Very nice!

When I shread up the meat for green chili, I often save some aside and do a shreaded meat barbeque sandwich meat. It heats quick and can be eaten on a bun, sliced bread, or tortilla.

Love the sticker, wheel cover, and license plate!

Those are two very nice bulls. Congratulations!

In that last picture it is pretty easy to determine where your camera is. Be very careful posting this type of picture, if you want to prevent it from growing legs. Now that you have been bitten by the trail cam bug, enjoy. It is a great way to "hunt" year around.

Those are some very nice deer. I have always liked the look of the tall bucks. Congratulations on the good time, and great success you all had. Thanks for posting your story.

When I first saw this post I thought it was pretty cool that TJ and Peg went to all this effort to decorate their house for others to enjoy. I did not realize how tough it was for all involved. Ya know TJ has a bum knee and he is getting a little long in the tooth. I found a video of the work. Enjoy.

Nice picture, great shooting.

Taking my wife out in 30b.

TJ, that's a beautiful deer, congratulations. You have had another great year. Ain't gitten' old a bitch! My left knee reminds me that I am not as young as I used to be. The problem is that my knee usually waits until I am a couple canyons away from the road before it makes its reminders. Thanks for posting the story. Now get ready to put in for elk again and keep that string going.

Holy crap TJ you guys go all out. It looks great!

Great last minute bull. Congratulations to you and your wife on having a baby.

That was fun, thanks.

Great bull, congratulations Elizabeth! From the looks of that hoof it appears the bull never walked in any rocks. Very unique.

Very nice buck. Congratulations.

The buck may not be a monster but hopefully the hunt with your family produced monsterous memories. Congratulations on a very nice buck. hunteraztuc, you may have set a new standard for low class on an initial post. Hopefully you will bring a bit more to the party in the future.

Great buck. I think he will score TOAD and an 1/8

Amanda, Thanks for posting this article. It is always easy to fall on emotion as a basis of decision making, but when it overrides science, long term or permanant damage will be the result. I know of several people looking to give away horses right now because they can't afford them. It is a sad sign of out economy, but it is a current reality. I love horses however, I don't want to see other species suffer due to their presence. As with most things, balance is needed.

ESPN is reporting that Sumlin is taking the A & M job. With Leech and Sumlin out of the mix I wonder who Love has lined up next? We'll know soon because she will leak it to the media to see how the local reaction is before she announces her intentions.

Heck, you have shocked a few of our neighbors as an adult with your own pee habits. Blame the beer!

Congratulations to Misty on a very nice first buck!

UCLA is also talking to Sumlin. Some news reports are saying that Sumlin has been offered the ASU job, but has not yet accepted. Surely he is working each school against the other to drive the offers up. When choosing between ASU, UCLA and A&M, I am not sure ASU will come out on top. In football UCLA will always be the second choice in LA with USC getting the most attention. In Phoenix, a mid-major city, the Devil football team has a lot of competition during the season. This comes from D-backs, Coyotes, Suns (in non-lockout years), and the Cardinals. However, in College Station, Aggie Football is the only game in town. They have great facilities, increadible alumni support, the 12th man fans, and one of the richest traditions in the country. That would be a tough job for Sumlin to pass.

Wow, that buck has some impressive length everywhere. It will be tough to top that one. Congratulations.

Nice buck, great hat!

Here is the buck I took on Sunday evening. My son Garrett glassed him up, high on the mountain. We debated how big he was, but could not agree on what we were seeing so decided to get a closer look. After a long hike I was a bit disapointed that he was broken, but decided to take him anyway. He was shot at 375 yards right at dark. Garrett used the gutless method to quickly prepare him for the pack out. We were quite a ways up in pretty rough, steep, rocky, cat claw country, and there was no moon. My buddy Mark (MJE1) drove out, parked much closer, and hiked in to help us out. This reduced our pack by a long ways. The body on this deer was larger than any couse I have seen before. After cleaning and butchering we ended up with over 60 pounds of boneless meat. His head is also very large. He appears to be an old buck that is regressing. I wonder what could have broken his main beam this early in the season. It appears to be a fairly recent break as it is still rough.
