Wayne, that bird was taken just about 100 yards above the power line. We stopped on the way back to camp to take a scenic picture along the creek. Yeah he was that rugged looking when you stopped by. He must've been in the shade at camp or something.

Thanks for the info Gator99. I hunt Ft. Lewis for deer, so I'm already registered with the Adventure Center and I would be ok to fish. It also pays to be an Active Duty Dependent. I can go anywhere on post I want, as long as it isn't restricted. I've heard Spanaway Lake is pretty good to fish from the dock too, but I've never been there before. I'll figure something out between now and next week. Hope y'all have a good weekend.

Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!
