    group size

    I can relate to your shooting situation. Two weeks ago I went to the shoot at Willard Springs and was encouraged by how well I shot, and had a great time. This last weekend went to Clints Well and shot terrible...still had a good time though. I still dont know what exactly I was doing wrong, but shot great again last night at the house. I have to think that you will have good shooting days and poor shooting days. Just like athletes, in baseball a hitter can have 4 hits one day, then not have another hit for a week. As a basketball player I certainly had good days and bad days and it can be frustrating. I also agree with AZ P & Y, try going to the range and shooting, it could really help. And for what its worth, putting 3 arrows into a one inch pattern can be detrimental to the fullness of your quiver.... twoguns

    Clints Well shoot

    We had a great time shooting on saturday, even though it snowed/hailed/sleeted and rained on us most of the time. Good practice for those monsoon months when the weather can be unpredictable. Cool pics Josh, your son and mine have at least on thing in common...love those free 3-d rides.
  6. Got this in an email. Pretty amazing picture for sure. Makes me want to get my trail cams out asap. Heard it was in Montana somewhere.

    Microwaving Water

    I saw the Mythbusters look into this phenomenon on one of their shows. They built a super microwave that boiled a cup of water in like 20 seconds or something like that, so that they could heat the water really quickly. If I remember right, the water always boiled if it was tap water, but if you use bottled water or purified water, it might not boil, and then can explode. What they said was that water has to have impurities to boil, and that purified water wont boil until something is added to it, like a powder or tea bag or instant coffee, and then can explode. I dont know if they were right, but that is what they found....if my memory is working tonight. twoguns

    3D Shoot May 17&18 in Flagstaff

    Doug, I had a great time shooting this weekend. I did not realize that was you there at the smoker course. My buddy and I drove up early sunday morning, and shot that course around noon. We paid at the registration table as your chair was empty...but I think you came by while we were shooting. For my first 3-d shoot I had a great time. I think we will be up at clints well this weekend, wife and Lord willing. Darren

  14. Like so many others posting things to pass the time during the off season, I figured why not post this. My brother and I took my son fishing last night down along the verde river south of Camp Verde, and had a great time. In a few hours we caught quite a few fish and had a great time. We caught several flathead cats and a bunch of "mystery fish." I only call them that because we had no idea what they were, and had never even seen one before. I hope I am not the only person in Arizona that doesnt know what this fish is. So, last night when I got home I did what we all do, got online and did a little research. I now believe I know what this fish is, but I figured I would see how many others out there might or might not know what it is. Here is a pic of one of the cats we caught. Here is the mystery fish. I cant wait to find out how many of you all know what this is....and I mean without looking them up. This one was about 14 inches long, and they were all caught on worms. twoguns

    Verde fishing trip

    Mr. Smith has it right...IMO I guess. I believe that these are indeed Colorado Pikeminnows. I learned a lot about them last night after I figured out that is what they are. And several of you were right, that we should have put them back, because they are on the endangered list and it is illegal to have them in your posession. I thought at first they might have been a chub also, but they are not. Here is some information that I found interesting. Amazingly, the Colorado Pikeminnow can get up to 6 feet and weigh up to 80 pounds!! (Where were those last night... ) Endangered Colorado River basin fish Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius) The Colorado pikeminnow (formerly Colorado squawfish) is a torpedo-shaped fish with an olive-green and gold back, silver sides and white belly. These fish spawn between late June and early September and when they are 5-6 years old and at least 16 inches long. Similar to salmon, Colorado pikeminnow can migrate more than 200 miles to spawn. The largest minnow in North America and one of the largest in the world, the Colorado pikeminnow at one time may have lived 50 or more years, growing to nearly 6 feet long and weights of up to 80 pounds. In the last 30 years, the largest Colorado pikeminnow found in the upper Colorado River basin was nearly 38 inches long and weighed about 25 pounds. The Colorado pikeminnow was called "white salmon" and "Colorado salmon" by early settlers, who valued it for food and as a sport-fish. It was the Colorado River's top predator in the early 1900s and has been known to take anglers' bait in the form of mice, birds and even small rabbits, despite that its only "teeth" are found on a bony, circular structure located deep within its throat. This fish also readily strikes lures and live bait used to catch catfish and northern pike. Some people may have heard about other species of pikeminnow that are plentiful in other parts of the country. However, these other pikeminnow are different species of fish and are not endangered. Status and distribution: Listed as endangered by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1967; given full protection under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Listed as endangered under Colorado law since 1976; downlisted to threatened in 1998. Protected under Utah law since 1973. Colorado pikeminnow were once abundant in the main stem of the Colorado River and most of its major tributaries in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California and Mexico. Now, they exist primarily in the Green River below the confluence with the Yampa River, the lower Duchesne River in Utah, the Yampa River below Craig, Colo., the White River from Taylor Draw Dam near Rangely downstream to the confluence with the Green River, the Gunnison River in Colorado, and the Colorado River from Palisade, Colo., downstream to Lake Powell. Biologists believe Colorado pikeminnow populations in the upper Colorado River basin are now relatively stable and in some areas may even be growing. In the Green River, for example, research indicates Colorado pikeminnow populations may be on the rise. Biologists believe this may be occurring because of changes made in how Flaming Gorge Dam now is being operated. Recovery strategies: The primary strategies being used to recover this fish species are to maintain more natural river flow patterns by releasing more water from dams in the spring, stabilize flows in late summer for young fish, ensure that stocking of non-native fish does not conflict with endangered fish recovery and build passageways and "ladders" around certain dams and barriers to allow endangered fish to migrate up and down the river. Recovery goals: Colorado pikeminnow will be considered eligible to be reclassified from federally endangered to threatened when naturally self-sustaining populations are being maintained in the following areas: The Green River from its confluence with the Colorado River to its confluence with the Yampa River, the lower 137 miles of the Yampa River, and the lower 150 miles of the White River. The Colorado River from Palisade, Colo., to Lake Powell. The San Juan River from Lake Powell upstream to the confluence of the Animas River.

    Disgraceful

    One more good example of how the media in this country have no respect for the patriotic history of our country. They seem to live for nothing but pushing their agenda on everyone else, with no regard to right or wrong. We should all write in to liberal time magazine and let them no it is not appreciated.

    Raccoons in the yard

    Raccoons in the yard

    Yesterday morning I woke up to the sound of my dogs barking, and looking out in the back yard, my two rottweilers were circling under some trees. During the night they had treed two raccoons and were not happy that the coons had invaded their territory. Maybe Rotts could be made into hunting dogs after all??? I went out and took some cool pics of the mom and baby coon. Pretty cool to se them so close. Anyway, here are the pics I took. And here is a pic of my dog, Boomer, keeping watch under the tree. Boy, was he grumpy. twoguns

    What to do in Maine?

    I agree with Bill, the L. L. Bean store is kinda cool. I also thought that Portland Headlight was very worth visiting, as well as other light houses on the coast. It really is a beautiful place to visit. darren
