Thanx boys! Yes very much like a Bigfoot . Was able to find one only an hour from home. Now for some more adventures. Love your truck diesel, looking for a srw 4 by crew myself.

but dawg is also an environmentally conscious puppy too...he religiously practice's catch & release (unless i let him keep one...) he just really enjoys the chase!
diesel's last catch of the day, prob a little freaked out, but completely unharmed, in fact i think dawg's way is better than an angler with a hook....

Man I wish mine could fish like that! They just like to lick the heads once they die.

Or roll in their dead carcass and smell it all up.

Re: post up your camping pics

thanks guys!
dawg has been fishing since he was a pup, he's pretty good at it. i've taken him to the river & some days he puts all the anglers to shame...
i let him & Dixie keep this one a few yrs ago....('bout a 20 pounder)

Re: post up your camping pics

I had to put down my big 120 pound boy a couple years back, cried like a baby. I'm sure diesel owns your heart like my boy Zak did. We buried him in our acreage's front yard and planted a tree over him, my 8 year old twins call it the Zak tree and they are sure he still looks over our yard. I totally can see that diesel will hold that same love from your family .

Re: post up your camping pics

yeah bilfman, he's my bestest buddy in the whole world! spent more time with him in the last 10 yrs than any human (more enjoyable..) he goes pretty much everywhere with us
i've been trying to keep him real busy the last 10 months since Dixie passed away last yr.. it has affected him BIG time losing his life-long partner....so i try to take him out alot & keep his mind off it.
she's sleeping in our back yard, and yeah, i snivelled like a baby when she went....
dreading the day when dawg joins Dixie digging for bones in that big kennel in the sky....

Re: post up your camping pics

had planned on doing some riding at Carolin mine, but some moron wrecked that. during the fire ban last summer, somebody went down the pipeline access & started a fire. they were actually mopping up this fire when we went by last july on our holidays. anyways, to prevent it again, they blocked off the access. used to be able to drive across the creek- not anymore....
too bad, this leads in to THE BACK country
