Chopper you run one heck of a operation and I will surly miss hunting, and visiting with you. Well see you that first weekend in may for one last go at it.

I am sure you made the decision you feel was right to make, good for you. I sure will miss the place! Good luck Chopper!

Chopper - I hunted with you a couple/three times before you went archery only - once it was a group of us from Oscar's forum - Tim, Tyson, Dan, etc. I even shot my first pig there with your rifle, as mine would not extract the round.... (And NO, I was not the reason he changed!!!) We had a helluva great time, and loved your ranch. You take care of your family.

Chopper:

We have yet to meet. However, your reputation preceeds you and it's a great one. I'm looking forward to meeting you in April. I wish happy days ahead for you and your family. My hat is off to you!

[THE ROMAN ARCHER]

Chopper, thank you for providing the best archery only privite property in Ca. to hunt free ranging wild boars of trophy class! the best part of hunting your place is sharing the passion of hunting wild boars with other jHO members and friends and hanging out with you! since the first time i hunted your place i have truley felt that your outstanding premium property

is worth the price of addmission alone( very

heavenly). you are a good friend to me, and i really look forward more then ever to my mothers day weekend hunt now, (we will all be surrounded by wild

boars and it will be like custards last stand!)

Chop, April Fool's Day in NEXT month

So this is our "Fini Flight"? Man, gonna miss that place. My blind blown into the creek and frozen like a popsicle on the turkey opener. Westy and Orso actually rasing the cabin roof with their snoring like in the cartoons. Smacking ground squirrels with the bow. Lookin out the back door over the bay. Stepping off the knob at the cabin with Orso for the first time, trad bows in hand, into that canyon below.

I've got some video around here somewhere of one hunt. For some reason I can't find any pics of our hunts there.

Thank you Chopper for the wunnerful memories

 

[rwlittle]

Holy crap!!

I just now discovered that you were closing your doors. Bud, you are doing it for all the right reasons. Thanks for giving us bow hunters some of our best memories and experiences. I was fortunate enough to have met the late great Dolly and have been lucky enough to harvest a nice pig out of that wonderful place. Chopper, the next Crown Royal with a shot of Pepsi is on me.

Ron.
