36A, Marlin 336, 30-30. My sons, not mine. I refused to hike to the top of this peak

So I tired something different with the Ahi Tuna - made a soy based marinade (soy, sesame oil, teriyaki, ponzu, and tempura), let it soak about 10 mins flipping. Did the usual seasoning after and seared, came out great and no need for any extra soy later. Comes out a little darker than no marinade. Like this way.

Very good marinated Pollo asada for tonight's dinner.

Ribeye, blazing fire and mesquite, and cucumber salad....

Payson, where you from Wickenburg, kidding. Put your kids in one of the private schools up here. Lots of sports, cool park with fish. Great people like Bojangles. Costs are the same as hot box down there. Anyway I would pick Payson everytime. If you want a big lake and don't mind Phoenix type heat, Tonto Basin is booming and the bridge is complete. Code to great hunting. Hope all works out for you and the family.

Shhh!!!

If I was driving to phoenix only once a week I would move down south to Sonoita/Elgin I love that area. If you have to drive 2x a week it would make the decision a lot more difficult.

Can this site afford to lose any more people? What is there, like maybe 30 active members? Guy hasn't been rude or a dick.

I have some carpet. 75th ave and Thunderbird

A bit late but here was the result of my hunt. I did 6 or so quick early morning glassing sessions throughout the summer and found 4 decent bucks and saw 3 of them multiple times in the same general areas. Tall with weak forks; short but thicker and curvy; wide; and this unknown one too far away. Day before season we started closer to this buck to get better eyes on him and found him with a few does. They went up and bedded in a good spot to shoot. After not seeing any more antelope driving and glassing the unit the rest of that day we set up in the same spot to find this buck opening morning. He started in about the same spot but this time he and the does went 1.5 miles away from us and into an area with no roads and out of sight. The hill he disappeared on had one tree that they could have used for bedding, otherwise they might have slipped down further away. I decided to get up on the knob above them. Made the 2 mile trek in 100+ degree heat. Got up above them and peered over and thought I saw them but realized it was a small forky mule deer and a doe/fawn bedded in the other tree on the hillside. I kept creeping over and saw the top of the tree that I could see on the map and sure enough the buck and 2 does were bedded under it. I set up for the shot and when he stood up I dropped him in the only shade on the sunny hillside at 160 yards. The neat thing was that I had run into the game and fish guy for the unit the day before so I was able to share that he was down and he shared pictures of the archery tag's buck as well as the other rifle tag's buck the next day when he killed. The meat has been as good or better than any of the best deer or elk I've ever had. Even cuts that aren't usually very tender on deer/elk have been tender on the antelope. Probably because it had been slow cooked in the sun all summer long. 😉 7 or 8 days of being out there an not one rattler for me. My eyes were on the lookout in all that heat but none shown themselves. The odds ended up being pretty crazy to draw the tag. 603 people put in for the 2 tags but the 1 tag went in the bonus round to the other rifle hunter with 27 points. So it was me against 602 people for the remaining tag.
