We all found gold, I found mine right off the bat, a 6.7 DWT and Shep found a couple smaller ones, my uncle found a little 1/2 Grammer. Mines going to be mounted for me as a necklace. Skunks gone.

shep Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well, being in the Army, never on schedule; couldn't wait till 1:32! BUT gotta say, when he kicks the skunk out, he does it in style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Dave, it was about 8 inches, and it was just a wisper. Very hard hunting over there because of all the brush and some hot rocks. It was a great day for sure. My uncle and Shep are both a pleasure to hunt with. Great guys both of them.

Admin nuggethunting Posted September 24, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hello Grubstake, Well I guess if you're going to dodge the skunk, a 1/3 ouncer is the way to do it! Congrats on another beautiful piece of California gold. Good to hear your Uncle and Shep also scored some nuggets. Leaverite and I got out and found (9) nuggets total, but nothing like yours. Were you able to rides the quads up there again, or did you have to hike it? Did you find the nugget with the Coiltek Wallaby or Platypus? Talk with you soon,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Shep took his quad, so we made two trips. The Wallaby this time. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well Grubstake,When you kick the skunk out, you do it in style.I am sure it was a pleasure not to have to spend a huge amountof energy hoofing it up your hill too.Nice going all...Flak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yeh David, riding is a big + going up that hill, when you get there in 10 minutes instead of an hour and 15 min. you still have energy to detect.
