    So, Holli flew back to Camp Geiger in North Carolina yesterday. Now comes the really amazing part of the story. She not only got through Marine Basic...she beasted it! She qualified for an experimental program, where girls are attempting to complete Infantry Training. So far, 88 girls have...

    Holli's Story

    Holli told me that backcountry hunting really helped her get through basic. The qualifying march with the 60 pound pack was killer for some of those girls. Holli told me "they do not know how to wear their packs correctly", and "this was nothing compared to the hikes we did, Dad...it's all...

    Holli's Story

    We flew her home with us to NorCal. She had several things she wanted to cross off her bucket list on her 10 Day leave...a quick trip to L.A. to see Family, and a drop-in soccer game on Super Bowl Sunday when she got back to Redding.

    Pigs were a no show the second night...but I got to see a herd of Whitetail come into bow range right before dusk, with two bucks in tow. An awesome experience for me, having only hunted out West! We finished off our trip with the rifle range the next morning, my daughter got to show off her...

    Turns out these pigs were leading a charmed life. We went in the next day to check the cornpiles, and the ground was littered with pig tracks. They had eaten hundreds of pounds of corn over the last month, but they avoided the cornpile with the trail cam on it!

    Instead of going straight home...we headed up into Northern SC to a buddy's hunting lease. The only rental car available when we got there was a Suburban...here's a pic of my Wife driving "the Beast"! Got there just in time for a night pig hunt from some baited stands (I brought our bows/...

    Holli's Story

    After hanging out with us for a few hours, we had to give her back. We watched them in formation as they did a rehearsal drill on the parade field. The snap and focus was quite impressive! Who's kid is that??? Next Day was the formal Graduation Ceremony. Just so impressive all the way around...

    I'm relatively new to Rokslide, and a new Rokslide Sponsor. This is my first thread submission, but it's one of those things I feel I need to tell the whole World about. This story is about the accomplishments of a young woman who happens to be a huntress, and my Daughter. As a Proud Father, I...
