NOTAGS

Last of the elk steaks, seared on the Traeger and diced and added to the griddle mix for barrio tacos . I sweated out a six pack cooking them in this soup.

Are they still your friends after you shot them?

No rain other than enough to make the dust on my truck spot in Peoria at my place, but the wind blasted in my RV gate, which opens outwards, and bent the crappolium out of the frame and hinges. An hour and half later, got it closed, but I think this was an omen that its time to put the rolling gate I've always wanted in. Patio furniture was in the pool, no trees down. Need rain!

Thanks for that info! I have custom orthotics in my daily wear boots due to developing Plantar fasciitis, which sucks. And they were a butt ton more than $54.99. I will have to try them out.

Pulled the trigger. Looking forward to their arrival, 3 hunts in line this year. My old dogs need all the help they can get. I will update on arch support once I get them.

What is the super foot green?

To those of you have the Schnees, do they have good arch support? I have totally flat feet.

I think you just cost me $321.... looking real hard at the Timberlines, I've always wanted some really good boots, but couldnt commit to 4x the price of what I've been dragging around .... 30% off is the nudge I needed.

Why did you dock the tails on a hound?

Used to be a fantastic Mexican restaurant there, but that was almost 40 years ago…. So, you’re most likely spot on..

I just get a kick when the hunter looks like he should be singing “ Follow the Yellow Brick Road” in comparison to the animals rack. My nephew did a stint with A3 while he was in college, apparently he studied their photography. He and his dad both killed 375 bulls last year , honest measurements within 2” of each other. His photos made me think his was north of 400 when I saw it. I was amazed to see both racks and find out how close they were , cause the photo posing can obviously make a huge difference on appearance. As stated originally, it’s a great bull, I was not detracting from that in the least.

love the fisheye camera lens, standard A3 photography. A great bull in spite of the distortion

Are you satisfied with the GPS functions on the Iphone14? I am borderline due for a new phone, and have an older 11, but lose coverage for Xmaps etc. here and there. I like the idea of having the GPS in the phone , and not needing the Garmin.

I heard crickets when I asked about rain here in the valley…..

You bake more pies than Marie Calender! I still hit up my 90 YO Ma for deserts. My wife doesn’t bake, and I was banned from baking during the great Empenada crust incident of 2018. Our kitchen looked like an 80’s hair band had a cocaine party. Me and flour are not friends

How bad was the kayak trash?

I can remember getting multiple tags because they couldn’t give the second hunt WT tags away. You were allowed to kill two deer a year. Seems like a lifetime ago. I guess it was looking back….pushing 40 years gone by.

On a side note, I have no finished product pics, cause my 90 YO mom and her friend from the senior living kept grabbing meat as fast-as I could slice it and eating with their hands like a couple starving savages. It was actually comical ,except I was afraid I was fixing to take one of her friends fingers off.

After smoking for 14 hours whole, I separated the flat, and wrapped it and the point separate. With 12 plus hour smokes, my cooking time is short, the flat hit temp in around3 hours at 225. That tree trunk took forever, another three to get to 203 after turning up the heat. Turned out excellent. Made a sauce that HuntHarder turned me on to, and it was game on. I donr think I will go for such a biggun again. 17-20 lbs seems to my sweet spot, and much easier to manage at all steps.

So,be careful what you ask for…I strutted up to the meat counter at Fry’s the first day of their last sale on brisket and said” give me your biggest brisket!” Smooth…,when the butcher dropped the slab of meat, I was concerned for his health as he was elderly. There was no backing down at that point. 26.5 lbs going to smoke for 12_14 hours tonite. Was not sure it would fit,on the Traeger.

Looked online yesterday, river temps are averaging 60. Significantly lower than last year at this time. Fill baby, fill!

I’ve used State a couple times. They’re not the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive, and they do good work. I finally had them put an in-line shut off valve so I can run it dry for storage….keeps the carb from getting gunked up.

So, if you dry swallow is that a tightey whitey?

Go do a baby reveal right next to what’s left of our border wall and pray for a southern wind. Send the migrants running south
