Down and Dirty
Kim and I got a little down and dirty in the Merrell Down and Dirty Mud Race this weekend. Some friends of ours told us about it, and when Kim signed up for the 5k, I decided to join in too.

Lowrance Winner Trip
I got on the water this week with the winner of the Lowrance, Fish with Skeet for a day, contest. The winner’s name was Scooter Boyette from Louisiana, and he had not been to California before. He didn’t get to see Clear Lake when he arrived because it was after dark by the time he got there.

A Treat
It is very rare when one of my blogs my blogs has nothing to do with fishing, hunting or the business thereof, but a guy has to have a little fun!

Bonding

Salmon Tripping
I took a chance to go salmon fishing last week with my friend Roy Gray; he’s the Lucky Craft rep in our area. We went out on the American River, and caught nine or ten fish. We went out with Vance Staplin, and he put us right on the fish.

Perfect Shot
The past couple of days of whitetail hunting in Ohio have been amazing! Three days ago on our property near our home, my daughter Reanna took a beautiful eight point buck with her crossbow. It was so exciting for me to be right there and watch her make a perfect shot on her biggest deer ever!
