Thanks for sharing. It's good to see the cam pics coming in this year. That is one tall forky for sure. TJ

Thank you Cliff for sharing your hunt with us. You have done what so many have dreamed about their whole lives. I doubt very serviously I ever make it over there but I love looking at pictures of those who have. TJ

It's always nice to see someone working towards raising money to help out with the cost of running this site. Thanks azmetalman for a reminder and Chef your statement about Amanda is so true. I know there are members you won't see on this post that have stepped up to the plate and will continue to support Amanda thru other means and they are to be commended for their continuous support. Another way of giving back is donating a % of your sales from the classifieds no matter how much and placing them stickers on your vehicles is another way of advertising to draw others to the site. I know I will continue to support Amanda whenever I can because this site has brought so much joy and entertainment at an amazing cost. FREE! Thank you Amanda for your continuous support for us. TJ

I hope your recovery of your right knee joint replacement goes well Lark. Wishing you a speedy recovery and my best towards your therapy sessions. I started my today but yours will be much more intence. Lark, do you think our knees had anything to with our alien abductions? TJ

Happy Birthday Jeff. Hope you got to do something exciting like going out and looking at some critters. TJ

Holy crap! If I had a tag I would be hiring Lance for sure. TJ

Ram, I was just in your train of thought the other day while walking thru Bass Pro. I was looking at all their packs and wondering if I could get away with a much cheaper pack that would get me by. Tines said it about as good as it gets. You usually will forget about the price later on and be glad you bought a better product. If you expect to do alot of packing and spend alot of time in the field then take his advise. However, if you don't spend the time afield as he does then you probably could get away with a less expensive pack. I have gone thru many cheap packs over the years and mostly zipper problems. I use to do alot of packing but now at my age and not keeping my body up to par it wouldn't benifit me to sink the top dollar they are asking for some of these packs. I have a cabelas freight frame I use for packing meat but wanted to get a back pack that would carry my rifle or bow. Getting back to the Bass Pro shop. After trying on most of their products that I really didn't want to drop the cash on I found a Crook Horn Outfitters Trail II pack on clearence. I tried it on and it fit nice and I liked all the features especially the bow/gun carrier. It even folds up to be used as a hip pack. I can see me using this pac on my day hunts as well freeing up my hands for glassing. They were marked down to 89 dollars from 130. They had 2 left last week. Good luck with your decision. TJ

This will be interesting. I actually never gave it a thought before now. I quit mounting things many years ago due to the high prices. I'm not saying the taxidermist don't deserve these new prices because of cost increase and their ability to do outstanding work. I just can't afford them anymore. I'm looking forward to see what others have to say about tipping. Good topic! TJ

lmao..........is Chrystie alright? The things that poor girl had to have gone through during your insanity. TJ

Congratulations to your Dad, Rick, on a beautiful bird. Taking it with a bow just makes it that much sweeter. When do we get to see the video? Thanks for sharing Eric. TJ

Sorry to hear about your knee surgery. I had a partial meniscuss removal tue on the right knee and that's like putting a band-aid on a knee compared to what you had done Lark. I wish you a speedy recovery and keep us informed on your condition. TJ

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Surgury went well tues, at least that's what they told me, and I start therapy today on the knee. The worse part so far was being without cwt discussion forum until today. Now that hurt! TJ

This was worse than waiting for the draw to come out. The first thing I thought, I'm banned for drinking to much beer at the OE4A Banquet and my wife said maybe so. It was the worse feeling I've ever had. Threw out all my beer and now I find out it was world wide. Now where did I throw all those beers. lol On a more serious note I had Peg call my doctor to perscribe a perscription for prozac and it didn't help one bit. As I sit here my breathing is coming around and I can pick up a cup of coffee without spilling it now. It's going to be a great day. THANK YOU Amanda! TJ

Great story Bill and thanks for sharing. I do remember now after reading your book that picture taking was out of the question. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Very nice. Congratulations and thanks for posting Amanda. TJ

Thanks Dale but I'm going to pass this time around. This is a good price and hope you do well. TJ

pm sent. TJ

I'll check with wife in the morning. TJ

Looks like a nice buck. Good luck with the hunt. TJ

Nice spread on that young buck. Thanks for sharing. TJ

The Apaches on the White River Indian Reservation have a youth raghorn hunt for 10-16yrs for $5.00 Anything with 4x4 and smaller. I say a spike is a spike and then anything smaller than a 5x5 is a raghorn. I like eating raghorns. TJ

Congratulations Bill. At our age score doesn't matter any more or never really did for that matter. You just made my day and hope you have some pictures and a story to share with us. Happy early Birthday. Now that's what I call a big birthday present. TJ ps....my hats off to Bullwedgeon's uncles and grandfather for helping out Bill. Way to go guys. Wish I could have been there.

Brent, I asked in your other post to send more trout pics and that was fast. lol TJ
