That is awesome!! Huge congrats to getting it done with a bow and to getting 28 yards unnoticed, you da man. Gotta love it when a hunt falls into place. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

That's a pretty cool buck. Glad you were able to put hands on it.

My father has been dealing with macular degeneration for over 6 years and has started getting much worse to the point he is just about blind now at 89. He has been feeling run down and dizzy for a few months and just found out that is due to leukemia. We don't know if it's going to be manageable or not yet. He has always been a hard charging Marine and it is taking its' toll on his spirits so I sure would appreciate any support. Thanks, Doug.

I shot 3-D fun shoot in Sunrise one year with Trinity and his girlfriend. Great guy.

Had a buddy that sat a tank down south until the second group of hikers walked right by his tank and blind (without ever noticing his blind). After a little checking online, he realized his tank was directly on the AZ Trail.

I had a run in with a pit bull a few years ago. I was driving home with the wife one evening when I turned the corner in my neighborhood and noticed a guy and two dogs. He was spinning around in circles while the two dogs did the same. I told the wife that the poor guy was having a heck of a time controlling his two dogs and I realized as I was saying that, that one of the dogs wasn't his. He had his old German Pointer on a leash, and it was winding around him while a pit bull was trying to latch onto the old dog. I told the wife that he was being attacked and I threw the car into park and jumped out. I ran over asking if the second dog was his and he said no, that it came out of nowhere and started attacking his dog. The pit bull got his dog by the throat and took it down as soon as I got to him. The guy was quite frankly, a big squish, and didn't know what to do- I was pissed this dog was doing this in my neighborhood and I wasn't about to just keep driving and not try to stop it. I've seen too many stories about dogs attacking kids in a neighborhood and it just made me mad. I grabbed the pit by the big spiked collar ( I wasn't sure if he would attack me or if he just wanted to kill the other dog) and tried kicking him in the gut. You can't get any leverage to put anything behind a kick when you're holding a dog by the collar. I started beating the pit on the top of his head as hard and as fast as I could. I hit him at least fifteen times as hard as I could, and it didn't faze him. Found out later it just broke my hand, but adrenaline keeps you going in the moment. I somehow thought about a report of a guy being dragged down by a shark and he got away by eye gouging the shark. I held onto the collar with one hand and took my right thumb and started grinding it into the eye socket of the pit. Once I got past his clenched eyelid and felt the eyeball, I pushed harder and ground his eye to pulp. That got his attention and he let the old dog go. As I tightly held his collar, I told the guy to get his dog the heck out of here. I had my wife call the police and I held onto him until they arrived. They said no crime happened cause a dog biting another dog wasn't a crime. They did take him for animal control to deal with.

That sucks man. Hopefully, something good happens this week to counterbalance it.

It takes time to check all of your social media posts to see if your "social equity score" is acceptable to receive a tag from Katie. 😉couldn't resist.

I've been using one of these for the last 5 years and I love it. I'm pretty hard on my equipment and it still holds up. GLWS.

That's awesome for you. Now go buy a lottery ticket, lol.

Looks like a test run for an EMP. How's that for a conspiracy theory? lol

Paranoid and self-righteous? WTF, sounds like somebody is off their meds again.

^^^^^ same here

I just got a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV for Christmas. Should I trade up or will this model be ok to get me started?

Ken at Mad Dog in Mesa. He's a little chatty, but knows his stuff. 602-370-1109

WTF

That last on is a beauty, congrats. Thanks for sharing the quest. I was rooting for ya to get 4 book bucks. Lofty goal to set and share.

Saw 5 groups of does and no bucks in sight just above Roosevelt last few days. Mix of WT and carp.

A straight yucca stalk for a walking stick with a rubber crutch pad on the bottom. Sure helps since I'm not a pup anymore.

Congrats on getting him. My brother and I both got shots in 35A. He connected and I had a clean miss. Oh well, just gives me more time with my bow.

I've had the 23 Nov archery bull tag 3 times and the 10 early archery bull tag twice. Night and day difference. Everyone who hunts should get to hunt bulls in the rut at least once. It's the most exhilarating thing you can be doing when you are in the middle of a herd of elk with a slight drizzle coming down (knocks your scent out of the air) and there are a herd of elk following the herd bulls' bugles. " It's the best Jerry, the best" (some of you might not get that reference).

Congrats, that's a great one. love the G2's

Pima Air and Space Museum is pretty cool. (If you go you can stop and see my dad's exhibit - USMC pilot David l. Althoff)

That's awesome. Hope you still get more quality time with her.

Prayers for you and your mom.
