    What Church do you attend?

    I try to be in Church wherever I am. I met with a big bunch at Verde Valley Christian Church in Cottonwood. We just acquired a new big building to worship together at in Cottonwood. I am pleased to see so many here have the Lord Christ in their lives. Church is not a place it is a body that Worships. God Bless
  3. I have found it better to have your powder guy ship your powder to your destination and be sure that you let the people that you are having your powder shipped to know what you are doing. It is a bit costly to do this but at least you have your powder that you prefer. There is also the issue of finding a case that will fit your rifle that is airline approved!! I have a few of my rifles that I just can’t take when I fly do to the length of the full stocks. The rest I can break down or they will fit but be sure to insure them if they are old originals. Not a bad idea to have cast of all your small parts IE “locks, springs and tumbler” just in case they get destroyed during shipping. You see some crazy stuff while shipping. I still prefer to drive if at all possible to avoid having to trust someone that I do not know and to know that I have my powder when I get there. Good luck and happy hunting

    Mary's muzzleloader deer

    I was blessed with taking a nice Mulley buck with my bow this year and was able to donate my muzzleloader deer tag to Outdoor Experience 4 All. Needless to say I was ten times more excited for her to get this buck than I was on my buck. We had a great hunt and it was truly a real pleasure to take such a wonderful young lady out for her first deer.

    Need to donate a tag

    I guide form Catch A Dream and Have helped put for Outdoor Experance 4 All. It would take us to long at Catch A Dream to get a trip set up for this hunt but OE4A could get set up with a kid being a local group. They are a great bunch that is really centered on helping the kids. Thanks for your thoughts. God Bless

    How Long Is Too Long?

    I would rather have a artist do my work than a business man that just wants the money, but a good artist will know when to say "sorry I am to booked". I have never had mounts take over 2 1/2 years and the ones that took that long was because I asked him to for lack of a place to put them at the time. The best mount that I have evry seen was my best friends sheep that only took a few months. So you can be good and fast. I would be real nervious about trying to rush my mount in fear that it would be just tossed together.

    guiding license

    That's a question you have to decide yourself. I would bet most guides do it because they love to be involved in a "hunt of a lifetime" every year. You will use more money on gear, wear & tear on your vehicle, time away from family and friends, etc. Then there's the stress and pressure that is put on you to do something I'm sure you love to do. It's a big sacrifice, but also rewarding when you see all of your hard work helping make someone's dream come true. If you're looking to just go hunting and not worried about money, then I can tell you there's no better reward than helping kids. There are lots of organizations that can use somebody to help out on youth, or less fortunate kids. That's my take on it.... That is my take on it as well>

    gonna double down on coues this year

    Wow that is a nice looking rifle!! I think it would be a hoot to hunt with. Did you get it to regulate good yet I know that they can be fun to get both barrels hitting the same spot. Funner yet with black powder loads. I think you will find it real enjoyable to hunt with. I have hunted with my old original muzzleloader from 1854 for years now and have taken tons of game with it. I wish you as much luck with your double as I have had with my muzzleloader. Keep it about the hunt not the kill and all hunts will be a success.

    New Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Book

    Just got my book this weekend!!! I love it. My son and I were going through it this weekend he likes the pictures. He kept trying to get a hold of it for a taste test so it was a little hard to read. LOL The quality of this book is unreal!

    stoen cameras

    That post was most likely me. It went to Williams court because I was able to id the guy that broke it off the tree. The guy that actually took the camera I never seen again but they were together and so I am sure he knows how close he was from getting caught. You never know when you are being watched so if you need a reason not to steal there it is. Just turn it over to the law let them take care of it that is their job!

    Life's not fair

    I could not get this post out of my head last night; so I had to say something. I have guided people with more money than I could ever think of that have taken monster bulls and most of them are just a blimp in my memory. I guide for Catch A Dream and the kids and families that I have taken on cow hunts I wont forget a second. I have killed a nice non typical and a great typical bull and that was cool but when a 12 year old boy in a wheel chair, a thirteen year old girl with her left shoulder blade and arm socket removed, or just my wife’s took their cow elk I cried with excitement. I think that I am one of the luckiest people I know. I am not wealthy, good looking or even all that smart but I know the two most important things in life. God and Love. You have every rite to vent and I think you should but sometime people with money are not the lucky ones it is the ones that are put through hardship are the ones that know what is really important. I went to the OE4A dinner last Thursday and was reminded that very thing. You see I was thinking about quitting because of the loss of one of the kids I had taken and I remembered that little girl had more of a positive effect on more people than anyone I had been around. She went through over four years of Cancer treatment from ten years old till she was fourteen and she had a smile that lit every room that she was in. She knew what was important!! The last time I saw her was the end of a hunt that we were not sure if she would make or not. She told me that she Loved me and thanked me for making her life better. If she had only know how much better she made my life! You and your daughter are in my prayers and thank you for sharing. This was the first post that I had to respond to.

    TRADITIONA ARCHERS?

    Welcome to the site!! There are a couple of us that still use the Traditional bows. I just can't hit anything with one of the new fast bows. They cant shoot over the brush and take way to long to shoot I just don't see why anyone would want one of the heavy things?
