Hope this day is a great one for ya. Happy Birthday! TJ

Thanks for sharing Dan. Ya got an awesome spot for sure. TJ

You can do this Christina. I shot most of my elk under 20yrds and you can to. Good luck on your hunt. TJ

Thanks for sharing. Come on elk season. TJ

Congratulations on the new location. Peg and I can't wait to stop in and check out your new place. We know for a fact your customer service is the best in the valley. See you soon. TJ

Thank you all for the kind words and all the Happy Birthday wishes. Been spending it here in Tonto Basin glassing up critters.

I read somewhere last week, can't find it now, where Tonto had a 100' camping from the road and you were allowed to travel 1 mile off road to recover down game. I know for sure that's what it said but dam if I can remember where I read this. For the life of me I can't figure out why all the forest can't get on the same page. TJ

I'm no expert on ground blinds but as of lately I have killed my share of critters from them. I owned 7 at one time but have since donated a few to banquets. Here is my take on them. They run from expensive, several hundred dollars, to cheap $50. You usually get what you pay for but I'm not a fan of the expensive double bull 360 because of all the moving parts and their hub rods break easily. The more moving parts you have the more chances of things breaking. I own the 2 original double bull blinds and the material has kept up for many years and they are a piece of cake to put up and take down. I own a Ameristep brick house that runs around $130 that is big enough for 2 people. Ameristep also carry the Dog house for around $69 and the Care Taker for around $100. I suggest getting one with at least 70"plus wide x 66"plus tall so 2 people can share. This way you can stretch out and sleep in it when you get tired. I buy the moving ground cloths from Harbor Freight for the ground to keep the dust and noise down. Your choice of camo has to do with your terrain you will be hunting in. I've used many different chairs but for all day use go with one you can sleep in without falling out of. Just make sure they don't make noise. If I had to buy right now with little money I would go with the Ameristep Brick House. I'm sure there might be better for the money but I haven't seen them. As for trail cams I will leave that open to those who know a little more than me on these. I bought mine from this site and have had no issues to speak of. Hope this helped some. TJ

Good job by all but who finally got her? TJ

She sure looks identical to my lab when it was a pup. If she is mixed it's mostly lab. I wonder if Amanda has seen this. This dog will make an excellent companion.

Happy Birthday! TJ

There is no doubt you and Sam will make great grand parents. He's a lucky kid and I'm sure he's going to love the outdoors. I bet Kenna is thrilled to have him part of the family. Thanks for sharing all the pictures Deb. Looks like a great time was had by all. TJ

It was the best skull work I have ever seen. It also was a pleasure meeting you. TJ

Thanks for sharing Jason. Great pictures. Was that a squirrel or a fox in the first picture. I've never been there so I will have to put this on my to do list.

I don't have one for sale but I will say it is the best tent I ever bought. Even this old man can put it up in less than 10minutes including the ground tarp. TJ

It was a pleasure seeing you again Bill. Glad we got to sit together. Peg and I won a gun right after you left. We ended up winning 7 guns at our table. Yes, I have to agree with you Bill on the SCI running a smooth banquet and the food was awesome. TJ

Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to get my cameras out. TJ

Talk about a toad. Congratulations on an awesome buck and welcome to the site. TJ

TJ Did you get drawn for any other hunt?????? I sure hope you hit the lottery on sheep! Haven't seen any cc hit for sheep yet but then again it's what I expect. Good luck on drawing your tags as well. TJ

Happy Birthday Casey. Hope it's a good one. TJ

Congratulations Old Buck. I'm not far behind you in years put in. I don't know you but I am happy as he!! for ya. Can't wait to hear about your hunt. TJ

Congrats Tommy! I drew but not sure what unit yet. TJ

No doubt it will give you some advantage but how do you get up there? Do you carry a ladder with you? TJ

Lance at Timberland Outfitters has a pretty good track record with these critters. Good luck on your hunt.

Like what was said above. An az fishing license is required and all white armur must be released since these are owned by SRP and are used to clean the canal. They save SRP thousands of dollars in manpower and equipment cost. TJ
