man that is cool Blackhawk, I might have to let you guys see where I hunt now, great looking place man, bub
-
Thanks for the replies guys :)
Bubby I'd love to see your stomping grounds :D. Put some pics up ;)
A lot of locals call this region "almost heaven",and many locals believe to there core that its the best and only place to live on this whole earth...no joke...my wife grew up 20 miles as the crow flies from where I was...and my wife's folks shunned us because we live a couple hours north in another state..lol...people from west by god are very proud of where they live...

I can see why its received the name. That creek looks like something in my head as a perfect spot in the wild. You are very lucky to live near something so perfect. Never take that kind of beauty for granted.
Matt.
