Happy birthday, Shelvin!

Hmmm So I'm going 75mph on I-17 in the left lane and you come up on me at 85mph . Who is wrong? So you're going 75mph on I-17 in the left lane, someone (regardless of who) comes up at 85mph. You are both wrong, and you, SirRoyal, are obligated by State Law to simply move over. http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/28/00721.htm No, 2 wrongs don't make a right, so "Keep Right Except to Pass" and let LE take care of the speeder/tailgater. Do you base all of your arguments on assumptions? Cause you guarantee too much. You put a lot of great content on this site, I thought you would have been a lot smarter person than this.

Oh no, You poor thing!! j/k Good for you sawbuck. Game/Elk Jalapeno Poppers Season ground elk and fry in pan. allow meat to cool once cooked to medium - don't overcook, keep some moisture mix meat 50/50 with cream cheese half a couple dozen jalapenos for about 1.5 pounds/meat stuff halved jalapenos with cream cheese/meat mix wrap in bacon grill to perfection Always a hit when I go tailgating or go to bbq's. Doesn't matter what kind of game meat. Also helps to partially cook bacon if it's quality/thick cut before grilling

Well said. and..

WOW - I have NEVER seen CWT unanimously agree on a topic on an entire page before, let alone three. Adam, I'm sure you have great kids, but on top of all the great points added above, imagine what a bad apple of a family could do to themselves and the headlines it would generate on the hunting community if the learning process wasn't in place and mandated for such a responsibility at such an age. Another yes here.

less than 2 weeks the only time I sent something in. It was in the fall too.

BACKPACK GEAR LIST 2015.pdf

Ok, Clint was kind enough to send it to me - it's intense. He has his backpacking down to a science that isn't easily re-translated for a forum post! Thank you very much, Clint.

email sent, if you send it to me I'd be happy to reformat and post it back here for all to see, all credit to you of course.

No, hence the beauty of leftovers and why there are getting harder and harder to come by.

This may have changed and anyone please correct me if I'm wrong, but only a few years ago, studies were showing does were in great shape coming off the summer range, often times conceiving twins and even triplets - not necessarily common in mule deer. However, the winter range was so poor, there was a 10% mortality across the board, deer appeared to be dying from starvation/predation, it wasn't age specific. From a variety of factors, and overbrowsing is not a major one, there is only x amount of winterfat, four-wing saltbush, i.e. quality browse remaining on the plateau. By increasing the doe tags when indications say their body conditions are poor, the individual strain may be offset by the population decrease from hunter harvest. Let them populate when indications say they are fit to do so. This is just my speculation.

Nice pictures and beautiful pup. Looks like he/she sure knows heel!

Back to back archery bucks like that don't come easy, congratulations on another great coues!

I had a nice coues buck come into water at the tank 1/4 mile up while scouting for an October hunt, but it doesn't hold up there for long. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they haven't, but I still can't believe someone hasn't made a blind out of that truck!

These breakroom sales are awesome! I'm 4/4 on successful orders on great boots at amazing prices.

Very nice fish, looks like a great time!

Rcidnaz, 2 things. I experimented a few times with dropping the green submersible all the way down near the bottom. It never seemed to work for crappie, but a couple times, when I pulled the light up to "reset" my best strategy as described above,the light would bring up loads of carp. In these situations it seemed predator fish other than a couple largemouth did not exist. May be something to try if you want to bow fish them. Never did see much size on the carp doing this though. Just my observations.. For bait, I dunk minnows typically 4-6 feet, sometimes 2 sometimes 8, either on an unpainted 16th oz jighead or a small circle bait hook with a split shot 18" up. I typically use one glow slip bobber on a lightweight rod, and straight line the other with my 10' crappie rod. I really like fishing just outside the light but sometimes that's not the ticket. Typically, I show up at dusk, drop the lights, snooze or booze for an hour, THEN fish. I save my enthusiasm for that hour and on. I have run out of 5-6 dozen minnows many times in the last couples years, even at Roosevelt where crappie have been tough if even possible to find during the day. I also use smelly jelly, 4lb flourocarbon, and I'm not afraid to turn on a little Alan Jackson. Sorry for the winded post, it's nightstalk season and I just got my boat repowered after 16 months, the excitement is too much.

I spend a lot of time hovering over a set of lights in late spring and summer moonless nights in 20-30 FOW. I'm not trying to sound like a know it all on this one, but I am confident in my strategy, and it does not involve $100 lights. I use one of the submersible green tube lights, similar to one you can buy at bass pro for ~$30. Submerse it down 4-6 feet off the stern. I simultaneously use two of the old faithful $10-15 Mr. Crappie styrofoam white lights that my dad purchased for us over 20 years ago, I put one on each side of the boat, port and starboard. 9 times out of 10, the crappie are "just outside" the visible light. I also notice channel catfish are directly underneath it, and the yellow and largemouth bass are everywhere, often darting in and out of the visible light, crappie do that too.

That has to be a great deal for someone right there, good luck finding Stone a happy and hunting home!

The last thing I am concerned about when outdoors is a fashion statement. I looked, I don't have a picture of myself with the snake gaiters but look at this debacle of an outfit. Casino Arizona giveaway T shirt from Grandpa, hand me down jean shorts from Andre the giant - have no idea how I got them, dress socks from work the day before, and skater shoes from my high school days. Wife don't care, dog don't care, critters don't care. Although I do have my devils hat on.

When I was hunting August archery in the desert I wore shorts and had some brown breathable athletic socks that went to my knee, gaiters on over them. Still sucked and they were still a little sweaty, but it helped.

Great fish, great photos, and that is one heck of a fishing duo right there! You are a very lucky man, TJ! I hope my wife and I turn out a lot like you two in that regard, I'm in the process of repowering my tracker this week so hopefully we will be getting lots of practice in the near future to get on your level! And my report echoes yours regarding Roosevelt, the crappie especially. Happy Mother's Day, Peg!

I purchased this OB from BassSlayer last week and I must say, he was a great guy to deal with and the motor is top notch. I know he sold some other stuff here simultaneously and I would assume those transactions were just as smooth. Nice to meet you, Rick!
