Mid 60's, grandfather would take my brothers and I quail & rabbit hunting north of Phoenix. Usually near Cave Creek & Lone Mountain roads. We had a blast. Grandfather started a fire inside us that burns to this day.

I too missed this post. Outstanding rams, congrats to the hunters. What an adventure it must have been.
