Enjoying Sunny Days in Puerto Rico and Dropping Iguanas

[Papy_Yosh]

Hey all,

My son and I are enjoying our AGs dropping some iguanas in PR. Today was our first day and my son shot the biggest 5'7" good size one and that huge one with his bare hands, a mini tiny gecko. We dropped around 50 of them today and pull 18 back together. It is a harsh place as soon as you get away of the path. The thorns are huge and they are freaking painful. For now I only have that pic. I just have pics of my son and his first and biggest one. I am not sure posting pics with him is ok, so I didn't. As a Newb on forums, I didn't want to do things I shouldn't. I will have some pics without him by tomorrow.

That taipan veteran must be shootin good to hit em that size! Hows the cheek rest and the mag holders working out in the field?

Sounds like quite the adventure/safari.

Have fun!

I don't think posting pics of your kids shooting air rifles goes against anything here.

Let's see some more pics!!

Man the mag holders are awesome. I just have two of them and I should have had more mags and holders on my gun. today was a good field test. I love that you can just fill them up while on the gun.

The cheek piece helped too. that was nice to have a lot more welcoming than the square metal breech. the tape on the back breech didn't move at all with the 85F today.

Some of my wife’s family lives in Jayuya (I think that’s how you spell it). Up in the mountains in Puerto Rico, and it is beautiful. And those iguanas get HUGE. Looks like he’s enjoying his time. Go grab some guava and cheese pastries and Puerto Rican coffee. IMHO, some of the best coffee you can get.

Eric,

I'm glad to see your trip is off to a great start! Keep the pics coming, so we can pretend we are out there with ya'll.

Great pics!

Your son looks like he's on cloud nine. He will remember that trip forever. Good job Dad.

I agree on that camo, probably blends right in on the lava fields for rockchuck hunting.

Thanks for sharing your memories.

Looks like a great time. Trying to talk the wife into going, but she wants to go on a cruise instead. Working on changing her mind.

Have fun.

Another day hunting and as a bad dad, I didn't take any pics. we were too busy shooting and trying to retrieve the big ones. Today was better in term of sizes but not quantities.I should be able to post more pics tomorrow after the last hunt. we should be getting our pics from everyone.

More to come

There is nothing better then taking the kids out hunting...I still remember the first Dove hunt with each boy when they were about 12 years old and now they are 25 and 21....Oldest is married and lives in Arizona and the youngest is a Junior in College in Reno.....Times does speed up so take those pictures so you can look back on that day.....
