Chef

My heart aches whenever the fire crosses my mind. I pray for those whom are in dangers way and those who have lost any of their dreams because of this. Sad deal all the way around.

I know who's doing my squirrel rug when I need it! Great job!

Much congrats. What did the skull measure at? He looks huge!

Congrats to the winners and a special congrats to Ralph on a stud of a buck!

Great footage and exceptional editing. Congrats to all involved and thanks for sharing the vids with all of us!

From the outside looking in, all I can say is that the view is still hazy and we, the audience, will never know the whole truth. At this point, we can only speculate while coming to our own conclusion of what happened and who is right. In the end, this seemed to have cost some friendships along with faith in our common man and hunting brotherhood. I suppose this is what can and does happen to even those with the best of intentions. I still can't believe the twists this thread has taken. Almost like a train wreck. I'm sorry to see it, all the while learning that there are some things more important, than what was held as so, during this entire fiasco of a series of hunts you all lived through.

Yup, that's what I was thinking too. Imagine if everyone donated $20! Would make a memorable impression! We've got the best membership roster in AZ. I know we can help Josh out in a great way.

That was easy! Donation sent through the website. Thanks Amanda.

This is devastating. I sure wish we could see some rain up there to help get this under control.

Prayers sent! Hopefully Jennifer can make a quick recovery! Is there any way we can raise some funds to help offset the costs of the medical bills? I'm in for helping out one of our own. I know times are tough for a lot of people right now. I understand not everyone can pitch in but I know Josh has been a great contributor to the site and I welcome everyone to do what they can. Amanda, i don't know what would be the best way to go about this.(?)

Cole, I've been meaning to post sooner...congrats!

Yes they do work. Some styles work better than others and some styles look better than others. Some are threaded onto your barrel and can be removed to be replaced with a cap if you care not to use it in the field. The main reason some don't want to take it into the field is because of noise. Depending on how it's configured, the muzzle blast is redirected and that boom is waaay more pronounced. Deafening to say the least. That is the one major (maybe only) drawback to a muzzle brake. As far as comparing what your 375 would feel like, I really don't know. Plus I think it's different when you ask numerous people. If the brake keeps you from flinching, then it's done it's job. Just don't forget your hearing protection!

That's an awesome boat! Man, it looks like you guys always had something to do and see while floating out there. That mother in law looks crazy! Almost like a lion fish from the tropics.

Man Neil! Looks like a great adventure. I am jealous of the seafood, the views, everything! I'm happy you all had a fantastic time and even better that you tagged a sweet bear. You took some great photos. Looking forward to the rest of them.

Oh yeah!... Happy Birthday!!

Congrats on your new addition!

May 21st is the date. Set your clocks and plan to attend! We've definitely had a nice presence of cw.com members at previous banquets and we're shooting for even more this year! Last year we had two tables reserved and purchased for members. Lets try and make it three this year! I know we can do it! Lets raise money for Arizona deer and antelope. This banquet will be the second year the ADA will co-host along with the Az Antelope Fundation. We had a great time last year and I look forward to an even better event this May. So who is in? (Amanda, lets keep a running tab as we always do on who signs up) http://azdeer.org/20...011_banquet.htm

Tony, I wondered where you had gone to. You didn't by any chance purchase a ticket for the $1000 blitz did you?

Pictures from last night... I didn't get everyone as people weren't always at their seats when I was walking around. (too busy spending money!) We filled three tables this year! The food was great! i didn't get the prime rib in photos but it was perfect as well as the scalloped potatoes and julienned veggies. Amanda brought a stupendous repro with her. this is from a buck Josh found. A lot of very nice items throughout the main auction, as well as the silent auctions. A few of the fine folks from the cwt tables... WINNER! WINNER! WINNER! Thanks again to all who attended. We had a great time and the function was put together really well.

Looking forward to another great banquet! See all you folks there. Bring your smiles and your bidding mood!

Sorry to hear that he can't make it. On the other hand, if someone wants to go, they better speak up, this seat will fill up fast!

I've run KO's for a very long time and on numerous vehicles. Its a decent all around tire but does terrible on wet pavement or snow. Get into any sort of rocks and they rash and chunk too easily IMO. I'm currently running KM2's and I love them. They do phenominal offroad and are wearing a lot better than I expected. Running 255/85 16 load range E on a light truck. A little stiff while aired up at 45# but I get better mileage that way on asphalt. When offroad, I air down to 22# and they do phenominal. I have more piece of mind knowing the E rated tire has more sidewall protection when offroad as well.

Yes, please do! Pics of the huge antlers, pics of the members that show up, pics of Josh and Jim smiling away, pics of the crazy stuff at the event, pics of the food!

Amanda, I think Bill only needs two tickets as his wife can't make it. (?)
