Hey man! Hope you eat well today and have a memorable one!!

Is that a forst service truck?! Lol!

Great buck! I say he goes 105-108!

That sounds sooooo good! My mouth watered reading through the ingredients. Take any pics?

Guess everyone is looking for draw results or something! Amazing how the site keeps growing and growing and growing and growing and growing

Yes. If you look at the stats on the bottom of the main forum page, you can see the number of users in forum, who is signed in, member/guest ratio, along with others, such as record # for users online in the forum at once. The last time the record was broken was when we were waiting on Mullins' governors elk tag pics, and we were watching TAMs post of his super cat!

Now this thread has the makings of a country tune written all over it! LOL!

Awesome! We definitely have a table filled already and it's barely March! Amanda, Please advise on how to send $ or pay you at the banquet etc.

I got out too, but ended up takiing an excursion out to Canyon lake. Wanted to see if I could glass up some sheep. Only found a pretty good sized chukwalla.

The hunting style turret is low profile and are tight against the scope so they wont get caught on things. The cap is there to help protect against the elements that may be encountered in the rough outdoors while hunting.

Great bull. Nice job on some great footage. That's a lot of eyes keeping you at bay.

[quote name='mason a' timestamp='1301251261' post='248349' I am cooking some yellowtail on the grill today (that we caught in mexico last week).We use a similar rub for our yellowtail its simple but great That sounds sooooooo good. Perfect for a day like today too. Take some photos and share em with us!

I have to thank AZbowhntr for giving me a back-strap off his coues deer from this season. We got him from "field to butchered" in record time and I have to say, that is the NUMBER ONE thing anyone can do to guarantee great table fare from your wild game meat. Here is the buck... Here he is being quartered at about 1 hour after harvesting him... Here is a clean and trim back-strap. Fresh rosemary for the rub. Here is the rub. Fresh cracked black pepper, rosemary, kosher salt, minced garlic, olive oil. Rub on the back-strap. Potatoes cookin' Meat hits the skillet. You want a hot pan to hear a sizzle, but not too hot as you'll burn the garlic. First turn. keep turning so you brown all sides. It's okay to cook over medium heat. Enjoying a nice Mexican Cab. Letting the back-strap rest for 10 minutes once it's cooked, before slicing. Here is the back-strap, fully cooked and rested, ready for slicing. Slicing. Notice no juice bleed out, thanks to proper resting. Ta Daaa! The meat was phenomenal. Oh so tender and great flavor. The potatoes were excellent. I had some lemon rosemary potatoes at a Greek restaurant not too long ago. I tried to duplicate the recipe and I must say, I outdid myself. LOL! (BTW, those are beet chips included in the final presentation)

Back-strap; bacon; mesquite? All ingredients for a tough to beat recipe right there!

Thanks guys! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Needless to say, I had a big smile on my face last night enjoying dinner. There is just something about these little coues deer that make them fantastic table fare. If anyone wants to donate any back-strap I'm all out! LOL *Advice for everyone...cook your game meat! Don't let it sit in your freezer all year and then throw it out, or give it away after it's all freezer burnt! It's awesome to re-live the hunt by enjoying a great meal of fine venison, elk, pronghorn, whatever!

Nice set! Congrats on outdoin' the boys!

Nice set up!

Every year, things get delayed by something or other. The buzz and excitement will begin soon enough.

I may be in for three tickets. I'll know closer to the date. Definitely in for one though.

This past weekend I heard that Don's was going to be closing. I swung by on Sunday to see closed gates but couldn't remember if they were always closed on the weekends. Called Monday after hours and got an answering machine. Called today during business hours and got a live person. They confirmed that they would be closing their doors at the end of this month. Sad news to hear as they were my favorite gun shop and I purchased numerous guns and optics from Manny and the guys there. They were very courteous and knowledgeable and really made me feel "at home" which is quite different from the norm from small gun shops. Apparently their gunsmith will be moving to a shop in Chandler, "AZ Arms" I think. Anyhow, just thought I would pass it on.

Happy Birthday!

5 shot will do. I prefer a modified choke. 2 3/4" shells will suffice. Save a few tail feathers from your first bird. I always kick myself for not doing that on my first ever pheasant.

Funny, cause I got three texts that night wondering what I thought of the meal as we were eating! Everyone stated the same thing, they only ate the dinner because they were starving. It was terrible. I don't expect five star by any means but that food was a huge disappointment. That's funny cause it's so true. Kinda weird when someone asks you how you met your bud, and you say, "oh we met online" LOL!

Want to trade up for some Doctor bino's MINT condition?
