I got a deer lease near Juno a few years ago. After meeting some people that knew the area I started learning a little bit about the country, and heard a lot of stories about the Devils River. I did a little research on it, and decided I wanted to do a river trip. It took about two years to find people I trusted enough that were willing and able to make the trip with me and I finally did it last weekend.

We survived off beef jerky, crackers, fish we caught from the river, water we purified from the river, coffee we made from the river, and whiskey. We slept on the ground, turned our cell phones off, and enjoyed every minute of it for three days. It was absolutely the best adventure of my life.

Here are some of my favorite pictures.

If ducks had horns I'd probably be a duck hunter.
I am a horrible deer hunter. Probably the worst. Ever.

looks like he's using filters Sapper. Even most phones have them or if you load onto PB they have some basic filters as well. His pics came out great even more so the perspective he took them from.

There's a handful of APPS on my phone that I use. Just depends on the light and background and stuff what I do to them. Some of these didn't have anything done to them. Most of them are stills taken from GoPro videos. The GoPro shoots HD video with a lot of frames per second so the image quality is outstanding, which is really what matters the most to start with.

Awesome pics. I floated the Devil back in the mid 90's with 4 friends. Most fun I have ever had even to this day. I would love to do it again.

Great job.

Lying is lying. Don't bitch about one doing it and condone another. That's called hypocrisy.

We put in at Baker's Crossing. We went 23 miles down river and got out at Gerald Bailey's house. He has an awesome house built into a cliff overlooking the river, and he runs a shuttle service and rents kayaks and canoes.

The water is super clear, and gets a little murky in some places, just depends on where you are at. Some places you can look down and see fish clear as daylight swimming in water 10-15 feet below you.
