BIG thank you to all veterans (and their families in many cases) for your service and sacrifice! 🙏 Dad getting ready to crawl up into the belly of his B-17, circa summer of 44'. My hero.

The 'original' and OUTSTANDING quality!

Super cool to see coveys of Mearns! Be sure not to start shooting at them until December 1st, though.

Sounds right, but..... Have him try these guys: 602-942-3000. Not trying to be a smart butt, just really think he should get it right from the department as opposed to from this crowd. (No offence, folks! lol)

Yup..... Like clockwork, another great family post from Elkhunter! 🙄😂 LOVE IT, Tyler!!! S.

Raised running-gunning quail in the washes around Kearny. There might have been a couple killed on the ground. Used my departed dad's old 20 gauge Remington semi-auto with a fixed improved cylinder. Love that little gun for the opening weekend when the quail aren't shy and the flushes are close.

We shot easy limits of Gambels on opening weekend in our usual spot(s). Predictable given the strong precipitation last winter/spring. Like clockwork...

Stretched out on my cot in 36C looking up at the stars and moon at this very moment. Freaking beautiful evening out here. Been here since Tuesday. As always, BP is running around but I haven’t spotted any crossers yet. Good luck to all of the early hunters! 👊🏼

Mekong over on SW corner (roughly) of Dobson & Main. Edit: Not sure if you've ever had quail eggs or not but honestly, to me they didn't seem that special at all. Basically tasted like any other egg, to me. Though for presentation in the dish, I guess it was good that they were small.

Actually not that hard. Just like peeling a normal egg, only smaller.

Killed a bunch of quail on opening weekend and ended-up trying something new. (As expected, an outstanding Gambels year based on last winter/spring precipitation. Limits. ) Anyway, my GF is Filipina and suggested some of them get cooked-up Adobo style. Ended-up as a pretty good dish. Nice alternative to my usual grilling. One thing that was a little strange was that she went to the Asian market and picked-up some quail eggs to hard-boil and add. Typical Filipino dish with NO greens! LOL No serving pics but was basically served over white rice, just like All Filipino dishes. Final product F

I'll be there, too. For anyone who wants to see this game, those are some great seats! Good luck with the sale @BlairHunter!!

Turkey for son and I.

Pronghorn sliders on Sunday. Home ground with 15% beef fat. Tried them ‘White Castle’ style by smashing them on top of diced onions on the cast iron skillet. Pretty freaking good. 😉 (Was almost done with my last one when I thought to take a pic… LOL)

BIG heck YES!!!! Very awesome, Kevin!!

For no good reason, I haven't done it in years but I LOVE flathead fishing!!! Grew-up in Kearny and hitting the upper end (Salt) of Roosevelt was an annual tradition in the old days. Gotta make it a point to get out next spring/summer!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!! All the better when shared with additional family! S.

SO AWESOME!!!! Always enjoy your posts, Tyler, which are virtually ALWAYS family oriented. Love it!

Haven't been to this location, but visited the SLC last year and they seemed to have a fairly decent selection of backpacking gear. Not quite 'REI level', but still plenty of stuff.

Congrats on a great hunt! I went on my first pronghorn hunt about 6 years ago (also in New Mexico), and I've been hooked ever since! Hooked both on the hunting AND the table fare. Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

VERY AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

+1 on folks not knowing where the money comes from. I think the majority of folks not only don't realize where the money comes from, but they don't care. In my extended family, I'm basically the only one who hunts (plus my kids). My siblings and other extended family members aren't antis or haters, they are just completely apathetic regarding the topic of hunting & fishing. Looks like money is ALL OVER the Hobb's proclamation. No surprise.... Arizona-Hunting-and-Fishing-Day-Proclamation-2023.pdf (amazonaws.com)

Pronghorn sirloin, rare. Added a baked potato with copious amounts of butter and sour cream to my usual side of grilled broccolini. (Sort of in a rut with the broccolini….)

Friends and a great hunt! AWESOME!!!

Hey Crazymonkey! Are you associated with a group (Like AES, YOU, AZ Deer, etc.). You likely mentioned it before, but I don’t recall. Being associated with one of the local groups can be good or not, depending…. LOL Just curious.
