Hi Allan! Nice to see you here. Sorry I couldn't be with you this time out, it looks like I missed a great hunt :(

Awesome pics, awesome stories!!! Thanks guys for taking us along. It sure looks like everyone had a great time.

Wow Allan, I now have a much better understanding in the difference between photography (what you do) and plain old picture taking (what I do). You have a great gift for allowing those of us that could not make it to tag along and enjoy the trip through your eyes, and what a great trip it was.

Thanks for sharing!

Great to see you post POP. I enjoyed talking to you while I was in Texas, even if it was only on the phone.

Temps? You had to ask, 94 degrees today. We're expecting a cold front to hit later today bring us down to a frigid 72 degrees. Better get out a sweater and some wool socks.

Allen, Fantastic collage! Wish you had narriated it it that English accent with all your colorful experssions. You are an Artist I tell ya! Both in language and photography.

Hey Dad, good to see you. Lets go fishing on Wednesday if the weather holds. CK

Hi Pop
Glad you enjoyed the pics pity you couldn't join us. It was a great group of Guys and pigs walking in front of your bow is a bonus. I don't know what you guys did with the weather but we were sure looking forward to getting back to Gunnison for some warm weather!

Rob
How did your hunt go? and how are all the preparations going? You sure missed a good hunt short on pigs but the javies were good fun.

Alan,

Wonderful pictures. What is the camera you are using?

For that matter this entire thread was an awesome bunch of pictures.

The sweat lives on!!!

Gary Kellar · February 27, 2009, 10:53:00 PM

Hi Guys . . . Thanks for all the kind words, hope to see each of you sometime in the future! Sure did miss getting to see everyone.

Doc - come on down, sounds like CK has a fishing trip up his sleeve already, and it would sure be great to have you and Joe here to join us!

Allan - Meant to tell you earlier, that's one fine son you have, you have every reason to be extremely proud of him!

Now THAT is funny!

Allan, you should be and I know you are proud of your son. A GREAT YOUNG MAN. I have enjoyed hunting with him the last two years, and getting a chance next year will be one of the high lights of the Sweat for me. By the way, I very much enjoyed having you in camp this year, and hope you can return next year (even if your pictures make me look somewhat overweight!

)

No chocoate donut jokes, Dave.

Mel, if you ask Allan nicely I'm sure he can photoshop those pics of you. The one with the wooly hat is a keeper! Kinda looks like Papa smurf goes huntin. Then again that one of me in the chair kinda looks like I drink Red Bull for breakfast/lunch/dinner so I won't comment on ya donuts bud!

Colorado Kid · February 28, 2009, 11:26:00 AM
