    Other people well, it’s called family. Wife, four sons, and father. I’m super excited when they draw. Some of my most memorable hunts when I was only guiding. Still wish app process was streamlined for multiple species.

    Crazy thing is your account is probably flagged for extra screening just by you calling. (JOKING) PS. I handle 7-8 different people for multiple species. Most are applications are one hunter. I sure wish the AZGFD application process was easier. Seems like it could be more streamlined.

    My family likes their brisket a little leaner. Flat was perfect. Everyone is happy. Nice Father’s Day. Enjoy your.

    “Rest for 3-hours”. WOW. I don’t think I can hold off the family that long. They are usually asking less than 30-min into rest. Sounds like a lot of us have same idea after being trapped at home this year. I’ve probably done 6 briskets since COVID started in March. It’s been a low and slow year so far. Happy Father’s Day to all.

    Wrapping helps push thru stall and will get to finish in time. Check temp at 10:am and may adjust up to 275° if rise is slow. my flat is small at 6.5#. For full brisket 15#+ I start at 8-9:pm at 200° over night. Wrap in morning and increase to 250° for early afternoon meal. I’m sure yours will be delicious.

    What time do you want to eat? Then advise can be give for finish process from here. I doubt it will take 3-hrs @350° to get to 200°. I’d really watch it.

    Smoke up some meats

    I smoke for 4-5 hrs then wrap at ~165°. I use butcher paper but foil works. Take off at 205°. Rest in old cooler w towel folded over it for 1-hr. Nice and juicy. Foil will finish faster than paper. I generally leave smoker at 225° to 250° and don’t change even after wrapping. Temp depends on time to feast.

    Put 6.5# brisket flat down at 4:30 am. Should be ready for afternoon feast. Love my Green Mountain Grill!

    ISO New Mexico Unit 17 map help

    My son drew a youth either-sex muzzy elk tag for NM GMU 17 (Oct. 10 opener). I will be traveling to scout the unit in the next couple of weeks. I upgraded my OnX maps for NM but interested in a good physical map. Any suggestions? I don’t believe Flatline maps does NM. Also, any suggestions on where to start scouting would be appreciated. I don’t mind putting in the time but distance forces me to plan my time in the field. I’m very excited to be guiding him again this fall. Hunting trips have created memories for a lifetime. I’m grateful the department have youth hunts. Good luck to all.

    Financing travel trailer.

    Boat and trailer loans make the lender rich. Used prices are dropping daily due to COVID19. Although dealers will be dropping prices 50% just to payoff their floor plan financing. Good luck.

    Thanks for posting. Your daughter is very cute. I am taking my 12 and 14 yo sons out tomorrow. They are tired of Fortnite. Appreciate the tip on Kalin BBC and 1/16oz head, have plenty. Did anyone try minnows recently? I don't even know if Liar's Korner will be open.

    How is this not sold in today's frenzy? There was a long line a Sportsman's Warehouse before it opened yesterday. Looked like Black Friday between SW and Costco next door. Good luck with sale

    Two beautiful bulls in two years

    My son, Lance, took a beautiful 6x6 (2nd photo) last Friday (9/27) on a muzzleloader hunt. The year prior he took the other 6x6 on an archery hunt. It is great to see a child succeed on a hunt. Lance turns 14 this October 13th. I am so proud of the fine young man he has turned out to be. Memories neither one of us will forget. Proud Dad, Shane Luke
  25. My son took this bull last Friday (9/27) w .50 cal TC Omega 130 grn pyrodex and 250 grn TC shockwave. First shot was at 18 yards. Hit shoulder bone which exploded bullet and bone with no penetration into chest. All he could see was brown fur at 18 yards so I don’t blame him for placement. Bull walked then ran out to 100 yards. He placed a shot mid body directly behind front leg. Perfect double lung, 20 yard death sprint, dead elk down. We found bullet w tip pressed in but otherwise whole in the hide on the opposite side. We may have lost the bull if second shot not taken. Amazed that at 18 yards he could still walk/run although shoulder was gone there was no damage to vital organs. After this hunt, I decided to check out the Barnes to see if I can replicate good shot group.
