Uncle D and his Walleye

Oh Doug.....

It's only December, we just barely winterized and I already have "cabin fever" i guess you could call it. I don't know how I'm gonna stick it out until April or May!!

Quote of the Trip

Nick: "Oh, that's what they look like?"

Keep finding these old pics

Remember How Proud We Were When We First Got Doug?? Like a Proud Parent!!

What a Trip!!!

Well, this pic pretty much sums up how the trip is going to go!

5 Dudes, 16 Guns, 2000 Rounds of Ammo, 2 days in Wayne County!! Does it get any better than that??

My Spot at our First Coyote Stand of the Trip
It was cold up on top!

Played a little pool over the "Worlds Best Pizza"






That's Some Pretty Good Camo!

2nd and last Coyote Stand



Ahh, at last, The BOULDER MT Breakfast!!




And now... a little Much Needed Range Time





The trip ended in Nephi at the Annual Youth Coyote Hunt Dinner and Raffle

One for the books

First we started off with a demonstration by the president.

Then partook of our field snacks.

Seth forgot about the elevation difference, right after he had gotten done

telling us a story about how his friend had something blow up on him in Brianhead.

Next Item of Business??

Ok, I know I haven't even posted pics or videos from the Loa trip yet but I have already got our next item of business up for discussion. I can't wait for our little planning meetings. These meetings may even be more intense than the Boat meetings. I mean, the Tahoe was nice for the trip and I thank Meree for letting us use it but lets face it, we may wear out that welcome before too long. So, I motion that we put this up for discussion and start to pool our resources. All in Favor?

First of all, watch this inspirational video:

Lets try to have the car loaded so the minute seth gets home we can kiss meree goodbye and leave. (well. so that matt can) Please, Please, Please lets try to get away early. There is still some debate as to which vehicle to take. Either Matt's tahoe with Hot Dog or Ron's white truck. Either way, we need to pack as light as possible. I will have 4 guns, 1 bin w/clothes and ammo, and a blanket and pillow. Any ideas on which car would be better?
