Thoughts and prayers for family and friends. I never met Steve but it sounds like a person who was liked by many. May he rest in peace. TJ

I can't believe you guys were running from that bear. I would have jumped him and finished him off with my knive. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Congrats and thank for sharing. TJ

I've seen the pictures and they are great looking antelopes along with a huge mule deel. If I knew how to post the pictures I would but just don't have the lernin in me. TJ

It was a long read but well worth it. Congratulations on all the bulls and thanks for sharing your hunt with us. My friend shot his first bull and I told him to come get me before he tracked it since he was within 10 minutes of me. He came and told me he thought he could see it down and I then told him to get back to the spot before someone steals it. He said, "someone would do that". I headed for camp to get my elk hauling buggy and when I got back to him two guys were standing over his bull and had gutted it. They took off and it all worked out. You are right, there are some low life scum bags out there. TJ

Thanks for sharing Steven. It looks like another year of happy hunters and some fine trophies to make it a great year. Congratulations to the hunters and kuddos to you and your staff. TJ

TJ, There is a best field photo section that can be a cow or a bull, and there is also a best spirit of the hunt section that you didn't even have to kill an elk to enter. So yes you can enter your cow elk or even if you didn't tag an elk you can still send pic's for the spirit of the hunt section. Good luck to all!!! Thanks TAM, I will keep that in mind as my hunt developes. TJ

I'm in! There seems like there are enough of us close by to have a great get=to=gether. Surely someone has a place big enough that can handle a few roudy cwt members. Maybe we can roast bobbyo for kicks and giggles. Just sayin! TJ

I take it there is no cow elk contest that we'd udder hunt? TJ

It's a start! lol TJ

Everyone's reconmendations are right. It's all good. I use mostly beef suet, fat, with my elk but have used pork before. The ratio is your personal preference. I personally found that we like 25% suet added to elk and deer for hamburg and 50/50 pork butt or whatever is on sale for javelina. It's getting that time of year again so good luck to everyone on your hunts. TJ

Definitely one of the better videos I've seen. Congratulations again on Stevi's success and kuddos to everyone who helped. TJ

Congratulations on your Dad's buck. That had to be a great feeling to be able to share it with him. Thanks for sharing and great pics. TJ

Congratulations Stevi on a great looking bull. I particularly like the pink rifle. Thanks for sharing the story and family hunting together is way to awesome. TJ

I first saw this bull texted to me on the way to unit 27 on wednesday. I was having a hard time consentrating on driving when I got the text. I finally got caught up in some traffic and had to stop and pulled it back up again. Wow, is all I could say. Congratulations Josh on a huge bull and thanks for sharing it with us here on cwt. TJ

As I sit here drinking my first cup of coffee I turn on cwt and immediately click on your post Coach. You start out saying how it was going to be a long read and I sometimes fast forward thru not reading every word but this was so well written it was like reading a story out of Field & Stream. No, it was better! I felt myself being pulled in and being right there with you. I go pour my second cup of coffee and continue to enjoy the read until I read "not a bull I felt I could come onto an internet forum and show off". If I had been reading this in a magizine, I would have closed the book and thrown it across the room. I'm sure glad I didn't because I get to the part about what your wife had to say and the story pulls me even farther in. I just want to say that this is the best story I have ever read here on cwt and better than any magizine could have done. I feel you were so intent on a huge bull that you lost sight of anything else. I give alot of credit to your wife, your friend, and especially you for turning it around with a classic ending. Congratulations on your thick horned bull and for sharing an awesome story I will soon not forget. TJ

At 4am I was tucked deep inside my sleeping bag sleeping under the stars. I wasn't able to help with any hunting due to the knee. Probably some other good looking guy that looked like me. TJ

I'll let Amanda comment on her own story. I spent the last few days with her in camp and all I'm going to say is she hunts harder than any other hunter, man or woman, I've ever known. TJ

Congratulations on your trophy Sam. The story was great and the picture is a perfect ending to a most enjoyable story. Thank you for sharing your hunt with us. TJ

That was a great piece of video Eric. Thanks for sharing that with us. I am going to try the swacker on my archery cow hunt this year. Said I would never go back to mechanicals but I have changed my mind once again. Congratulations on your bear. TJ

She's a sweatheart for sure. Beautiful little thing. Thanks for the pictures. That won't be the last thing she chews up of yours. lol TJ

I was just telling my wife about this post and she is going to try these up. Thanks again for postin. My wife has decided that deer meat wasn't for her but just maybe this recipe will chance her mind. I'll let you know.

If I lived out of town I would have more dogs than know what to do with. Lexie does need a playmate for sure but.......... TJ
