Chef

Yeah yeah my friend!! Happy Birthday! Like I told you this morning, it is brutal getting old... But it sure beats the alternative!!!

Looks scrumptious! Another trick is to broil the birds in herb butter then finish with a quick smoke. You can control the doneness a little better this way, but you wont get a deep penetrating smoke. I learnt this trick from an Asian chef who smoked duck with jasmine tea in a wok. been using it ever since.

Happy Birthday Dan! I hope you are enjoying your day!

Way to go Courtney!! So where is she headed off to? What duty?

Dinner was nice. Steak and chicken... Here is the item I donated. We donate every year! Anyone else take some pics?

Here is what I bid on and won at last nights silent auction.

Our table won a 7mm mag and a .22 revolver, a pack of tickets worth $300, and some other stuff. Fun times. I won on the silent auction. Wish I would have known you were there. Saw Flatlander, coueshunter, azbowhntr, and many other longtime friends. Thanks to AES for putting on a good show. Love to see the commissioners elk tag go for a record $235k!!! Wow!

Beautiful birds and a great trophy!!!

I'm sorry to hear this. My family extended has been going through the same thing this past week. When you see how many people loved him, it's hard to wonder why it goes down this path. Depression and anxiety is a tough thing to deal with at times.

Congratulations thus far to everyone that has had their CC hit! I wish you all a safe and rewarding hunt with memories made and hopefully the trophy of your dreams to brag about. I love this time of spring.

Happy Birthday Scott! I hope you are enjoying your day!

By far, one of the best thought out pieces I've seen in a very long time. You have a knack for portraying animals in natural poses. (your best is the cat pedestal IMO) Fantastic piece and one that I could be so lucky to display in my home.

Love the photos! Especially the captures of both the bee and the horse on the river.

Great recap Amanda! I know how much fun you all had from talking to Peg and TJ! Love the antique farm equipment as well!

TJ, Your Dad was a great man. They don't make em like they used to anymore. He could not have asked for a better son and friend than what he had in you. I really appreciated the fact that I got to see you enjoy every minute you got to spend with him, especially out in the field and on the lakes. You did good, and I learned a valuable lesson in appreciation of the time we have, and people we share it with. Thank You.

The RUM roars again Phil! Congratulations again on your success. It's great that you were able to go back for a round two, and even better that John was able to accompany you. Especially after the grueling hunt you two had the first go around. You guys are nuts! Those are some tough critters!

Great footage on all counts Jim! Congratulations on your deer and super awesome bobcat archery kill!

Sweet video! Way to get us pumped up for this years draw!

Way to go Keven! You did the right thing by heading back down again a week after you got back from the ranch! I'm so happy for you and your beautiful buck is well deserved. I know you guys ate well too! Justo looks good and you are right, he treats you like family. Congratulations again my friend.

Dude! What a buck! Congratulations! *On another note...it was nice meeting you at the Tucson Sportsmans Warehouse a few weeks back.

Woah! That was amazing to watch! Beautifully documented and well put together! You must have had tons of footage on the cutting room floor after the editing. It looks like you captured everything along your hunt. Big time congratulations and thanks so much for sharing. Best I've seen.

Congratulations! Love your ram.

TJ, thanks for keeping us posted on your recovery. I hope you continue to make good progress and are back at it again soon. I'm very happy it wasn't as serious as it could have been.

Congratulations Josh! That's one heck of a feat and a lot of work to get your hunter on a buck like that! Way to go to Bob as well!

Happy Birthday!
