Wow etter, a beautiful place and a fine cat for your friend. I never did like coin toss 🙄

Me preparing to jump into the south fork of the payette river. I’d guess the temp in the mid thirties. Luckily there was a hot spring right behind me to jump into after.

The south fork of the payette. Most beautiful river I’ve ever seen.

Another view of the river. 20+ foot deep hole that I’m sure was filthy with trout.

We saw too many of these to count

And finally, I did take out the tripod for some up close stream shots.

Normally you could walk across all of these but we had horrible weather.

My buddy and I were talking about what great outdoor oppurtunities there are out there. Here in ga, we pretty much have year round outdoor pursuits and I never thought the western states really had that.

Elk, mule deer, whitetail, and my personal favorite black bear. I saw five species of upland game in a week, plus some beautiful merriam’s gobblers. Then in winter, there are lots of predators to chase, and let’s not forget all of the fishing, paddling, and hiking there is to be had.

I loved that place to death and I will be back!!

I’m going to go lion hunting again in the future when I have the time and money, but I will be going further north to weed out the chances of such poor hunting conditions.

Most likely Alberta or British Columbia.

I’ve been in some cold water.

Jumped into a pool in north carolina with ice on the surface. Grew up swimming in a spring creek (51 degrees) by our deer camp in PA, etc, but that was the coldest I’ve ever felt.

I did it twice over the course of the week. I feel certain, if I’d have swam to the other side of the river, I’d likely not have made it back.

I’ll say one thing for it, I was LOADED with energy for hours afterward!
