This is a Monster 4 point with a cheater or 2 my brother-in-law took a picture of on some dudes ranch.

This is a little film we made when we were bored one day, starring the kids...enjoy!

My friend Jeff got a late season tag for archery.  The deer was 80 yards away and running up a hill when he shot it in the butt.  We tracked it a bit, but kept jumping it so we waited until the next morning to see if we could find it.

The blood trail wasn't easy to find, but we saw a few drops here and there and followed the best we could.

We lost the trail and were looking on the ground for more blood.  My brother yelled that he had found some more and was looking at the ground.  I looked further up the hill about 20 yards and yelled "there's the deer!"  It was a small 4 point, but Jeff was happy to get the meat.

Heres a little set that I found a few miles west of my house.  I found the first side just seconds before my brother would have seen it.  We walked around the hill for a while and came back a different way.  My daughter left her jacket by the first shed I found and Jon went to find it.  Not 10 feet from where I was standing, he found the other side.  As a rule, he gave it to me to keep the set together.

Dew is holding 4 point and a three point we found another time.  If she could hold and play with them all day, she would.

My brother and I hiked the mountains for 8 straight days trying to find the herd.  We saw a lot of tracks but didn't see any elk.  The last day of the hunt just before dark, we finally came across this spike just 30 yards off the road.  All that hiking and tracking was hard, we were just happy that this one was put in our hands, even though it was just a spike.

It was so close to the road that we were able to lift it into the truck without quartering it.

My brother and I went out west in the desert and found these sheds.

That's a six point elk shed that Brody's holding, too bad we couldn't find the other one.

The ones I'm holding up to Brody's head is a 5 point set.  It was so awesome shed hunting.  I think I am getting addicted.

My Brother got this buck about 2 miles from his house in an alfalfa field.  It scores a 180 and this is the biggest buck that he has ever gotten, so he is going to mount it on his wall.  Why did I choose to go back to Cedar after archery season?  Ya I'm dumb.

In the Caves...

This bunch of fish are usually in caves and under coral.

These Palani were only down about 15 feet, but I had to suck in and squeeze to fit into the cave to get em'

Check out the knarly teeth on this "Bloomfish"

The "Bloomfish" is supposed to be really good to eat.  Kekona said that if cooked right, can taste like the best lobster you have ever had!  We'll see if it is...he likes to pull stuff out of his butt.

kiss...kiss

I was supposed to get Drew and Brody a blue fish, a pink fish and a red fish.  I managed with the red and the blue, but no pink.  Sorry Drew!  But she looks like she'll be fine.

More fish that Noelle won't let me cook at home.

Noelle and I finally got to dive Sharks Cove.  Here's Noelle going through a cave.

See that blue spot on the top right?  Noelle thought she could go through it easy but scratched herself on the chest.

Diving down.

This is a cool cave.  You swim down about 30 feet and zigzag your way out to the ocean.  It's a scary one because of how black it is down at the bottom.

That's a monster blue.  Paxton shot another one, that suck'a.

Another tailgate picture of all the fish.

Here I am trying to lift all the fish for a shot.

That's better.

Those huge fish make Aaron look pretty small.  Really though, those Uhu are humongous. 

"I dare you to touch one." 

"No you touch one"

Drew tried to be a man so she could be on the blog... 

...but here's a real boy!

Swinging at Kahana Bay.

Hot Mama!

Look At This Uhu!

In Hawaiian this fish is known as an Uhu.  It's a Stareyed Parrotfish.  I gave it to an Indian/Fijian couple in our ward that made a delicious curry out of him.  They were nice enough to let me have a taste since Noelle doesn't like fish.  I gave myself a nice pat on the back.

A Good Day!

My work buddies and I were able to catch these fish in a spot that is usually really dirty.  

Thats me in a wet suit.  It's a good thing I wasn't showing my bottom half, cuz you boys would be jealous

Some of the smaller ones I got.  

My buddy Kekona caught the red one and it is the best kind of goat fish you can get, and to get one that big is rare.  The blue parrot fish was caught by my friend Paxton, its a good one too.

This is a hybrid parrot fish

That morning I told Drew that I was going out to get her a fish.  She said that she wanted a pink fish.  I told her I would get her a pink fish.  I was so happy when I saw this one in a cave.  She was so happy when I brought it home, but it took her a while before she would hold it.
