to about hunting by his mother. Needless to say, she doesn't shed it in the best of light. I hope to change that. Have fun at the lake!

Yes welcome and thanks for the support!

I've shot fluted barrels next to regular barrels and the heat dissipation on the fluted barrels is unreal. So above how wicked your rifle looks, you'll notice a huge difference in the barrels cooling personalities.

The fluting looks totally slick Phil! I've always drooled over Kampfields cerakote jobs as well. Can't wait to see the rifle in person. Hoping she turns out to be a real shooter for you. Did you weigh the rifle before and after the fluting and bolt skeletonizing?

Congrats to you and the Mom to be!

Thanks Kathi! I am sure looking forward to a great evening! Good food, stellar friends, and all for a better cause. See you all this weekend!

Thanks guys. I'll be giving cutting edge a call.

Looking for someone that does decorative landscape curbing in the East valley. Good quality with ideas for me to consider. Kind of starting with a blank slate. Thanks in advance!
