That muley is awesome. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Thanks for sharing the pictures. It is what I needed to get thru this day at work. I can day dream about the mountains and it will get me by for now. TJ

I've enjoyed seeing all the pictures and it is what I need to get me though till July 18th when I find out I have a rocky mountain bighorn & a coues tag. 08

What a bummer of a thing to happen. Glad everyone is alright. TJ ps.....what unit did your boys draw?

+1 for eagleoptics.com. Bought my tripod & pan head there and jackshoe just purchased his tripod and head as well a couple weeks ago. Great prices. TJ

Thoughts and prayers from the Joiner family. TJ

Whale......If I was in the girls spot I would not have wanted the buck after you had shot it. With that said I would have done as you did, knowing after the fact that she had hit it and was tracking it I assume, I would have let her have it. I also agree with Roughcut that you will be blessed by the deer Gods as well. What goes around comes around. You are a better man for your act of unselfishness. IMO.......The law may state that whoever kills the deer is required to tag it but just because it is the law doesn't always mean it is the right and ethical thing to do. Tam......I'm with you on why anyone would want a buck that someone else had killed. And may I add as well, another buck that someone else had already shot and hadn't recovered yet. There will be some different of opions I'm sure. TJ

I've never seen a time with Washington's head on it before. That's got to be worth alot. Thank God your dog made it out alive. TJ

Kent.....nice find on the bones along with your first pics. My first pics were of nothing but blowing branches. You will definitely get better with lessons learned but you are off to a great start. TJ

VERY NICE! TJ

I would have been happy with that video since I am always messing something up. TJ

That's some great width on your Dad's buck. The mount looks awesome. TJ

Them are some nice bulls Gino. Makes me want to check out my cameras. TJ

Congrats on the hogs. Them sure look big to me. Some day when I hit the lottery I'll have to do that. Do you mind sharing what the cost of your hunt cost you? Thanks for sharing the pics. TJ

You did a great job on photoghaphing those deer. Some of the best I've seen. TJ

I started celebrating Father's Day over a week ago by taking my Dad to Roosevelt fishing 3 days, then all my sisters, brother, and myself had photos taken to present to him at our Father's Day fish fry at my house last night. I cooked fish for 3 & 1/2 hrs. We had a house full. I then volunteered to work 12hrs today for a co-worker so he could celebrate Father's Day with his family and will finish my Father's Day gift by taking him fishing Tuesday. I thank God I still have my Father and can still enjoy the time we have left. Did you guys do anything special for Father's Day or what did the kids have planned for you? My heart goes out to those who no longer have pops around. I hope everyone had a great day. Last week at Roosevelt Pop's 09 turkey got a little wet before the picture. 80 yrs old Dad drew a 22 late rifle bull tag. I'm blessed! TJ

Got to love the rabbit. I'm working on selling a few things and then I'll be buying one of these cameras. Thanks for sharing Amanda! TJ

DUG.....congratulations to your 11 year old daughter passing her test to recieve her patch and diploma. Now let's get her a tag. Jeff......hope the scouting is going ok. Resting on Fathers Day must have been pretty relaxing. TJ

I don't have any facts to back this but I would have to think that number of 99.3% is way off the mark. My hats off to you for volunteering your time but just because you don't see alot of people at meetings or projects doesn't mean sportsmen haven't donated in other ways. There are way to many organizations, associations, clubs, ect. to mention and each one of their members giving donations and memberships would have to better the 1,000 mark you mentioned. I'm not here to argue with you I just don't want to believe it. Maybe your right but I hope not. I recently helped on a water project and found it to be really rewarding to the soul. I feel your frustration and know of many who talk the walk but won't walk the walk. With that said I also know of many who do things behind the scene like digging out old catchments, supplying water to catchments, and donate towards the game & fish donation box on applications. So when you say you don't know what the other 99.3% of the people that want deer tags but do not offer support to projects and conservation groups, just remember there is more behind the scene than you can imagine in my opion. Thanks for bringing this up and maybe this will get more people motivated towards projects. We would like you to be a forum regular and thanks for jumping in there. TJ

Congratulations Luke on your first dog. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing his success with us Dug. TJ

That was a ngreat article in Western Hunter. I'm sure there will be alot more members joining after they find out where they can get the best information about our coues deer for free. I look forward to the next issue and thanks to Chris for publishing it. TJ

Please congratulate Paul for me and thanks for bringing this to our attention. You difinately have a keeper there Amanda. You both deserve alot of credit for your continued work you do for all of us. THANKS! TJ

The wait has been worth it Ramon. That is a very nice buck and hanging on your wall to look at every day. Glad you finally got around to sharing your story with us all and thanks to Dad as well. Keep us posted on your next adventure to the great outdoors. Do me a favor Ramon and start a journal and write in the details of your hunt and all the hunts to come. This way when you get my age you will still remember them all. TJ ps.....Thanks for sharing Dad.

Thanks for sharing. TJ

Bill, I would like to pick your mind apart sometime. There is no doubt you have more stories than one could ever imagine. TJ
