Trip To My Happy Place

[HunterMcBuckKiller]

Spent the weekend in my "Happy Place" in Southwest Oregon along the Rogue River, Grew up catching fish here with my grandpa.
Hooked and released quite a few Rainbow trout in a matter of 2 hours, my kind of "pride" month .
Nothing like listening to the river and birds while keeping the line wet and soaking in the fresh air and roar of nature.

Cant beat a fishing spot with that view. Makes me want to take up fly fishing.

We've been here for 6 months now and every pristine area we go to makes me think the same thing but I already spend too much money on my hunting hobbies... No way the better half is going to let me start that...

I had to let him go, Fishing regs up here are super strict. Only allowed to keep hatchery trout.
My 7 year old daughter really wanted to keep him and cook him...

Good news though, I got access to 50K private logging acres 30 min from my front door starting 8/1. Fingers crossed and a little hard work, hopefully I'll be comparing Oregon White tail venison to CA Mule venison this fall...

And Elk, pheasant, chukar, cougars, black bears... If it pans out I will be a very happy, happy man to say the least, I got the sportsman package this year from Fish and Game so I get a shot and most big game and upland bird...
