CouesWhitetail

Thanks for sharing your hunt with us!

Thanks for doing this! Good fun and someone won a prize

At first when I saw "April Tom" in the thread title I thought it was going to be a turkey! LOL! Great mtn lion, congratulations!

It is a jaw-dropping experience! Sorry my photos are not very good quality...camera does poorly in low light, but you get the idea! Make time to attend this event! It's well worth the drive!

I was able to check online....not drawn....

LOL!! good one!

I have no idea what you are talking about so I am not sure how to help you. ?? Maybe you can fwd the PM to me and I can figure out what you are referring to?

Thanks for posting....that is indeed interesting.

It's the one I use and I love it too! It does use batteries rather fast, so make sure you have extras with you.

LOL!! That was great Debbie!! Oh and TJ, Paul was impressed with your joke too!!

Let us know what AGFD finds out. that's pretty weird....I hadn't heard about the lichen thing either.

Hey Troy, It's truly unfortunate that your wife had an unpleasant experience on her hunt. However, if there is some sort of conflict on this hunt, t's best handled directly with Lance or the other people involved. Give him a call and maybe there can be some resolution for this. This kind of stuff never gets resolved in a public forum.

Nice spiny lizard! Like most lizards they do push-ups to show off their blue belly....fun to watch. I found a small regal horned lizard in my backyard today. We leave our ant hills alive so that the horned lizards can eat them. They just wait on an ant trail and pick them off. Lizards are pretty entertaining for sure!

No, I do not. I am hoping that we will be able to continue the Jim White line of products. This will take quite some time to work out. When I get more, I will let everyone know in the store and in the forum.

Kathi, Paying me is probably easiest. Who else wants to go? This is a fun banquet. My husband and I are going. 10 seats per table. And yes, please make sure Mark wears more sunscreen this year....that was painful last year!

LOL!!! Good one TJ!! that was fun!

I thought it would be fun to plot out all the places I have mailed stickers to. Matthew Young graciously donated his time writing code to pull the zip codes out of all the addresses I have mailed stickers to over the years. The locations are zipcode based rather than street address based, so they won't show your house exactly. This map of course doesn't include all the stickers I handed out but didn't have the address for. But this is a pretty good representation of the stickers. The ones in Europe and the middle east went to military personnel. And the one in the Congo represents Danny Howard since he moved out there and took some stickers with him. Each icon represents one household and many of the households have mutiple stickers but I only put one icon for them. If you see a place that isn't represented on the map that you know has a sticker, let me know and I can add it in. you can view the map in satellite mode or standard google map mode. And you can zoom in and out to see more or less detail. What do you think? http://batchgeo.com/map/079bf03ba328cbf87f614905790e4c5e

Happy Birthday Keven!

Hope you raise lots of $$$ for wildlife and have a great time!

I am so sorry you lost your dog, that's so very difficult. It sounds like she received lots of love in your family. Thanks for giving her a great life!
