How were the ticks up there. Did you or Finn come home covered in them?

Surprisingly none. I’m dosed him right before we left, but haven’t found a single one. No snakes either.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

I will say you started off on the wrong foot and jinxed yourself by getting glazed Donettes instead of powdered.

The efficacy of powdered to get a hunt started right is proven scientifically. haha.

well NOW you tell me.

My friend duckmanbob calls those "cocaine donuts". He swears that it helps the ducks find the decoy sets.

A real bear hunter would have stripped naked and swam the river to retrieve that bear. #beerhunter

Not sure exactly what advise you are asking, so I will throw them all out. Ruffwear Approach, 1/2 a Thermarest z-pad and either Newcastle Brown or Red Hook ESB. IPAs are over rated.

Cut a couple of sections from a thermarest Z rest for Finn. In fact, cut six sections for you to glass from and have it pull double duty for your bud to sleep on.

Yeah I was a little vague. Dog panniers is what I was referring to , but I like the idea of the section of pad. Red Hook is so yesterday man .

I do need a glassing pad and a silnylon tarp. Then I could burn holes in them to from my drying fire. My pants suffered dearly.

Anyone that tried to swim that river right now would likely end up feeding the fish.
