I'd adopt you, too, Skip! Bonefish are horrible eating, I'm told, but they are catch and release only in most places to preserve the fishery.

You mean you're not a part of our family? I'd go with you any day, Daver!!

I've done just enough ocean fishing to know these were all good eating. Parrot fish was the only one I've not eaten before, but a good guide will tell you what is and isn't good. There aren't too many "carp" in the ocean. The only thing I won't eat are sharks, bill fish, bonefish, tarpon, and...

On our third day on Abaco, we lounged on the beach; nothing exciting, but pure relaxation. On our fourth day, we did a mixed-bag trip that included bottom fishing, visiting the famous swimming pigs, and going to a cove where you could swim with, and feed, stingrays. Today is just pics of the...

The week before Christmas, we took a family vacation to Abaco Island in the Bahamas. We stayed at Treasure Cay and it was amazing. Of course, a trip to Abaco isn't complete without a bonefish fishing trip. It's the bonefish capital of the world, after all. The Marls is absolutely amazing. Jacob...

I still remember when my buddy Wayne (Bowman) talked me into joining 10 years ago and then I realized it was Chris that ran it (went to school with him). Over the years, I've met some really cool people, including Skip, and consider another (Tony/Risto) to be a dear friend, all because of this...

Draw results were officially posted today and its great news! I drew my Goulds tag and so did my wife. She'll sign that tag over to Sydney and then Sydney and I will take off to Southeast Arizona to hunt Goulds together in one of my favorite places on earth! Thankfully, we both got the Unit...

Because everything but a few archery deer hunts are lottery based, three times a year, every hunter in Arizona calls his/her respective credit card company to see if there are any charges from the drawing. Today was the day to see if you drew a spring tag for javelina, turkey, bear, and/or...

I"m finally getting some pics of the calendars. If you're interested, let me know and we'll get them to you. I've had a few out of state buyers already, so shipping a calendar back to you isn't a problem, unless you want to come down here archery javelina and deer hunting in January!

I asked the same question after my daughter's elk hunt. If you resize them appropriately, you can upload them directly from your computer through the new(ish) program IW has. Worked slick once I resized everything down. And, yes, I love the confidence!

Hey everyone, I thought I'd let you all in on a couple of fundraisers that NWTF is doing in Arizona and a couple of other states. Every year, the NWTF-AZ holds a 31-day gun raffle, where we give away a different gun every day for 31 days. We're partnered with Sportsman's Warehouse, so if you...

Update. I got the call from the taxidermist last Friday. Syd's bull scored 286-5/8". Our taxidermist even said he was deceptively smaller than he looked. Syd was only slightly disappointed that she didn't break the 300" mark, but she's still extremely proud of her bull, as we all are. I...

With my dad and grandpa being former meat cutters, I have more top-quality knives than I know what to do with for processing game. A few years ago, I fell into the crowd and bought a Havalon Piranta. I've used it a couple of times and was slightly impressed, but it wasn't until processing my...

Some of you may remember that, last spring, we found out that our daughter, Sydney, was drawn for one of the best elk hunts in the nation. She drew a coveted early rifle hunt in Unit 1. Recent data have now concluded that Unit 1 in Arizona has the most trophy bulls of any other state or unit...

Thanks, all. I've tried to upload directly to the site in the past, but had problems. Must have been the pic size. I have Microsoft Office 2000 on my computer and can resize them that way. Elk hunt story and pics coming soon!

What is everyone using now that Photobucket is not an option to post pics? Or is it an option again without paying $3,000,000??? I have pics of Sydney's elk hunt from this past weekend and want to get them and the story up (or have her do it), but I need to know what my options for posting...

Having been busted by white tail in south Texas in a blind that wasn't very well brushed in, and reading stories here in IW, I was also surprised to learn that our elk, mule deer, and even Coues whitetail don't really care whether the blind is brushed in or not. But I know guys who have arrowed...

I was just thinking about your hunt the other day. While sitting water and wallows can be effective this time of year in the SW, its definitely not the preferred method. And with all the rain the Gila got this summer, there is water everywhere, so its less effective. As for not really needing...

Exactly! It was hiking in nasty, steep terrain in NorCal without liners that put me in the hospital and almost killed me. I can send pics that will make you never hike without good liners ever again!

Back when I was fighting wildfires, I would cycle socks/liners every two days without problems. Smartwools are expensive, but I'm fortunate enough to have a prodeal, making it easier. I can tell you that they are worth every penny, though. I'd think three pair should get you through...
