And, it was wearing armor plate, yeah that's it, body armor.

Come on Dug, Pete uses a shot gun with #2;s and we had to use a .45 with a 3" Barrel on a moving boat shooting a moving target.

Actually I use #6s or #71/2s, but that is irrelevent. Placement is key. Ya need to put the lead about an inch to an inch and a half behind the top eye. We don't shoot them up here because we have to, we shoot them because we can! A well placed "WHACK" with old Rodney just behind the top eye is just as effective. Before I picked up the little .410 I used to use an old Ruger single six 22. Never needed more than one pill to the sweet spot.

Notice the sweet spot?




In Action:

We weren't in any hurry and got the big fish eventually! Les said he wanted to shoot guns in Alaska and I was being a good host and fulfilling that request. We'll dial it in better this year though. Now we know what we are doing. That would be a pretty fun game on the i-Phone though - Halibut Headache!

That's it Dug, we will do it again
Pete you still have the Single Six?

Does a fat dog fart when you kick it?

Yes???

The airlines won't let me bring a gun and my bow won't fit in my carry on. So when I get there can I shoot something?

You can absolutely check a firearm. I have done it many times. You can even mail a long gun to yourself through the USPS.

I hear we might need to check out a few bears for a later visit? We do alright on the black bears out there.

Pete, I'm looking forward to meeting all of you folks. Would love to do a little scouting for the future. I'll have to start saving more beer cans for that. I think I have the solution, drink more beer, that way I have more cans to sell!

If we anchor up for the evening around any salmon streams, we'll have to take a little walk and watch some bears be bears.

IS IT SPRING YET!!!!!!!!!

Be here before ya know it, well, as soon as that 2 feet of snow goes away.

I can't back out now. I just paid Les back for my plane ticket. See y'all soon!

Just had some halibut tacos for supper tonight. We need to have fish tacos on the water!

Not a night worker...just tired. Been a long school year. Only six more Mondays and summer break will be here. We bake a pizza or two. I will put the bumpers out.

Pete, I'm in for the tacos. We might need a hispanic beer to go with them. Can we get some fresh cilantro to go with them?

This waiting around for summer is crazy... I think I mentally packed my bags at least a month ago. Trying to prepare for that half marathon while I'm there too. I may get a personal best if I think those bears are chasing me though....
