God bless you for taking the time t go out with the boy scouts and help them out.

Actually at the time I was one of the scouts. But I've spent time as an adult with scouts as well.

I did Mt Whitney recently and it was defifnely hard 22+ miles in a day. God bless you for taking the time t go out with the boy scouts and help them out.

You get a week to go 50 miles?

When you're talking about 3-5 (mostly out of shape) fathers leading 15 or 20 12-16year olds on a 50 mile backpack trip - yeah it takes 5 or 6 days. Especially when doing so in the High Sierra (8,000+ feet elevation).

Pig and Deer Hunting Parkfield August 21-23, 2009

Well here are the pics from my pig and deer hunting trip. The hunt was on a big ranch between San Miguel and Parkfield that we've hunted a few times before. Last year my father and I got our bucks in the first two days but this year we didn't even get a shot at one. We did see about ten pigs and I got a shot at this 180lb boar on Friday right before dark.

This was about 80 yards away up a hill. I had to shoot under some low trees so I laid prone and squeezed off with the .30-06 (had just gotten the gun, a Remington 770, a week before) and got it right in the mid back near the spine. It dropped and let out a huge squeal. I followed up with a shot that got him right behind the shoulder.

We climbed up the hill and I kid you not it took at least three more shots with my Dan Wesson .357 in the head to finish it off. One very tough pig. Here's the pics.

I think my dad was happier than I was


Got it all cut up yesterday and made ribs last night. I'll be breaking out the meat grinder tomorrow for sausage.

Congrats on the pot!

[strangerdude]

Really? Thats funny. Usually pots cant be won with any kind of billfish/sharks/or rays. Also any troll caught fish doesnt count either.

Nice dodo tho.
