For the last four years the Charter members of the HOY7 hunting team have made the pilgrimage to the mighty Deschutes River in central Oregon.  This year will be no different.  Well, maybe a little different.  Cliffy has purchased a new boat for the excursion this year.  The old drift boat has been replaced by a self bailing raft that has been guaranteed to carry more gear while at the same time keeping our feet constantly wet.  Good job Cliffy.

Years past have brought us many fine opportunities to catch fish, (but we didn't).  We also have seen many scenic and picturesque views of the canyon walls and lush shoreline vistas.  And of course the chance to shoot cans hanging from trees and laying on nearby obstacles.  And camaraderie. Always the camaraderie.

So it's with anticipation, and a litte bit of concern for my liver, that I head out tomorrow morning for the  great state of Oregon.  We at the H7Ht hope to bring you the best in pictures and commentary about our adventures and potential disasters in order to keep you entertained.  In the meantime enjoy this picture that I think sums up last years trip.

Mighty we are.
