Well, spent a few hours on the phone last night with my friends in North Dakota. Long story, but looks like I may be going out all next fall to help them out and work as a guide. As soon as Christmas is over I gotta take CPR and First Aid classes, then the North Dakota G&F exam, to get my guide license for out there, but it's looking like I'll be in the badlands from early September until Christmas 2008.  Anybody want to bowhunt for mulies or big whitetails?? ;D Already looking at what tags I can get. So far it's achery deer, archery antelope, maybe gun deer (got 3 pref points so far, fingers crossed), pheasants, sharptail grouse, ducks, yotes, prairie dogs (last two with flinter, of course!). My off days are already looking very busy! I'm going to miss hunting at home and chasing sika, but can't pass up this adventure! Can you guess that right now I'm ;D ;D ;D?? |

You'll have to get in line to hate me, even Fox and DaveP aren't halfway to the front! ;D ;D ;D And it must be freakin' North Dakota day, just found a job opening for a Mosquito Control director in Williston, just an hour NW of the ranch we hunt. Somebody up there must want me to move!! |

Thats cool dave. I hope for all that time away you get compensated well. ND mosquitoes ain't got nothin on eastern shore skeeters. I think you would get bored with those below average skeeters. LOL

Haven't heard anything for a while from out there, although I started getting the info for the guide exam, but got bad news today. The tribe has always been a bit of a bureacracy to deal with, but this year they've put such odd things in place on the ranch that Billy isn't renewing the lease there. Sucks, that was a great place to hunt and stay.  They don't have anything else leased for the next season yet, and not sure what they're going to do (wouldn't blame them if they took a year off and traveled or something) so guess I won't be cheif guide this fall. Still putting in for the gun tags for ND, but other than possibly that hunt looks like it's sika for me all next year again! |

Normally I make people I take sika hunting wear a blindfold so they cant' find their way back, if I take you Big Fox I think I"LL wear the blindfold, don't think I could handle you naked in the marsh!! But, yes, we can take DaveP to be your towel boy... |
