I'm not sure how I missed this thread. I could write a book , and maybe I will, on the mistakes and misses I've gone thru over the years of hunting here in Az. Many come to mind but one real quick one is how excited I use to get on opening morning. I had gone thru my pack the night before opening of another archery bull hunt and just knew I had forgotten something to the point I made myself sick. After dry heaves I was on my way. I parked 1/2 mile from the tree stand and was in it way before daylight. I looked everywhere for my release and could not find it. I'm thinking I must have left it in the truck because I have gone all thru my pack several times and it still isn't in there. I climb down and head for the truck. After going all thru the truck I decide it has to be in my pack because I remember having it the night before. Now I've walked 1&1/2 miles back and forth and now it's daylight by the time I get back and climb up in my stand for the second time and desperately go thru the pack for the 5th or 6th time. No release! I'm sick to my stomach and reach into my pocket to get my head net out and there is my release. What a total stupid dumb a$$. TJ

Sorry for ya loss. Thoughts and prayers for ya. TJ

Apache has always been my favorite lake. Thanks for sharing Brian. I hope to get there soon. TJ

Lark, you crack me up. You should have got one of those no flash types. Can you share any pictures? TJ

I haven't seen any pictures of Cabela lately. How is she doing? I few pics would make me happy. TJ

twigsnapper, welcome to the site. Them are some awesome pics of rugby. Was he your best man at the wedding? Thanks for sharing the pics with us. Rugby sounds like a great dog to have along side ya. TJ

Stanley, I was afraid to ask but was wondering if you where camped up there and something went wrong. You know I'm just kidding Stanley. I could think of better things to have my name associated with as well. I hope they get the upper hand on this before it gets any bigger. It scares me to think the summer has just begun and we have lost so much. When is your next lion adventure Stan? Hope to see ya at the OE4A banquet. TJ

Casey, that is a good looking mount Scottyboy did. Congratulations on your success in Africa and having a friend do your mounts is awersome. Thanks for sharing and pass on to the caveman the next time you see him I said his work is great. TJ

I pray that these rains come quick. We don't need to loose any more forest that I think could have been prevented by the forest circus. TJ

Congratulations on a great goat. Way to stick with it. Thanks for sharing. TJ

These might be among the ones I will be hunting after I receive my tag. Which Lake? Thanks for scouting for me. TJ

There's no doubt them there fish were fun to catch for sure. What piece of water were y'all fishen? Thanks for sharing. TJ

That is really weird Tony. Peg freaked out and I didn't even get the munchies. lol TJ

Thoughts and prayers for those in the path of another fire. TJ

That had to be a blast. Let me know if you need more taken care of. My lab could use the training while we wait on dove season to roll around. Thanks Dave for sharing. TJ

It breaks my heart to see so much forest go up in smoke. It will take a lifetime and then some for us to see if it will ever recover. So sad for us but the next generation will profit from this. The forest service we have now has alot to improve when it comes to management the forest we we we we we we own. Dam they piss me off. TJ

That was an awesome bull. Great video! TJ

Showed this to the wife tonight and she is going to give it a try. She got some squash from a friends garden and it's a go for sure. Thanks again for sharing. TJ

Congratulations on a beautiful lion. I like the mount. That is no small coues your wife shot. Congratulations to her as well. TJ

Not a traditional archer but just wanted to welcome you to the site. I'm sure there are a few. One of our members makes his own bow & arrows but can't for the life of me remember his name. He's fron San Carlos. Welcome! TJ

Buy a double bull blind, it attracts them. TJ

Don't know when I've seen a prettier antelope. Beautifull Doug and thanks for sharing. Make sure you take some pics when the snow starts flying on him. lol TJ

Them are great photos you have taken of Rica. It shows the love you two have for each other. I have got to get more pics of Lexie. Thanks for sharing Rica and your pics Doug. We're glad to have you here on cwt. You're a great asset to this site for sure. TJ

You did a good job of explaining along with the awesome pictures. I sure could go for some of that about now. I actually think I can smell it thru this computer. Great job! TJ
