Dang BOWUNTR, you have killed some awesome critters. I just viewed your photo pics and you have done pretty good for yourself. Thanks for sharing! Good luck on your hunts this coming year. TJ

GRONG...thanks for sharing them great pics of you with the sheds. If only I lived closer to the rim country and not here in this valley. Days off don't come never to soon during this time of year. Keep sharing your finds with us. TJ

Keith.....great picture of the kids and a big congratulation on your daughter's first fish. You have got to start a journal and let her write it down. Can you see it now, about 25 years from now, how proud she will be of this day that she would otherwise have forgotten. Thanks for sharing! Casey......I was gagging? was that last year? TJ

Don't get all confused and worked up over all the different loads. Go to Wal Mart and buy a turkey load in #2 or #4. I prefer #2 but #4 will do the trick just the same. You know how close you must be. Have a great time and share pics when you get back. TJ

IMO,,,,I shot several turkeys with fixed blades before I figured it out. I never recovered a single bird until I went with expanded blades. There are many on the market and your son difinitely needs to shot some to see which ones will fly true out of his bow since each shoots different. Don't worry about shooting thru the netting and just put on camo and stay dark and you won't have any problem. I hunt out of the double bull blind and don't have a problem with turkeys seeing me in my blind. I have shot my last three turkeys with archery and expanded blades are the way to go. Start out trying the vortex 100 gr. 2 1/2" blade opening. Good luck on your hunt. TJ

How come you never mentioned this to me before man!!! Casey I think you might be underestimating the Payson gene! Them some angry people up there. The aint sure if they are desert folk or pine folk so they get angered easily and take it out on everybody TJ

Yes Sir, I could use some more Brass Thank you for the Offer. Let me know how much you would like for it and How we could get together. Mike Mike, did you get the brass I left on the bench next to the back door Monday morning? If so, you're welcome!

I'll be taking coueswhitetail fishing at Roosevelt & San Carlos this week to display my new sticker. Got one coming for the trailer as well. Is this the first sticker to hit the water?

quote name='CouesWhitetail' post='97010' date='Mar 23 2008, 12:29 PM']Your fishing permit entitles you to camp also. But you can always call the dept to double check. Or ask the people where you buy the permit. And remember that the permits expire at midnight, they don't run 24 hrs from the time you bought it. So for one overnight you need two permits. Nice sticker! and as far as I know yours is the first on a boat! Awesome! Amanda Amanda....FYI.... just thought you might like to know that the fishing license I purchased for San Carlos lake, last week, was good for 24 hrs from the time I bought it. It ran me $65 for 4days including the boat permit. They must have changed since you last looked. $10 per day/ valid 24 hours of time of purchase camping included $6.25 per day boat permit and not the $10 stated on their web page

I personally didn't know Walt but the wife and I would like to express our condolences. Our thoughts and prayers will be with family and friends. TJ

....for some reason I can't see that happening to Gino. Gino......thanks for sharing the pics and I can't get enough of that dog. Sweet! TJ

I just heard from a reliable source that all left over tags were to go to the Cabela's group. I'm serious as all get out! TJ I seriously doubt that. I forgot it was April Fools Day!

#2 P&Y Non-Typical Coues. A big CONGRATULATIONS on your buck once again. I have got to set eyes on this bad boy one of these days. TJ

GH....is the Round-Up your lubrication or does that just keep your stuff rounded up so you don't have to look far for things? Hope you enjoy reloadeding the casings I left you while turkey scouting this past Monday. Scouting was very successful. Lots of turkeys this year. Your bench is coming along but I know you will change it a dozen times before you are happy with it. TJ

Great choice in bows. My friend bought the exact bow in Nov. and is shooting really well with it. We shot at Archery Headquarters today and if you ever get a chance stop in and shoot their dart game with real animals on the screne. It's a blast. Congratulations on your set up. TJ

I just came home from a 3hr turkey seminar at Bass Pro, put on by Marvin Robbins. It was really informative. He put on a 2 day seminar this last weekend in unit 23 and his students got to see over 100 turkeys and lots of gobblers talking. Azgf also were up there and trapped a lot of turkeys to relocate in other not so popular areas. Now's the time to get out and witness some of Az's best turkey action. Good luck to everyone who has a tag. TJ

A friend of mine drew 3 unit 9 rifle bull tags the last 3 years and a unit 10 rifle bull tag this year with 0 bonus points every year. . Go figure! TJ

I just heard from a reliable source that all left over tags were to go to the Cabela's group. I'm serious as all get out! TJ

Yes, a friend of mine saw some gobblers doing their thing last week near young. I was out yesterday with a friend scouting and saw several turkeys and found a bed room of 4 roost trees. Bingo! It was also nice seeing a heard of 8 mule deer which I haven't seen in this area for some time. A few elk were seen as well. It was a good day. TJ

....good one Tony. TJ

105Coues......that just happened to be me who stated I had drawn 18 straight archery 22 tags. I simply was making a fact and didn't mean it to sound bragging. Congratulaion on your antelope tag that I can't draw. I hear guys who say I'm lucky and that they haven't drawn a tag for 15 or so years. Lady luck has been on my side for the past few years but I also went with the odds and put in where I was sure to draw a tag like so many others could have done if only they were to study the azgf's odds book. When any unit has a 100% draw then it's a no brainer. NOT ALL.... but so many I know say they would rather not hunt if they can't have the unit they want but still complain when they don't draw against the odds stacked againts them. 100% draw units are just about a thing of the past and my luck will come to an end on the draw some year. Is it unfair?/Does azgf need to change the draw?.....I don't have the answers but I'm going to ride this ride as long as I can no matter how many PMs I get wishing me my last tag and 105Coues wasn't one of them. They know who they are. Not BRAGGING just STATING a FACT. tj PS-Congratulations again to all that drew and for those who haven't I hope you have someone to help out on their hunt.

+1 on this one HC TJ

Casey, thanks for sharing them pics. My Pa and I also were on San Carlos last wed. & thr. We had a great time and brought home our limit of 50 crappies. Was unable to fish mid day due to high winds. Pa with the start of a fish fry. TJ

My opinion is Jack Daniel's make their own and they are filled with good old Tennessee whiskey and then sold after aging takes place. Not sure what their barrels are going for but you can find it on the web I'm sure. TJ

First of all congrats to all who drew tags and those who didn't my heart goes out to ya. My wife......not drawn. As for me.....antelope not drawn Archery bull 22 north... this is my 18th straight archery tag. I can't believe it. There really is a hunting GOD! YEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAW TJ
