Glad someone finally brought this subject up. Where I've been dove hunting there are hundreds if not thousands of shotgun shells on the ground and it just make me sick to think anyone could think it is alright not to pick them up. I personally try and pick everyone of mine up. I don't always because of chasing a down bird but I make up for it by picking up empties while I'm waiting on birds. I usually have a bag full at the end of the day and wished more bird hunters would do the same. Sorry to get carried away and changing the message of the post. TJ

Now them are some great looking bucks and a big congratulations to the both of you. Putting the smack on them with a bow had to be an awesome feeling for you both. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Lark, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year back atcha. I wish you and all your family a Save and Happy Holidays and especially to your Granddaughter for what she has been thru. She has been in my prayers ever since you first posted about her condition. I'm so glad she is doing so much better. Your post have always been one of my favorites to read and I can understand your language cuss we think alike. lol Them nova scotia people are in for a treat when you arrive. I'm sure you will be the talk of the country by the time you get'em all thinkin your way. Have a safe trip and God Bless your family. TJ

I'm very late replying to this post and can't hardly believe the size of those bucks everyone in this post shot. My congratulations to each and great stories from you all. I have never seen a buck of these size in my lifetime. All I can say is WOW and why haven't I been hunting archery bucks up there in the past. Awesome and thanks for posting.

Thank God I finally got someone to do my dirty work for me. Here's last night with jackshoe. The shooting was unbelievable. A little rainy but awesome bird action.

Just wanted to share with you all the progress Lexie has made thru this year. I haven't spent the time I would have like due to the deer and elk scouting /hunting but I am pleased to say I have the start of what might become a good bird dog. Weather or not that happens she will always be my new best friend and I can't remember when I have ever had so much fun sharing her company. I have several people to thanks for the pm's and all the good advise towards her training and most of all to Ted Bounds ( aka jackshoe ) for all his advise and helping me to gun break her. Here are a few pictures during her training. 5 weeks retrieving ball. First fishing trip to Roosavelt around the camp fire. Lexie's first turkey hunt. 0002.jpg]Saguaro Lake 20 weeks Training last month on pigeons with the help of Ted Bounds. Plumb wore out. After a few hours of training last month first real bird was a pigeon last month First dove/pigeon traing. Lexie showing off her first pigeon as a cwt. dog member Lexie's first real dove hunt and first bird a few days ago. Today! Lexie dragging sticks out of the water between birds Today! Lexie's second dove hunt and she retrieved all the birds. Should have had our limit but my shooting sucks. I can't wait til we get out again. Sorry for all the pics of Lexie. Can you tell I love this dog? TJ

Great picture of you and Reba Ted. Looks like a great day you all had. Hopefully one of these days we can get Lexie out with Reba and Delbert. Not sure how Lexie will do on quail since she doesn't point. Thanks for sharing and thanks for all your help in training Lexie. TJ

Great looking buck and congratulations on your hunt. TJ

Congratulations to Armando on a fine looking buck. What a start to many more hunts to come. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Congratulations on your family success. Great story from your son and the pictures are even more greater. Is greater a word? lol Oh well, thanks for sharing and it looks like you got some awesome hunting partners for life. Nothing like family hunting together. TJ

Casey, I had Lexie fixed but now wished I had waited. Be safe and thanks for the protection you provide for us all. Congrats again on your dedicated deer hunt for ya Grandma. TJ

Tony, I sent you a pm a couple days ago did you get it? Lexie says hi back to Sasha.

Hope this day is a good one and Happy Birthday. TJ

Casey, you bet Grandma is proud of you and what a nice thing to do in her honor. I'm so sorry for your loss. There is no doubt Grandma is looking down with a big old smile telling everyone around her "That's my Grandson". Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a happy and safe holiday with friends and family. TJ

Great pics and thanks for sharing. TJ

Awesome ram and congratulations on a trophy of a live time. I too hope to be part of my own sheep hunt someday. I will be helping out on a sheep hunt tomorrow and hope the tag holder scores while I'm there. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Congratulations on a nice bull. You certainly earned that one. Thanks for sharing and it's a pleasure to know there are still alot of hard hunters who take it to the extreme. Great write up as well. TJ

This is not how I would have wanted my day to start by opening up cwt.com and find this. What terrible news. Peg and I will pray for the loss off Garret. May God be with his family and friends through this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. TJ

You bet that is going to break the 100" mark. Congratulations on your huge buck. Sorry to hear about your wife's dog and I hope your Dad starts feeling better soon. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Nothing like hunting with family. Congratulations to all of you and thanks for sharing great pictures. Beautiful bucks and your bull. TJ

Thanks Amanda for the reminder. It's so easy to forget when you're not a vet. Thanks to all that have served, given their lives, and thoughts and prayers for all the men and women who serve us today around the world. Thank You! TJ
