I just had Peg read this and we hope everything is going to be ok. Believe me when I say I feel your pain. It's going to get better and we wish you a faster recovery than you're having. Thoughts and prayers until you recover. Tj & PJ

I would suggest to you newbie that you go out and learn about Coues deer habits for yourself instead of reading about them. Did you know the rains are here and the acorns have dropped , I have watched bucks in the past three weeks move more than three miles to get to the fresh new growth and acorns. I am curious as to what you might be implying? +1 TJ

It might not be the biggest bear shot but some bears here in az just don't get to big. I said some bears! My brother shot a bear about the same size and we found out later it was 4yrs old. I congratulate you on your first bear and I'm sure the old heart was pumping 90 miles an hour. Thanks for sharing and don't let the negative response get to ya. Awesome! TJ

Very nice and thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your first bear. TJ

My wife is one happy camper. She can now fish legally once again. I won't comment on that by the way. TJ

To bad the tournament wasn't a few weeks later. You could have kept all the slot fish you caught. No more slot as of Aug. 18th. TJ

I have to agree with elkaholic's advise on the italian dressing. I've been using it for years on the meat I put in the ground and it always comes out good. I'm sure there are other marinades but you can't beat italian dressing and don't forget to add a bunch of garlic. Ya can't go wrong! TJ

He would score #1 in my book. TJ

Thanks for the story and if you ever figure how to post pictures I would like to see them bucks. Good luck this year to your brother and his son. Not having a tag isn't all bad when you can actually be there to enjoy and help out. Keep us posted. TJ

Forget about the antlers. As you can plainly see everyone has their idea of what makes a good buck. Long tines, width, spread, outside the ears, inside the ears, and it goes on and on. If the old pumper is pounding 90 miles an hour and you are shaking like a mad dog then it's a good buck for sure. TJ

Ok, now that we know you have nothing better to do than monitor cwt we will have to watch our p's and q's. Glad you're feeling better. Any pictures of them stones? lol TJ

Glad to see you made it home. Now remember what the doctor had to say. Paul needs to do double duty this week with the cooking, washing, cleaning, feeding the dogs, and .......well, you get the picture. TAKE IT EASY! TJ

Thoughts and prayers from Peg & I. What a bummer! We hope all goes well. You are very special in our hearts and we wish you a speedy recovery. TJ

Congratulations on a nice bear. Thanks for sharing. TJ

She just doesn't deserve any of this. She was to have a pieceful weekend in Young with Paul and another couple and now this. Peg and I will have her in our prayers and we wish Amanda a speedy recovery. Chef, please keep us informed on her progress. TJ

Thanks! TJ

I'm not sure I'm the right TJ but if I am that is very flattering. I have helped a few guys over the years and thanks for the kinds words. I take great pleasure helping and forwarding on my experiences and hope it helps to some degree. All I want to do is help someone be successesful in harvesting an animal. Coues4ever............Not sure who you are, but thanks for the kind words. TJ Ok Larry, what is it you want? Just kidding! I didn't know that was your member name and thanks for the kind words. I'm really not that deserving of all that. That was so nice of you to take your cooker up to the youth training outing last month and do all that cooking. Wished I could have been there along side of ya. Everyone involved with putting that together was very appreciative of your services. Is appreciative actually a word? LOL TJ

That was a good write up Tony. I too went thru some of the things you experienced and can relate quite well. Jeff Sievers was my taxidermist until his death and a very sad tragedy. I don't have alot of mounts stuffed but what Jeff did still looks better than some recent mounts I've had done. Hopefully your advise will pay off for a few members on here. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "we are very fortunate to have you as a member with the knowledge you have to share". TJ

Nice looking. Now where did you send them or did you have a taxi. send them in for ya? How much did they cost to have done? I still have a lion I'm thinking about having it done the same way. Thanks! TJ

Not sure yet. My work has really been crazy. If I can be of some help just let me know. The more hours you sit the better your odds are that something will walk in. This has been my experience. PATIENCE

Just got a call from my brother and found out a friend f mine will be fishing the tournement. My money's on him. Steve Auston and his partner. Wish I didn't have to work. Good luck everyone. TJ

Good to see ya back on here Troy. Hope the rest of the family is doing fine. Where ya been? TJ

Happy Birthday Clay and hope this day brings all the joy a person can stand. TJ

My thoughts exactly and I've never been there but have the pictures to feel the same way. I was just thinking the other day that Scott hadn't posted any recent pictures and now I have my fix. Thanks Scott! TJ
