Happy Birthday my friend! Hope your day is a great one. TJ

Saturday or Sunday for the wife and I for sure. Definitely will stop by and say hi Amanda and you to Christain. TJ

What else can be said that hasn't already? Outstanding piece of work. Great job Jason! TJ

I know a few who was effected to the point that they didn't put in or buy a bonus point this year. I wish I had the money to help out those who couldn't have. Years ago when I was out of work my wife just about killed me when times were bad and I took the house payment and made sure the permits got in. I still have that same priority today. I think somehow those who have it in their blood, as bad as me, will continue to find a way. I missed one year of putting in for big horn years ago, due to being out of work, and it has haunted me ever since. I will sell the house, the truck, the wife, " well maybe not the wife", but everything else if I have to. TJ

Well , I thought everyone knew the answer to this one. Unit 14 was an awesome unit, with lots of game, until Huntn coues's daughters turned legal hunting age and just wiped out the whole unit of any game. Game and fish had no choice but to eliminate the unit from the map. TJ

Gino.....nice write up on the girls and congratulations Troy to your daughter on her pig. Them girls really did the job this year. Good job Dad! TJ

Congratulations on your bobcat. I'm jinxed! Can't get one! Thanks for sharing. TJ

I've got to get me one of those. That's way cool! TJ

I have my shirt on as well and I wish you and everyone else good luck on the draw. Where is the Burger house? I'll have to try them.

Amanda, I have heard there is some mearns on the San Carlos as well as the Whiteriver Indian Res as well. Jackshoe and I are going to look into that. Jackshoe has a friend who hunts both for bear and lion on both. We just need to get off our butts and follow up on it. Do you see many on the San Carlos? TJ

Here's how I look at that. If I never draw another one I have been blessed and will not cry in my beer. WelllllllMaybe! TJ

A big congratulations to your son on the begining of a lifetime of outdoor adventures to come. Do you ever take any pictures other than in front of the garage door? Just wondering what that is all about. Thanks for sharing your pics and stories. TJ

Amanda, what are you doing without a camera? That's not like you is it? I can just imagine how beautiful it must have been. TJ

Thanks for sharing them great pictures and story. Wished I lived closer to get in on some of that mearns hunting. Sounds like a blast but hard work to find them little guys as well. TJ

I haven't been in SW for several months but always enjoyed going there since my very first visit in Grand Junction, Co. They always treated me nice and I will still respect the store until other wise. Things are tough now and they might be going thru a rough time but let's give them a little slack. Things might turn around for them. Ryan....it was always a pleasure to go in and say hi to you. Let's hope they continue to hire people of your quality and weed out those who need it. They still have my support! TJ

That huge mail box looking monument has been there for years for drop off after hours. I will go through my usual rutine of putting on my lucky hat, taking the dog along, bypassing the monument mail box, go inside, give my envelopes to Dwane, who works there, he hands them back, and then a prayer before dropping them into the left hand canister inside the building. The last one in has to be the first one drawn is how I figure it. I'm shooting for 19 elk tags in a row. Wish me luck. Live is good! TJ

Congratulations on both your pigs. I wish I would have gotten one but they won out this year. TJ

I sure got a lot of laughs on this one but no one took me serious. I can't blame you all but I just got the answer from a friend of mine who knows one of the best houndsmen around and has seen this before. He said it was done by a big male bobcat. I was leaning towards maybe a bobcat but wasn't sure. Since he spends most of his time out chasing critters I'll take his word for it. Mistery solved. Some of you was wondering what I was smoking. LOL Put that in your pipe and smoke it guys. TJ

While camped out on my pig hunt I discovered this the morning I was leaving to return home. Two of my friends shot pigs and left the cape, head, and ribs 20yrds. from our campers and this is a picture of one of them that got buried. It was only drug 10yrds. before it was buried with dirt and sand. I'm assuming it was a lion but I need some help with this one. Do bobcats do the same? We were leaving Tuesday or we would have put a trail cam on it. What do you guys think?

buckhunter.....Thanks for sharing those pictures. I can't believe I never got out once this year to chase them birds. That's about what I do is chase. TJ

Had to work superbowl and yes we'll be at your wedding. That is a good date and will be easy to remember since it is my sister's biryhday. pm sent. TJ

Casey..... I had my first one done in a full mount and have it hanging in the house, the second one I had a rug mount done and had no room for it in the house so I gave it to my sister in Colorado. Gino.......I definitely will give g&f a call. Thanks! Jeffd.....I'm bout out of elk meat so I have plenty of room in the freezer. 300ultramag......should have stopped by and gave me $3,000 and you could have told someone you had one heck of a guided hunt. TJ

I can't wait to get my first pic of a bobcat or lion on my cams. Good job Amanda and thanks for sharing. I hope to do the same some day. TJ

thanks for the pm. TJ

Gino, loved the thread and stories. A big congratulations to Tiana on her first. That'e a nice 86" one Clancy shot, and I can imagine how proud you are of Tina shooting her first and having Colton videoing it. I really enjoyed the picture of Luke shooting his first coues and Jason's buck is one heck of a nice buck for the wall as well. As for you, Congratulations on your buck and I know the feeling of letting them bucks walk by. 100 incher isn't nothing to pass on in my book. To the whole bunch of you my hats off to ya. Hope I didn't miss anyone. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the up coming draw. Almost forgot to congratulate Colton on his bobcat. TJ
