WoW....4 weeks backpacking in the Brooks Range must have been AWESOME!! Amanda

Very Neat buck!! Congratulations! Amanda

Butters sent me this by email and we figured you all would enjoy it. Click on the pic to see the larger version which is easier to read.

Congratulations Josh! Nice spots on that cat! I like your pic showing how close the cat came in. Amanda

It was indeed great to meet you under these circumstances Justin!! What a GREAT buck and it was a real treat to be a part of your hunt!! Thanks for letting me help out. Hey, where is the thank you for Julie!! I tell you, she was so worn out yesterday she barely got up all afternoon and night. Thanks for letting her get a workout and have some scraps! She was very happy to be part of the excitement! (note the group photo...you can see julie is part of the team) and you guys won't believe how much fat was on this buck!! He had 1/2 to 1 inch of fat on his back and tons around all his insides. It was one of the fattest bucks I have ever seen in AZ!! being a biologist, of course I took some pics of the fat: Amanda

Thanks to those who attended the meeting and to those keeping this discussion interesting. I very much appreciate your posts even though I haven't been taking part in the thread. I just had some time today to read it. Thanks! Amanda

Happy Birthday Eric! Only another couple months before we hit Mexico!! Amanda

I was asked to post this: Hello Amanda, It was suggested that I post a "found dog" notice to your web site. My father recently found a dog while scouting for deer....It is white, male about 1-2 years old that the vet told us is an "American pointer". The dog was found east of I-17 on the Dugas road. Great dog, and we just want to find it's owner. Thank you for your assistance...feel free to contact me via email and /or my cell. David Leinenveber cell: 602-319-0174

Wow!! What a great buck!! Thanks for posting the score. Amanda

neat looking buck! Amanda

Awesome stuff there Lance!! How great that you could help so many kids have some great hunts!!! Thanks for posting them. Amanda

Good luck with the job and the hunt! Amanda

Nicely done! thanks for sharing your adventure with us! Amanda

Congratulations!! Neat story and sounds like a fun camp too. Amanda

Wow, congratulations! That's a great afternoon no doubt! Amanda

That's really cool. They do have a call note that sounds like an elk mew. Some describe it as saying a sharp "KLE-er" Amanda

wow, that's a nice incentive! Amanda

Very neat idea!! Amanda

You are right, 20s and snow was great, but it was the 40 mph winds that killed us!! Amanda

It was way hilariious!! Thanks for the good times Josh! Sorry that big buck didn't step out, but there is always next year!! Maybe Scott will do some "Pruning" in there to get us some shooting lanes. Amanda

Welcome and thanks for posting your pics, that's always a great way to introduce yourself!! Amanda

They are Flickers (a type of woodpecker). Fairly common. The white rump patch and the colored mustache are pretty diagnostic. They spend a lot of time on lawns foraging as well as in trees. They have beautiful underwing colors (yours are probably red-shafted, but there are other ones like the gilded and yellow-shafted (yellows are mostly out East though) ) for more info: http://www.flickr.com/groups/btaphotoclass/ Amanda

Charliebee123 said his wife carved this pumpkin!! How cool is that? Happy Halloween to all!! Thanks for sending me the pic Charliebee123!

Awesome Doug!!! Amanda
