Ode to the incept

Andrea was the only one to recover from this one. Didn't quite hit her squared up. One of very few times that I had issues in her. It didn't take long after this for me to set the frame up differently.

Kill the National Park Service!!!!

Dear Mr. Sullivan,
My name is Walter Bernauer and I'm writing you today in regards to the lottery that was just held. I'm sure you know all too well about the computer program problems that evolved during the last step of the lottery. On Wednesday I checked my profile and my Status was "Congratulations, your application has been selected". I can't begin to tell you how I felt. From the highest of highs, I hit the lowest of lows when on Thursday I checked my Status and it stated "lottery still in progress". I imediately called your office and was told that in fact I did have a permit but they were just double checking the results. To my dismay, this morning, of course, my Status read "unfortunately you were not......".
I understand that there are 25 left over dates to be put into a second lottery. I am asking you today to please consider giving those who were told they had a permit an opportunity to obtain those dates before the lottery.
Regards,
Walter Bernauer

Good times rolling on Auto's banana boat. I didn't know if you all had seen this one from this year. Our yellow banana boat is sold and we are picking up Artie's 16' cat. I'll be sad to see the round boat go. Lot's of fond memories. Auto's boat is the new Nanner now. Let's hope she can live up to to the reputaion of the Incept.

Alaska fishing trip

Just trying to see if this post will work. (Yep, Walt, it only took about a year, but finally got it figured out - - I think.) Here's a pic from my Alaska fishing trip in August. Cleaver.

Tickle my balls.....

We're going on the Grand!

Excuse me while I go drink.....

B and me went back on sunday to pack it out...that's a hind quarter on her back and uugghhh...two quarters on my back(dumbass!). Luckly it was only half a mile or so to the road.

Sittin' there readin' my book and.....

Lets talk huntin

Bern-T-Boater Page

Tis the season to discuss issues other than rafting and diseased racoons. This was early rifle out of Cook City...not mine. Makes me think about heavier grained bullets. Who wants to form an elk pack-out call list?

10 days left.....

You all have ten days left to put in for the Grand. Please don't pull a "Doc" and just hope someone else pulls a permit!

We were graced by fair weather, a few chuckars and huns. Mikey even hooked a sturgeon that spooled him in about 20 seconds!



 

Reflections on 30

Yeah, I just turned 30. So far so good. You would be amazed at how much 30 feels just like 29 plus a hangover.

Who woulda thunk it?

Congrats to Philly and Becky!

Congrats to Angela and Brian!

Cheers to WEDDINGFEST 2008!

Engagements?

For those of you that didn't know, two couples you know got engaged this weekend. We're one of them. Ours was on the Blackfoot on Sunday. This occured right after not being allowed to keep a big ol' brown trout and losing the dog in Thibadou. She's bony (Thibadou that is... not Angela)

Winna Winna Chicken Dinna!

Not a brian shot, but dead all the same. It's kinda fun chasing around a grouse with an arrow stuck through it.

Just thought Ya'll might want to check this place out on your travels south. Ponderosa Sports. Or you can check them out at www.ponderosasports.com Enjoy!!!
