Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pictures Just For Fun.

Took this pic on Friday on my way back to our cabin which is located on that ridge right in the middle below Denali. Picture is a little blurry as I snapped it with my phone through the windshield of my Argo.

Sweet!

I'm a woodworker myself, so I really appreciate the details and additional pictures!

Most folks have only rowed boats intended for motors (with that big fat drag-inducing stern), so they can't appreciate how easily a boat properly designed for rowing can move and maneuver!

It must be a great feeling rowing a boat that you built yourself 25 years ago -- talk about satisfying!

irfubar, when I saw your boat it reminded me of one my friend bought at the MORE show in Billings. Probably 20+ years ago. His was named a Wacky Boat! I think named after the builder.
I took many trips down the Yellowstone from Reed Point to Columbus. Caught lots of fish .Later
we put a long-shaft electric trolling motor for trolling at Cooney Reservoir..
He sold it to another friend that used it until last year and it is still being used by another guy in Columbus.

Are you familiar with that boat maker?

kennymauser,

I am not familiar with that builder. Interesting though. When I built my boat I lived in Billings. It has been down the Yellowstone and Bighorn many times. I also used to attend the MORE show back in the day.
Did you get any big walleyes in Cooney reservoir?

Tod, and Phil, our crop insurance men. I've made a hobby of taking a picture of good folks we do business with, printing, and framing the picture, and giving it to them.

Dad's boots are too big.

Thanks for the kind words V’sD...
We crab outta Half Moon Bay.. and the kids are all just getting old enough to keep their legs underneath themselves

I have fished the famous McKenzie River many times. I lived about 45 miles from it for 25 years or so. That Mckenzie country is where I did one heck of a lot of blacktail deer hunting. Those boats are all over Oregon and they go by my house here on the Rogue River every day. Proven design.

Being a boat person you may like this book. I did.
Boys in the boat

They look hungry. You need to take those boys to Golden Corral.

Looks like Venus.

You got good roots.
