Most of the guys are what I expected...but Mike takes the cake!

Today we had a little storm roll in, though it petered out after about an hour. Regarded, Zach and Joel stayed to hunt the morning with Sam and I. Finished with 8 birds.

The last bird shot of the WCH was our mascot...the legendary bootlip. A fitting end

What was the line one of your daughters said? Something like "mooooom, the internet serial killers are here."

Then a few of Aaron's kids had friends over and when they all walked past the garage, in a single file line, a hush would fall over them as they all slowly went by, staring. Jack was definitely skeptical, Sam would grab food and run, but little Bo was the only one who would come hang out for any amount of time.

From what I have been told and vaguely recollect, I had a great time!

I hope you picked up some chapstick for all the kissing up you're gonna be doing in the next few weeks.
I definitely had a great time and you're all welcome to hunt in my boat or blind anytime.
Thanks for the new avatar.

Went to my neighbor's son's basketball game tonight. Was wearing our WCH t-shirt. At halftime the guy sitting behind me taps me on the shoulder and says "hey man that's a cool shirt. Where'd ya get it?"

Start telling people that are interested - $22.95 plus s/h. We'll start raising funds for the next hunt.

A few pics, in no particular order.

A rare sighting of hunters migrating North during duck season, a few got a little wetter than the rest.

[BrewGUN]

I only see one pic.

[NuffDaddy]

I thought red said it was only dick deep?

[NuffDaddy]

A few means something different in Cali apparently.

[Tiler_J]

Since we were hunting in Humboldt, a bit of a Hippy area, there was no shortage of untrimmed bush. Here is Boot and his favorite bush.

Don't forget red is like 8' 6", dick deep to him his mouth deep to all the other guys!

Here is a good one of Tripod getting a good look at QH's meat.

Ha!

Red, here in the center, discussing how in Humboldt a "1/4 mile" refers to any distance under 10 miles and that he can't understand how come we were all so winded after we walked a "1/4 mile" and he floated in his canoe down the river to our hunting spot for the day.

Its also a rare sighting of the elusive akpirate out of his natural tundra environment.

It is, when the tide is out.

The Juice is Loose! Actually Stuck!

Act 1, Sceen 1- While attempting to turn around next to the River, JuiceBox managed to get stuck. (Not really his fault, the 4 wheel drive wouldn't engage, but lets blame him anyway!) He was yelled at and offered all sorts of advice, but nothing helped.

[Tiler_J]

Juice
Act 1, Scene 2-
In comes Red to save the day!! After a bit of searching, a tow strap is located and Juice is freed from his rocky grave!

[Redbeard]

Hahaha

[Tiler_J]

Juice
Act 2, Scene1- After being freed, unfortunately, Juice still had to get the truck turned around. He tried to keep it on the packed trail but after making it half way he was stuck again! It was finally suggested that he should deflate his tires and maybe that would help.

Act 2, Scene 2- (I don't have pics for these) It worked! Kind of. With lower pressure in the tire he was able to get the truck moving forward. He then had 7 guys all yelling at the same time, in very loud voices to- "GO!" "STOP!" "TURN!" "DON'T TURN SO MUCH!" "GO FORWARD!" "BACKUP!"........ And he was then stuck again!

Act 2, Scene 3- Tripod, Gaddy, and myself, then stood on the back bumper of the truck to add a little more weight and Juice was told to go for the packed road. It worked! Unfortunately, once rolling Juice gunned it with the three of us on the back. Gaddy and myself managed to hang on but Tripod was bucked off into a flying dismount! It was very impressive and I wish there was video.

Luckily, the same "softness" of the gravel that got juice stuck, made for an alright roll/crash landing for myself.

[Tiler_J]

Shenanigans!
Day 2 on the river. Juice had to go home after our morning hunt on Thursday, so Friday after we packed up the trucks to leave, someone came up with the idea to pretend we were stuck. Red, QH, AK, and Tripod loaded up in Red's truck (The Purple Headed Monster) and headed for the road. We were a little slower and let Red get out of sight. Once he was gone we kicked the rocks up around the tires to appear that we were stuck. Boot made the call and with some great acting convinced Red to come save us. Gaddy sat in the backseat and Boot and I wandered around the truck "looking" at the tires as Red returned. When he was about 20 feet away we jumped in and took off through a barrage of foul language and finger gestures.


Red asked us to take a pic and send it to him to prove we were stuck. I took the pic but stalled on sending it, it isn't very convincing.

No caption necessary-

(On a side note- be on the look out for a book from QH! It's an autobiography titled "The 101 Ways I Almost Died!" He kept us all very entertained with stories about his life.)

[3legged_lab]

Zach, do you have the pic where Joel and I were putting the butt plug next to reds buddy that came over to visit with us? I don't know if he shared our same sense of humor.

[Tiler_J]

All in all, this trip was a blast! I had a great time with a great group of guys! Thanks again Aaron for hosting and many thanks to your wife for putting up with us. Can't wait to do it again next year.
