HICAP, these pictures are awesome to say the least. Keep'em coming. You are very good at this and may I ask what set up you are using? I can't decide which one I like the best. They're are good. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Thanks for posting up some pictures Justin. Dillion & Jackson really cleaned up on the raffle tickets. Sounds like everyone had a good time. There's no doubt Lance and family hosted another great outing. The picture Amanda posted of the food looked awesome. TJ

Thanks for sharing. I'll have to give it a try. TJ

Congratulations Lance and a great story. No one ever mentioned you were a little crazy or just the bravest man in the world. Could you imagine being in that cave and the other bear coming in behind you? Wow! Thanks for sharing your hunt and story with us. It's one of the best I've read on here. TJ

Just put a 10 hr day in and couldn't wait to get home to see if anyone posted pictures of the outing yet. Peg and I are wanting to see some pictures so please post up what ya got. I'm sure everyone had a good time. Sorry we had to miss it. Pictures please! TJ

I received mine yesterday and have spent most of the morning reading the stories and thumbing thru the pages. I can't say enough good things about this Outdoorsman's Resource Guide. From the stories, pictures, and the ton of information is just amazing. Graig and Richelle, the work you two have done to publish and make available to the public at such a great price needs to be commended. Thank you both! I urge everyone to get their hands on this issue and you will see for yourself why this needs to be part of your travel gear. TJ

Thanks for sharing this information with us. It will come in handy when I draw my sheep tag this year. I just got the feeling! TJ ps....just like I had the feeling every other 30+ years.

What do you say Shelvin? You got the money and I'll carry your luggage. We can do this. TJ

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law. Our continuous prayers for your son and father-in-law. I'm glad to hear he is at Barrows. They are one of the best in the country. Barrows placed a titanium plate in my neck years ago after a hunting accident. You're in good hands. TJ

Got to agree with Shelvin. Great close up. TJ

Can't wait to see some pics of your trip. One of these days. TJ

Took me until now to figure this one. I know I'm a little slow but at least I figured it out. I bet some of you are scratching your heads.

Well, I guess I should have read the opening post a little better then I would have understood that they updated from restrictions to closure. There is a difference between restrictions and complete closure. Under restrictions your were still allowed to hunt even though shooting was prohibited. Closure means just that, stay out. I would follow the ruling and hope everyone else does as well. soazarcher.......yes, I'm new here and just got off the boat. TJ

How could anyone not be happy with this mount. It's awesome to say the least. Congratulations to the hunter and the taxidermist. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Could it be an old bee hive? Got me puzzled. TJ

Do you think if Julie was left in camp this would have happened? Then again you could not have left her behind. Thank god it all turned out alright. TJ

This has become one of my favorite post. I just love watching you guys go at it. This is some fun entertainment. I would like to say I hope UofA goes all the way. I would have said the same thing if ASU was in it. GO ARIZONA! TJ

Holy crap Amanda, I'm glad it happened when you weren't in there sleeping. Hope the bear didn't do much damage. Please be careful. We can't aford to loose you. TJ

I thought that a person who had a drawn hunt tag was ok to hunt doing the closure. Maybe I read it wrong. I see the concern they have but most hunters who have drawn just want to get in there and hunt. I agree with kidso. If I had a tag I would continue to hunt the unit but would be carefull where I parked and would not bring attention to what I was doing. Is that wrong? You tell me. Just saying! TJ

Continuous prayers for Allen, Bonnie, and Annie. May God comfort you all thru these trying times. TJ

That's ok. I know I have a bighorn tag coming that will make up for it. Good luck to you and Kathi on the hunt, TJ

I called Payson Ranger District today and they said all roads were closed north & south of the Control Rd. Does that mean you can't walk in? I didn't ask them this question. Does anyone know? TJ

Just found I was not drawn for goat. 3 bonus points here. Must be a sign I have a sheep tag for az. I can only wish! TJ

I would like to wish all you fathers a Happy Father's Day. How will you spend your Father's Day? Feel free to add pics or a tribute to your father here if you like. Peg and I are having my father over tonight for some grilled salmon. I have been very fortunate and blessed to have had a close relationship with my Dad. He brought me up hunting, fishing, and respecting the great outdoors. The memories we have made together will forever be etched in my mind. He has been my best friend along with being my best hunting & fishing partner. I could not have wished for a better father. Dad will turn 83 this year and I hope and pray I have many more memories to make along the way with him. I love you Dad and Happy Father's Day. Here are a few recent pics of Dad. Dad & I sharing a pheasant hunt Dad & Lexie dove hunting Dad's fish His last deer at age 80 Peg & I sharing a successful turkey hunt with Dad

I know alot of you are probably saying "another banquet?" There are alot of banquets and they all are for the good of our wildlife and I can't afford to attend them all either but this one, in my opinion, stands at the top of the pyramid and gets to my heart. OE4A offers outdoor experiences to young people diagnosed with life threatening illnesses, children of fallen heroes, and children with disabilities. Without the generous support of donors and volunteers this organization would not exist. Their banquets are a major fundraiser towards their mission. If you got the time to come out for a fun night of food and drinks I promise you will go home feeling good about the support you provided for these kids.
