Great seeing your kids be successful, glad that snake didn't get your boy, Man I hate snakes.

That's a keeper of a grandpa.

Never tried but I can do a cwt science experiment. A Block of ice didn't even seen to melt last time I had the yeti out over the weekend.

Wow best best 9 back I have seen.

Nice write up Christina, to bad your couldn't find your doe. I am with you about sitting in a blind it is really hard to do. Thanks for sharing the story and pictures.

If the little huntress doesn't come and say hi to her new world before Wednesday, Mama will be induced on Thrusday. So excited.

As my dad's friend says" If cooked wrong, the dog won't even it eat" Brine, don't over cook it and you should be okay, but that skin is the key to making it taste awesome.

Duck and Goose fat are the best, so yes it will, but not a huge deal. Try to wrap it in bacon and make sure you brine it for a little longer. For next time, keep that skin on for both ducks and geese, then cut em out. I have made goose apps before where I thinly slice the breast, give it a little flour batter and fried them up but still not as good as cooking them in the goose/duck fat.

Congrats on your first goose. Pluck the breast clean, make sure to leave the skin on. Cut out each breast piece and brine the brest meat for a day or so. Cook breast, fat side down on medium heat ,cover as needed and keep spooning the goose fat over the breast. Cook Med Rare and enjoy.

The price is shocking but if u think about how long a igloo cooler lasts compared to a yeti, it was a in brainier for me. If you use a cooler a few times a year then yeah igloo works but when your cooler spends months in the woods, its well worth it. Had my yeti for over 2 years and it still looks brand new. The money I have saved on ice alone last 2 years probably buys me and igloo cooler.

Happy Bday Amanda, thanks again for the best hunting site on the web.

It does exactly what it says it does, keeps ice longer. I had both out on a hunt same conditions and never added ice to the yeti for a 4 day hunt, south of Tucson in January. The canyon I added ice day 3. My buddies had the " cheap igloo" and were adding ice every day. I am not at all saying canyon coolers are not a good cooler but in my experience Yeti is hands down the best. I like the handles better and also the locking system is better IMO.

Wow great bull if we are were hat lucky to be able to hunt till 92 wow.

Wow what a beast.

I have them both and nothing beats a yeti.

Way to get it done, congrats.

Awesome job and congrats on the harvest. Congrats to u and your son.

Yeah thats is my weakness, when I hear a kid is involved.

Congrats to Noah for filling the freezer.

Great write up and way to stick with it and stick a nice bull. Great pic with all the kids helping, thanks for sharing.

As mentioned Google earth helps to get a good lay of the land in a particular area you are hunting but nothing can beat getting on a dirt road and exploring the unit you were drawn in. I spent a whole summer few years ago, soley looking for roads I had not been on in 6A, what a summer. I too get my fair share of " I got drawn for 6A and I dont know anything about the unit" I tell them kindly to go pound some sand. My words of advice if you are asking for help on this site, its best to have certain areas you want to hunt in mind, BEFORE asking for help. heck G&F will give you good spots to hunt right off the website. My favortie PM's respond to start with " I plan on hunting this area ................., What are your thoughts?" When I say this area I dont mean general areas like Stoneman Lake rd either. It has taken most of us generations to learn about a particular unit and when you come on here, asking for help, on your first or second post, personally you are insulting most of us that have put in countless hours, miles on a dirt road, and probably lost the person( Grandpa/ Dad etc.) that taught us the unit.

I am installing a new ceiling fan and have to replace the bracket that screws into the wall. I have one screw I can not get out of the wood stud. Any help would be awesome on how to get the screw out. it is not stripped yet but getting there. The baby is due in a week or so and mama bear is getting pissy about the eye sore in the princess room. Also if I can't get it removed then I will need a north phx handy man if anyone has a good recommendation.

Congrats Ryan way to get it done with the boys.

Coors light grips

Wall, ceiling same thing lol
