That was some neat stuff right there. If we only had a vacuum that strong we would never loose a buck. TJ

Thanks for sharing Abby with us. She was a beautiful dog. I'm sure you'll miss her. I hope her memories will caring you thru this time of her loss. TJ

Thanks Amanda and everyone else for the information. TJ

Thanks everyone. It was a tough hunt for our group this year, 1 for 5, but we mean to change that around next year. Here is some jerky the wife made out of my elk today. Yum! TJ

Today is the last day of the January archery hunt and I sit here typing while some lucky hunter is still giving it their all. I have waited till now to post my elk picture cause I wanted to post several pics of the hunts leading up to now but haven't got anything to show for it. There was going to be my wife's bull pics, my Geratol buck, and my pig pictures to go along with my elk but it just wasn't going to happen. Appendix taken out on opening day of my wife's hunt, then the big storm that left me with no way to get to my buck's spot along with having the flu and not being able to find any pigs till the day I couldn't stock them because of my coughing. This isn't near the caliber of bulls that have been posted but those who know me know I can't pass up a 13yd shot. He came in at last light after 5 cows were there for half an hour. He chased them away and I arrowed him thru the netting of my partners doublebull blind. I thought the screen deflected my arrow and my shot was liver so I went back to camp, ate super, and layed down for a nap. Went back around 11pm and found my bull hadn't ran more than 200 yds. After boning out my elk with help from my brother and a friend, we were back in camp by 3:30am. Thanks to Larry and Chris for all their help that night. My brother and I/ Nov. archery

So senseless is right. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the police officer. TJ

Congratulations to your Dad. That is definitely an accomplishment for sure. I'm glad you got to share it with him and hope you two have many more memories in the makings. TJ

That is just awesome. Congratulations to Logan taking his first javelina and with Granp's gun to boot. The picture really tells alot especially with Logan looking at his grandfather's gun the way he is. There's no doubt that everyone there was as excited for Logan as he was. That's what hunting is all about. Thanks for sharing Scott and please be sure you let Logan know congratulations from us here on cwt. TJ

Grandmas are special and I will keep you, family, and friends in my prayers. I lost both of mine a few years back and know a little of what you might be going through. I'm sure the good Lord will give you the strength when the time for her to leave us here on earth for a better place among the angels. God bless Isabelle! TJ

You definitely shot a very nice buck. Congratulations on your hunt and thanks for sharing. TJ

I grew up in Ohio rabbit, squirrel, and groundhog hunting with my grandpa and my dream hunt would be to bring gramps back so he could witness some of Arizona's hunting. TJ

What's more lethal, mountain lion or Gino's gang on the deer population? My congratulations to Jason, Colton, Ian, and Lucas all on very nice deer. What a great January you guys had. Good luck Gino on the draw for you and Tina. TJ ps.... as of today does anyone know if the control road out of Pine is snow covered?

Are you kidding me? I think your wife did an excellent job on that fox especially for being her second one. Please let her know you're not the only one who likes it alot. TJ

Enjoyed the story and congratulations to Brandon and Mark on their bucks. Truly trophies for sure. TJ

Congratulations on your pig but where are the pictures? Got to have pictures. TJ

Great write-up Tracy and congratulations to both of you on your pigs. I'ld give up one of my deer spots for the cave location. Looks like your year is starting out great. Thanks for sharing and it's always good to read your post. TJ

I can't for the life of me wonder why everyone is running to Mexico for the big bucks. There has been some monsters harvested this year in Az and this is one of the best. Congratulations. TJ

. She mentioned a few times that she'd like to go hunting again, but maybe only if someone else does the killing. In a lot of ways, I'm glad this had an impact on her. It will be interesting to see how she ends up with it all. Firsat of all congratulations to Mikaela on her pig and for sticking in there when the weather was bad and the long hikes. She was a trooper for sure. My hats off to her and thanks for sharing her story with us here. Know matter what impact this has on her it was a learning experience and know matter it she hunts again you come away with some great memories to share with others. I'll bet once she starts showing them boys her skull she shot, don't be surprises to hear her say let's do it again Dad. Give her time and if she decides to just go along on some hunts and not want to kill then how sweet would that be to just have her along as part of the team. I win win situation in my book. Keep us posted on her next adventure. TJ

Thanks for sharing your fantastic buck with us. That is one heck of an accomplishment. TJ

We are planning on being at the ADA banquet and hopefully by then we have at least two tables. See ya then. TJ

Congratulations! That buck sure looks like it goes higher than 100". Thanks for sharing. TJ

Them are some awesome pictures. I like the second one of the snow in the background but the one of you two just makes my day. Congratulations on a monster of a pig. Memories TJ

Great pictures thru the binos. Thanks for sharing. TJ

WOW! That was one of the best write-ups I've read on here. Hearing you tell it in your own words even made it that much better. I know how proud Dad must be of you and to tell you the truth, even though I don't know you, but I'm proud of you to. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your hunt with us here. I got so excited reading it. It actually brought back memories of my first pig hunt and for that I thank you again. I hope you continue to hunt with Dad and I can't wait til your nexy story. We'll be waiting. TJ

Having kids 14 & 17 watching this unfold isn't good and I pray that God brings them together with an even stronger relationship like the one I'm sure they once had. TJ
