Most memorable CA trophy: Rifle deer opener, 2007, hunting with my brother-in-law, Clint Isbell. We had put on a few miles in country that should have been inhabited by mountain goats rather than black tail deer. At the end of the day this great buck had earned my respect, not to mention ruining a pair of my boots! We earned this one.
