Hey fellas,

I havent been posting much lately because I have been pretty busy. I went on a fishing trip to the Trinity River for Salmon and Trout for 8 days. Then came home and worked for a week then took off to Hawaii for 10 days. And just got back from a bowhunting trip on Sunday. No Buck but some Grouse and Quail. I figured I owe you guys some pics of all this so here are some random ones. Ill start with the fishing trip.

Scared this baby bird out of its nest when climbing a rock.

aloha,i hope you had a good time in hawaii,next time bring your bow an pole we got some awsome hunting an fishing here ,,,aloha
 
Kalama I was wishing the whole time that I knew someone over there that was into hunting and fishing. I have family on Oahu but none of them hunt. I will definitely take you up on that next time I am out there.
 
Wow, great pics. Thanks for sharing.
 
Ivan: The Cultis performed well. They were used mostly for cutting roe, gutting/cleaning, and other random things. My friend was very impressed with his newly acquired INFI. They are perfect little bird and trout knives. INFI really does hold an edge like no other.

I also just ordered a new Dexter Russell VLO fillet knife but it didnt come in time. We filleted with the good ol Rapala.
 
I can't think of any better way of staying busy!

Excellent pics, lloks like your having a great summer!
 
DANG. Lovin those pics. You have been busy! got any more!?
 
Nice pictures. I especially appreciate the bird pictures, all the fall bird seasons are going to start soon. Dove season opens Monday, turkey not too long afterwards, then pheasant season in a couple months. Getting very excited to get the Benelli back out for some quality time.

Thats what I was thinking but it doesnt quite look like any of the pictures I have been seeing in my books and the web.
