SOOOOOO AWESOME!!!! Lord, they grow-up quick. I miss those days with my little tots.... Thanks for sharing! S.

LOL on the 'out running...' comment! Seriously though, if you're doing some serious glassing during your hunt there is a small chance that you will see a lion. Might want to be prepared with an OTC tag in your pocket! S.

+1 on the mesquite! Prime BBQ/grill wood! VERY unlikely you will find any/much water in any of the creek beds. NP using radios here in AZ, as far as I know. We use them all the time, and have had G&F officers in our camp and utilizing them as well. Shouldn't be a problem. Awesome that you and your crew are taking-on this adventure! Lots of good folks here to give you advice. Good luck! S.

Forest closed this morning-rather stealthily done
stanley replied to biglakejake's topic in The Campfire
Saw 'red flag warnings' for much of Northern AZ this morning on the weather report while I was getting ready for work. I thought about the fire danger, but didn't think of the dead trees. Looks like they're worried extra worried about folks getting injured by a falling tree and the liabilitiy that could/would go with it. Bummer S. -
Been years since I've been up there. A shame it is closed-off now. The good ol' days..... S.

Glad you guys had some luck at Bartlett! Regarding the deep holes vs. shallow waters, I've had luck either way (depending on the day/time/etc..). I've caught big flatheads in the Bartlett Flats area in the past, generally at night. Seems like sometimes the big cats will come into the shallows to chase shad/bluegills. Regarding up-stream access, there was a road we used to take that would head down a wash to the Verde and it would put us on the river just a few hundred yards from where the lake starts (depending on water level of the lake....). Do a Google Earch search, and you might be able to find it. We would night fish that spot sometimes and had some luck. S.

Kids and I do an annual fishing/camping trip to Southern Utah. We did the Boulder Mt. area a couple of years and had a blast. Amazing country up there. This pic makes me want to go back! Thanks for sharing! S.

What an absolute BRUTE! Kudos to your friend Bret, for a great job! S.

Killing time under cover, while waiting out a thunder storm in Utah.....

Red Dogs chillin...... I think this was archery elk hunting a few years ago.

Warming-up around the fire up on the Kiabab last fall.....

Nice pics!!!! Around a mesquite fire at a Junior deer camp a couple of years ago. Remember that one, Carlos?

Yep, loading-up trucks of copper and hauling them away from ASARCO for sale. To the tune of $10MM! I went to high school in Kearny with a guy named Joe Arbizu. Not sure if it's the same one.... S.

VERY awesome!!!!! Some day I'll go on another lion hunt! I've only got a small taste (one day.....), but it was an amazing hunting experience! Thanks for sharing! S.
-
My gosh! There is a big ol' muley buck under almost every bush up there!!! S.
-
Yep, those guys had quite a little racket going..... Regarding China/India, they have definitely been buying a lot more in recent years, but not necessarily 'most'. S.

Awesome Josh!! What a beautiful bull and mount! How about a field pic too?? S. PS: That does NOT look like a hunting show on the flatscreen!
-
VERY awesome post! Each one of the pictures are great in several ways! Love that 'chaise-lounge' and old-school Coleman lantern in the first pic! Baby in the tub speaks for it's self! Then of course, the kids taking part in endless hours of target shooting is GREAT! As soon as I find time, I'll jump-in with a couple of pics of my own..... Thanks for sharing! S.

Awesome! S.

Eberlestock X3 review by Santana Outdoors
stanley replied to Santana Outdoors's topic in Other Hunting Gear
Nice job on the review. I'm a big fan of Eberlestock packs, and own the X1A1 plus one of the J34s (Just One). I like the looks of that wider scabard on the X3. Thanks for sharing! S.- 2 replies

I've had luck with Kastmasters on the beach along Las Conchas. I would wade-out as far as I could at the lowest-tide, then wade/fish (waste-deep water or more) casting Kastmasters as far out as I could as the tide slowly came-in. I was using 6lb test and a pretty good sized Kastmaster on an open/spinning reel so I could get them WAY out there! When the fishing was hot I would get a nice one on (Corvina, Trigger, etc...) on almost every cast. Lots of fun! Good luck! S. PS: Watch-out for the Stingrays. One of them nailed me on the ankle and I paid dearly for it.....

Two words come to mind: Cool and YUM!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Just digging into work this morning, and a reminder popped-up in my Outlook calendar that said "post a reminder to TJ so there is no repeat of last year"! I put it on my calendar about a year ago based on a thread you posted. Seems to me that you forgot a VERY special occasion last year, so here is a friendly reminder! S.

You're GOOD folks TJ & Peg!!! Sincere congrats and happy wishes to you both! S.
