The red is the tags that were taken away and the green is tags added. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. I would have figured it out sooner or later but thanks Shelvin. Really I would have. TJ

I'm glad to see they seperated the whitetail from the mule deer hunts in 22 this year. Ok, I am about to make myself look stupid but what does the red and green numbers mean after the permit numbers? Let's say we are looking at the deer permits. TJ

It is heart breaking to hear these kind of stories and my thoughts and prayes go out to the baby and mother. Let's all pray for the best for this little girl. TJ

Four of my friends went to Apache and caught more than they usually do. My buddy said they way-laid them. That doesn't mean alot coming from him but they caught several in the slot and quite a few under and a few over. The biggest being 4&1/2lb. so it probably was 3lbs. I always got to read between the lines with this bunch because I've been with them and then heard the story later and always wondered where I was on the same trip. They are a blast to fish & camp with but they kind of streched the trueth alittle when it comes to fishing, hunting, or anything else for that matter. You ought to here the stories around the camp fire. Always good for a good laugh. Life is good! TJ ps...... they caught them on split tailed jigs, 1/4-3/8 weight white and crawdad color, 5-15ft. of water. Good luck!

Happy Birthday Brent, and I understood every word you said. Takes one to know one. Hope this is a great day for ya. Enjoy! TJ ps.........have one for me.

Good luck and we'll pray for a speedy recovery. Keep us posted on your progress. TJ

I am almost done reading " 60 Years A Hunter" by Bill Quimby and I assure you would not be disappointed purchasing his book. Not only is this book interesting to read it is by far the most enjoyable and intertaining piece of material I have ever read. I am amazed at the things Bill has done in his life. It has encouraged me to start writing, what I can remember, about all the funny and interesting hunts I have done in my past and to give thanks to those, like Bill does in his book, who shared and helped me along the way during my hunting years. Thanks Mr. Quimby! TJ

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and especially to those who have children celebrating there first. TJ

Holy Sh!t! Now I have to worry where I go. Thanks Jim! TJ

Thanks Brian. I hope the weather stays like this till my days off. Can't wait. Does anyone sell minnows in globe now? I know last year they didn't. TJ

Congratulations and shoot straight. TJ

That is just awesome. Sharing time with Mom and setting up the hunt was a great thing you did. Memories with family and true friends are what life is all about. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. TJ

Thanks for the update Brian. TJ

Welcome to the site and congratulations on your cow elk tag. Take lots of pictures because that's in big demand on here. Welcome and try to make it to the Flagstaff Get-tegether this June. TJ

Finally one of these get-togethers landed on one of my weekends I don't have to work. The wife and I will plan on being there this year. We will be bringing our new family member along with us but I expect she will be a little bigger by then. Lexie Mae @ 9 weeks TJ

Now that is some good stuff right there. I can just imagine the indians writing on them rocks. What a library. Thanks for sharing Jim. TJ

Good luck Brian and keep us posted. TJ

Awesome! Wish I wasn't at work and on the lake. Thanks for posting. TJ

Good luck on your elk tag and Happy Birthday. TJ

Jim, I can imagine how frustrated you are, and rightly so, not drawing an elk tag and I feel your frustration along with all the others in your catagory. I know you are saying, I possibly can't feel your frustration, after drawing 20 elk tags in as many years but believe me I do. I see you and a few others are always saying I don't put in for trophy tags and I understand your point of view. I personnally don't use that word ( TROPHY ) in my hunting vocabulary. I think of a trophy as something you get at a bowing alley. I love to hunt and I'ld rather go hunting every year than wait several years not drawing a tag because I think a big bull is not more important than the hunting experience itself. My way of thinking isn't on the same page as alot of you who want to put a big bull on the wall or in the books but I do respect your decisssion. I don't keep it a secret and never have that I hunt 22 and I have a million memories with my late Mother on those hunts. I wouldn't change a thing. I love to hunt and that is what is most important to me in life. I play the odds because I am a hunter and want to hunt, period. I really envy you and your outfitter's business and know you are a class act and hope you finally draw that tag someday you have been waiting on. TJ

You can kill an elk with a 22, not leagally, if placement is right. I have a 25-06 and my suggestion would be to go with something a little bigger unless you know for sure you are going to shoot it at a close range. Good luck on your hunt. TJ

Congratulations on your tag and enjoy every moment of your hunt. Good luck! TJ

How exciting is this, another family member on the rise. Can't wait to hear and see the stories from both brothers this year. TJ

Happy belated Birthday and good luck with the antler hunt. TJ
