Happy Hump Day Everybody! We just bumped the hump on the Left Coast...


Anybody check out the "Power Stroker" in the 6.0 Forum? A '71 F100 body and bed on an '03 frame.

I think that's what Brady needs to do to his truck.

Bad ****.

Right now is the time for the desert with the gloom we're having. I'm sure the Mojave is beautiful. Still in spring bloom maybe?

I'm not sure any time is right for Mexico these days. Diesel is cheap though.

I'm headed up to Paso Robles next weekend. Going pig hunting.

Are you going to the ranch that is shown on your website (which, by the way, everyone should check out if you haven't already - very nicely done)?

I've been to several, but this time it's the Work Ranch. It's nearest San Miguel, but very close to Paso.

Heard of it Griff?

Thanks,
Bill

You're a lucky dog Bill. Haven't seen a pig on our place, within shooting distance, since 2000. Best of luck to ya! Where's the website of yours??

The Fam and I will be in Paso the 17th for the wine festival deal.

We may go to Cal City for Memorial Day weekend... dunno yet, depends on the weather! If it's too hot then it's pool and BBQ time at home.

We'll be there the 16th to the 18th. I knew they had a wine festival thing, but did not know it was that weekend. We won't have time to get to town anyway.

What's in California City? I haven't been there since, oh, maybe the 70's when they were trying to sell land. Grabbed some free stuff in exchange for listening to their sales schpiel.

For those who like big game hunting, you are really missing out on a good thing if you are not pig hunting. For $5-600 you can buy a private land hunt and expect 80-100% success averages. The meat is delicious. The wife and I can only get through one good sized pig per year, or I would go more often.

The web site is:
WWW.BILLPOUNDS.COM
Just something I do for fun.

Hey, we should do a So Cal Chapter pig hunt!!!

Oh I'd love to hunt pig where I could actually track and find some. They are tasty, no doubt! Sure are tough to gut and skin though, compared to Columbian Blacktail deer.

When I go to Cal City we camp off of Cadillac Road. Usually near Rowend or Fairlane Drive.\

Hey Bill, I was just checking out your web page. Very nice! I love the hunt pics. I noticed on the 2007 hunt at Jack Ranch you mentioned guide Marc Tognazini. Is either Marc or his father/brother a DFG Officer? I met Officer Tognazini at the Paso Walmart a couple of years ago. He was very nice and informative, we had a good conversation about hunting out Adelaide, West of Paso Robles.

Check out the set-up @ the ranch that Bill hunts. There are pictures of it in his website.

It looks like about as good a set-up as you could hope for.

I looked up Tejon Ranch a bit back when I was in one of my curious moods - YIKES!

Ton - o - money to hunt there.
