Yes we are going up there. There are some good ones on the bait. I hope to get two side by side and watch the 416 punch through both of them!

He did have a nice head of hair and as the skinners began to wash him off it became obvious that he was indeed grey colored.
Loading this big guy into the truck was an adventure! The wench could not pull him into the bed even with four people helping. Plan B was to remove some of his intestines. Still couldn't pull him in...so the truck had to be repositioned below and down hill from the beast to get him in the truck! Let's just say Pieter really had to be careful driving the truck down the highway with this guy in the back!

In fact that side was facing me but I didn't notice! The ticks had really done a number in him!

Well the morning hunt was almost over when we had two porcupine cross the road in front of us and they tried to go under a hole in the fence. However, with an inch and a half of rain last night they turned around and ran back across the road. I took a shot at the lead varmint and was sure I had hit it. Both animals went down a hole but we managed to get them both as they tried to exit the other side of the den. It appears that the first animal I shot his back leg off. The taxidermist will need to put the two together to make one because the other one I shot in the head.

Another picture! The wench as I mentioned earlier could not pull this guy into the truck so Max is about to cut him open and remove some weight!
