Hopefully this truck was not maintained on schedule or early. Apparently that don't fly round here.

Good looking truck. And yes some of us here have a nice comment for everything. Especially around happy hour...

Now here’s a real mf’n pick up truck.

We got back July 3 from a family vacation in Belize. We spent all but the last two full days/day we left on Caye Caulker, leaving early for the mainland because of the predictions at the time for Hurricane Beryl. It was predicted to hit our area the day we were leaving (7/3) before slowing down and changing course. I told my wife I'm not going to Caye Caulker and not going flats fishing. Everyone was on board with the plan, so I booked two boats with Chasin' Tail. Jacob and I were paired up in the other boat for our flats fishing day on Caye Caulker. This would be my 4th time chasing bonefish, my third time with a only a fly rod. Jacob and I worked out a deal that he had first chance at any tarpon we came across if I could have first chance at bonefish. He's hooked and jumped a tarpon, but never landed one. I've been through all three stages of tarpon fishing, and did it with my Orvis 9wt, so I get that he wanted to land one. We were in rolling tarpon right away, but casting a 12wt fly rod is tough. I've never cast a 12wt, so I can't blame Jacob for switching to spin gear quickly. Unfortunately, the tarpon weren't cooperating after the switch to spin gear/live bait, so we moved to the bonefish flats. I grabbed my Orvis 8wt, stepped up to the platform, and made sure our guide and I were on the same page for communicating fish locations and distances. Full disclosure: I've never been good at casting long distance with saltwater fly rods. It took a minute to find bones in the sea grass, but our guide called out 50-60 feet at 11 o'clock! I laid out a beautiful cast and remember thinking "I did it! There's my victory for the day!" Then a bonefish took my Crazy Charlie, but I missed the hookset. The tug got my heart racing, but I kept stripping and missed a second hook set on the same cast. I felt this one on better and even saw the fish off the bow. We moved around, looking for another school when it happened. I laid out another 60-foot cast, felt the take, and set the hook. I managed to pay out the line and let the fish take the reel. It’s true what they say about bonefish. They are smaller, but they are extremely powerful. It put up a helluva fight, made one reel-screaming run, and put a serious bend in my 8wt rod. We boated it, took some pictures, and (my favorite part), I was able to remove the fly and set it free myself. It barely left the water. I fought back every emotion I've ever had on this journey. I sat down, told Jacob it was his turn, and only left my seat again to help get him those longer casts. I found what I needed and wanted. I tried my best to make it about the fish, but I realized it never was and never will be. I spent the rest of the day, and a big part of the rest of the trip admiring that beautiful fish and all it stands for. We couldn't get the bones to cooperate for Jacob, despite our best efforts. We ended up going back to tarpon spots, where our guide handed me a spinning rod and told us both to cast out. Who am I to say no? Jacob caught a Spanish mackeral at our first stop and then hit the motherlode. A tarpon hit his line shortly after it hit the water, but the hook didn't get set. Jacob and the guide saw the tarpon jump, but I was busy admiring the bend in his rod and the sound of line peeling from the reel. Jacob got rebaited, cast back out, and was hooked up within minutes of his line hitting the water. It wasn't a tarpon, but he landed a nice Jack crevalle. He rebaited again, cast back out, and was hooked up again! Another, bigger Jack crevalle. It happened two more times with the rebaiting and hooking up within a couple of minutes of his bait hitting the water, landing a grey snapper and dogtooth snapper. All told, Jacob landed four fish within 20 minutes, all while my line was 20-30-feet from his line. I wasn't even upset. I had what I needed, and I never ever get tired of watching my kids find fishing success. My wife and daughter were in the other boat, and they had an awesome day on the water, too. My wife never fails to amaze me. Their boat stopped for bait for tarpon on spin gear, and my wife hooked up instantly. She hooked into and landed a 50-60", 60-lb tarpon! I'd have loved to see that play out. Sydney got some fly-casting pointers and cast to and landed a nice bonefish! Syd caught a few snapper, too. Minnie has now landed one more tarpon than I have (2 total for her) and both of hers really showcase how mine is considered a baby tarpon. Sorry for the sideways pics. This always happens to me and I don't know how to make it not do that.

Don't we go camping to get away from stuff ??

I have friends that use Starlink at home in rural areas and are very pleased with it. I parked my trailer in one of their driveways for a deer hunt and used their Starlink, but that's not really the same as being mobile with it in deer camp. I've heard of some folks using it in camp (Kaibab bison guide Russ Jacoby for one) and pleased with it as well, and I've seen a lot of positive comments on RV forums too. I think the most common issue at least on the RV forums was some line-of-sight issues depending on antenna location and trees/mountains/etc...all those satellites Elon launches have surely helped with that. I think another issue with the RV folks is the mobile plan having more restrictions and having to recalibrate (I don't know if that's the correct terminology) when changing locations. If internet in camp is what you want, I definitely think Starlink is the best provider based on what I've read.

Congrats!

I figured some grumpy dude would ask that. I checked the Day of, after and 2 other times. Plus the credit card check for a week. Wasn't there Friday because my son check all are portails. Credit card shows last Thursday. Does that help any. I'm going to the fricken BAB.. The last time I hunted there I shoot the buck in my avatar..

So I was checking my bonus points for some reason, I noticed I only had 2 bonus points for deer but I should have 7 now . WTF. Were going to the BAB. Check your chit...

Does changing your oil too often hurt the vehicle? Asking for a friend?

Sold .. To a very good member on here who ask me not to share His name. This was a first for me. I was asking 4800 and He gave me 5200 . Very stand up Guy. Said I was two low on the price. And gave me 400 more. Thanks..

It upsets me even more when a hard working guy like Terry has this happen to him. The truck has been at my home many times while Terry has done tile work for me. Its more than just a truck it's a tool for Terry. This is how he makes his living. DAMNTHE SONS A BITCHES THAT DID THIS. Please help spread the picture of Terry’s truck around the internet.

Should be a good tag! Spent most of my life in those hills but cant seem to draw even the easy tags now. Beautiful country you will not forget. Keep in mind less than 1 percent of all hunters will ever kill a 100 inch buck in their lives. Some others may kill a stack. You get out of it what u put into it. Coues meat is very good. Depending on where you hunt, you may or may not meet up with the dreaded shin daggers. Glass a lot and be prepared for no rut activity. Hopefully you may see some early but don't count on it. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Cant leave your camp unattended for 3 days, but sounds like your talking about showing up before hunt. Couple days sound goods.

I had Hunter come out and work on my 2015 ram 2500, he came out quick and diagnosed the problems. He has since been out a couple times to do some work for me and he is very knowledgeable and also reliable. He is a great tech and I wouldn't bother calling anyone else for my truck. Thanks Hunter for everything brotha.
