I say you're messing with us. That king has some white white color to it and aberrancy on the neck. More like something you'd find in SoCal. Maybe its the camera, though.

Actually, if there are kings like that there in your part of the woods, I would not mind checking it out. Congrats in your lifer, Josh! :D Come up here and find some with me.

Looks like it has some war wounds. Those things can take a beating. I found this old old king with all sorts of scars and missing parts. lol It was a survivor to be sure.

Great find , Josh. :) Looks like you found a spot to place some boards.

no messing! it was just cruising across the trail! and no, it wasn't the camera-it was really that white.

it's in a park... i don't think they'd appreciate me driving my truck out there and dropping some boards

if you get some time off during the week, i'll come up. i can't leave on the weekends-i need the money!
