Thread: 40 days without hunting...

I just got back from the USA on Saturday after 28 days helping with Californa's worse ever Wild Fire season. That was the longest time I've been without hunting for a very long time. I gave myself a couple of days with the family and then hit the Haurangis, with a mate yesterday.

I'll chuck a few of the USA game photos together and make another video; we saw Black Tail, Bears, Elk and heaps of other small game. Spent one night in my tent 500 yards from a mob of 100 Elk, the bull bugled most of the night, in the morning I stalked up to within 200 yards of a mob of 30 cows and calves (is that what they called?) having a swim in the lake. Good times!

The Americans were amazing, so thankful, helpful, friendly and grateful. The Mendicino Complex (the Ranch and River Fires), where I spent the first 14 day shift was the largest fire in Californian history; it took me 3 hours to drive back to camp some nights (one night through one the Sitka founders fathers Ranch; I met them both). I visited the Kuiu store; it was very sad to hear that Jason had taken his own life only 10 days later.
