The ol' man and I

Center of pic - tiny white speck is our home for 8 days

Double Rainbow! Almost at least!

First sunrise

Looking with the new spotting scope. It's 25-75 power and is too powerful for me....I think I would be better off with something smaller, lighter and less power.

Our long driveway

Mind you that's 15 x 18 feet of heaven when it's cold and rainy

Karl, Myself and Matt that angry Badger

Karl's one week old truck - it even smelled new!

This showing just how desolate it is out there. The tent is dead center of the picture (click to enlarge)

Karl and Kevo gearing up early

Rolling fog made for a beautiful morning

I sat at this same spot in 2007 and saw an enormous buck. It will always be the one that got away after I found out my scope was bent.

After some burn off

Later in the day - badger deployment! It hissed at Dapper as we drove by. Big mistake for that guy to get aggressive...

Dapper and his creature -it will become my new hat for hunting and running errands

To the tune of wild horses

Feeding em'

Dapper told us he could walk right up to that big bull

Great idea

Victory!

Camp V O II - Note BBQ that lost almost all it's bolts on the way in, and our flag pole complete with whiskey dispensing deer skull

Night hunt we found a buck

While not a monster, this buck would taste far better than tag soup.

The speck of light is the quad coming up the trail for retrieval

Spotting bucks for Karl and Kevin - Dapper is reeeeal photogenic at times. I think the camera said something disparaging about his badger and he's mad...

It's funny to be in such big country and not see animals

Sunrise

Spotted a forky out there an watched it bed down

there are deer all over the hill above the rock, and a buck on the left side. I'm talking about the lower right hand side hill that is darker in color.

Success - Kevin got his first Mule deer. Karl was really close to walking into this buck but just barley zigged when he needed to zag.

This wards off badgers and mormon missionaries

Karl and I's last hike for bucks in the evening

This is what I look like when I wanna look like I'm looking at things

Karl thinking "Im on top of the world!"

Last day

The fog kept made spotting difficult on the ridgeline. It was fun whispering through our secret service ear buds from twenty feet away.

And it only got worse...

Headed out after a long 8 days, glad to have visited Owyhee again
