But not for why the lyrics actually intended it.. uh oh, I mean Rubio...

I agree with Snapshot, but I'd add she's singing Angel of the Morning on our dream hunt.

There was controlled burning just outside of Linden over the weekend. Any word on whether this was related?

Inflation is a bitch.

MRAAA, if KiababHunter doesn't take it it's yours, but the price is now a 12 pack. I'll be down there tomorrow.

KiababHuhnter, I tried to send you a PM. I'll be in the valley tomorrow, Tempe area. I'll bring the shotgun, you bring the beer, lol. Here's my number 480 nine two nine, 4350

I've got an old one - I mean really really old and it has a broken firing pin. It's break-over single shot but you can have it for a 6 pack of moose drool if you want it.

Dang - missed it. Those are awesome tents. I was going to be in the valley tomorrow too.

I'll take it. Just sent you a PM.

Nice write up. There's nothing like busting up a bunch of javi's and hitting the call. Getting them all riled up and coming back over and over again is an awesome rush.

I've had really mixed results with decoys. Sometimes they come running in at full bore, other times as soon as they see the decoy they hold up strutting and wanting the hens to come to them. That said my decoys are pretty old and when you stuff them in a bag they don't always look realistic in a fast setup. In my experience, if you have two or more young toms they tend to race in. If you have an older, single tom he is less likely to come all the way in. My sons have killed a LOT of turkeys over the past few years in the youth hunt and it's really been a mix anywhere from setting up with a blind and decoys to driving and calling where you hear a gobble in the distance, next gobble is on top of you and you hide behind whatever is there. For me, it's the most fun if you do the full setup with a blind and decoys and get to coax them in, but that hasn't always been the most productive.

That is sooooooo cool! Thanks for sharing.

A friend of mine who passed away a couple years back was a real rock hound. He had found huge veins of turquoise, all kinds of neat rocks. I'll see if I can find some of his tumbled stones and post pix.

125 definitely hit on something I didn't like about the Yeti. I borrowed one from a family member and one of the rubber latches broke. Obviously I couldn't return it like that so I bought a pair of replacements, but the process was tricky. There is a thin aluminum rod that runs the entire length of the cooler lid that you have to push all the way out to replace the latches, and it is not easy to push that thing out and back in without bending it.

I love hunting those cute little buggers, but a few weeks back I was hunting with a buddy down in SE AZ, staying in a little hotel in Portal, and the javi's there were kind of like your neighbor's dog. They just walked up looking for a handout. You could shoo them away, but the minute they heard a plastic bag ruffling, they were back right at your heels. Pretty funny.

Loving that smile with his javi. Seeing these kids out hunting with family is truly awesome.

That's awesome. I bet you guys had a blast out there chasing them with a bow. Sounds like she's getting hooked. Good luck on the elk draw.

Just finished my first build - 6.5x284 Norma. A little work left to do but it shoots fantastic. Perfect for deer/antelope but maybe a little too light for elk, IMO.

If you want a cool wildcat, 7mm STW is something I think would be a really fun build.

Awesome bow, great price.

Seems a lot of magnum brass is nearly impossible to find. I've been looking for Remington or Winchester .270 WSM & .300 WSM. All I can find is Nosler and Norma for over $2.00 each - ouch.

That's awesome. Love the story! My favorite part is "Might not be the best story but it is mine,lol!" Perfect, and congrats!

Had a blast last weekend. Our first archery double.

Really sorry to hear that. Looks like a good hit too! Hopefully the birds will lead you to him.

Awesome buck. Love those deep forks.
