I hope you mentioned to him that he should share his hunt pic here on the forum....

Oh...poor TJ and Lexie!!! I feel for you buddy! Maybe she is worried about you over doing it with your knee?? Hard to believe Peg would ask you to not go out glassing for a morning....you could have still been back in time to help cook, right?

Wow!! Somehow I missed this thread until today! I got the pic texted to me back when you shot the ram, but thought you hadn't posted the story until it popped up again today after Chef added "the rest of the story"....wow what a story and congratulations on a great ram!!

Mark Denham recently finished up basic training and is now a US MARINE!! Way to go Mark! here is a pic of him by his vehicle in his new uniform! Congratulations Mark!

Merry Christmas! We missed you at the CW xmas party!

I love it Jim!! Merry Christmas!

Awesome!! I am sure your mother would be very proud of you!

Excellent write-up and photos! I like reading about the whole hunt whether you kill or not. It's great you get out there with your dad!

here is a "how to" posted by Chef awhile back: http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22895

I love watching the adventures of the Koury brothers!! Good luck this year!

Thank you Doug! Merry Christmas to you!

Thank you Brian, I appreciate your input! And I encourage anyone with questions about big game management to feel free to contact Brian (he is the Game Branch Chief for AGFD). And I also encourage you all to attend some of the commission meetings to see how things happen there. As Bill stated, individual commissioners can have a huge impact on how things are done within the dept. Individual hunters, as well as conservation groups like the AZ Deer Association and AZ Elk Society have had significant influence as well. Both groups have employed ex-AGFD employees to help make our cases before the commission and that has worked very well for issues related to the Kaibab and the recent changes in buck:doe ratios. http://www.azdeer.org/presidents_%20message_Hunt_Guidelines_2011.pdf

I showed your post to Paul (aka willhunt4food) and he says we should have just driven over to your house for dinner!!

Looks like you did a great job TJ! That made me go out and have steak for dinner!

Wow, I am glad our little deer don't have to deal with that very often!

Yikes! that looks and sounds C-O-L-D!!! Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing the adventure!

Way to go Mike!!

Paul and I enjoyed an amazing aerial view when we flew over the canyon on our way to Portland for thanksgiving. It was just breathtaking! I also saw it from the air when flying to Utah last year. Not quite as intimate as when you are in a small aircraft, but it was still very impressive! I snapped a cell phone pic out the window. Doesn't really do it justice.

TJ and Peg, I think Eddy and Karen are planning to come too. Amanda

LOL!! It must be so painful for you to read this forum with its lack of proper English!

I have never had any javelina meat that wasn't good! It is just like any game meat when well taken care of in the field. I have grilled the backstraps marinated in lawrys citrus grill marinade and they were excellent. I have made some amazing jerky that everyone loved. Chorizo and sausage is another great way to use the meat. link to a recipe: http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23518

Chad asked me to post this pic of his new sticker....he loves it! I think it looks pretty cool! what do you guys think?

Now tell me honestly does this sticker make my back window look big?? LOL!!

OMG!! That's an awesome buck, congratulations!! Wow, can't wait for the story. And it sounds like Josh has some sheds from your buck, so that will just add to the story!! Very cool!
