It's been a long time since you have heard an update on the history of Jenny X. Today is a banner day at the ole HOY7 hunting team blog because we now have some photographic proof that Jenny is on the move again. All I have for information is that his new dog has the name of Ruger, so I'll make up the rest.

"Today Paula and I went to pick up our new puppy Ruger. We paid $7,777 for the right to put a purebred golden retriever puppy in our New Hampshire estate in the charming hamlet of Jennyville. (Named for me because of my total dominance of all things killin'.) Not only does our new retriever have the papers to prove he is a duck retrieving machine but he is also capable of pooping on those papers and looking great at the same time. When we first took him home he immediately brought me my slippers and a copy of the New York Times while I smoked my pipe and sat in my Heffner-like bathrobe. Good dog! We love him more than the Brother and Bubba Kuehl combined.

Next week his training begins. Paula shoots 3 1/2" shells over my head and I throw fresh greenies into the neighbors yard where young Ruger is expected to go and get them. I have confidence that he will properly retrieve the greenie and not their cat. Soon enough he will be in the Cabellas catalouge (take that Harley) and chillin' with the local bitches.Yep, it's going to be easy being Ruger, if only he could be as cool as his Puppy Daddy."

Well there you have it, another reason why it is soooooooo good to be Jenny X.

P.S. check out Jennys hat. If you pay attention to the history of Jenny X you will notice that Jenny has the same dumb-ass hat in every wintertime blog post you see. Good thing he saves his riches for the important things in life, like a nice two footer.

Today I will put forth the photographic proof that it was Jenny X. who created the Izod trend. In this archival photo we can clearly see Jenny wearing the precursor to the Izod alligator shirt. Not being one to be satisfied with the 'Polo' shirt Jenny added a small reptile to his chest and launched a legend.

Of course wearing an actual reptile was too hardcore for most shirt wearers of the day. So the Izod company, following Jennys' lead, decided to sew a small reptile to their production garments. Not wanting to claim the royalties Jenny allowed the idea to spread to the people of the world where it continues today.Jenny X. master of fashion.

So endeth the lesson of Jenny X.

The history of Jenny X. part IX

Style Watch 1989Many of you know all about the many facets of Jenny X. But I bet there's one thing you didn't know. Back in the 80s it was Jenny who started the craze of wearing cat-eye sunglasses and Gilligan hats. This look was stolen from him and eventually became a must for all stylish people the world over. From Rob Lowe to Ronald Reagan, everyone had 'the look' started by one simple man.

In this photo, taken at the height of the craze, even the famous snowboard legend Brother B. Hopf has copied the style. Styles come and styles go but one thing remains the same: Jenny X, master of all fashion.

Todays lesson harkens back to one of our previous lessons. As you regular readers know Jenny X has a shiny Browning over-under shotgun. The gun of champions. The gun that neither of us have. The expensive and pretty kind made in Belgium.

Anyway. It is with this gun that Jenny has decided to put all other marksmen to shame. That's right John Wayne, Jenny is now the champ. As evidenced by this picture there is now only one man huge enough to make the claim of 'Worlds Greatest Shot'. (Actually there are three gentlemen to Jennys left that are showing off the trophies they won. The first guy held the Browning when Jenny needed to take a shot of wikki, the second picked up his shells and the third made Ham and Cheese sandwiches. For these acts of bravery they also got trophies.)

After receiving the award and speaking with the local news media it was off to Cabo for a little R&R. While there Jenny gave a clinic to American sharpshooters on their way to track down Osama Bin Laden, give em hell boys. Thanks Jenny X for being the best damn trap shooter alive!

So endeth the lesson of Jenny X.

The history of Jenny X. part V
Many of you may know Jenny X. only as the great hunter and master of camoflage that he is. But did you also know Jenny is a world class skier too? That's right, he is known around the west as one of the greatest Big Mountain skiers to have ever straped on the boards. Here's some background.After spending his childhood on such big mountain terrain as Ski Campgaw,

"Whether you're coming from the George Washington Bridge, the Tappan Zee or the Long Island Expressway, Campgaw Mountain puts you in the thick of winter action in less time than it takes to drive across town! We're conveniently located just seconds from Route 202 in scenic Mahwah, New Jersey."

Jenny graduated to the agressive trails of Pico and eventually Stratton mountains. Completing his dominance of the Vermont hills the next move was to the Continental Divide and the surrounding peaks of Colorado.It was here that Jennys skiing took on a new phase. The more challenging terrain pushed the envelope of what a small town kid from Jersey was capable of. It was here, in Breckenridge, that the man formerly known as Jenny became Jenny X.

Ladies and gentlemen it's true, the X stands for X-treme. Once Jenny X skis a slope, it's his forever.Take a good look at this photo. No sunglasses, big hair = big air, jeans and a sweatshirt. The essence of X-treme.

I think we all know about the many passions of Jenny X. But did you know Jenny also participates in the Bass Anglers Sportsmans Society anual fishing derby? This years winner of the BASS tournament is none other than Jenny X. As no text accompanied this photo I will do my level best to describe the days events.

"I woke up extra early this morning and went to the BASS tournament. I have won the thing 24 times already but figured I might give it another try. Preparing myself for the day with a few shots of vodka and a suitcase of beers, I boarded the yacht and made my way to the center of the lake. My first cast hit the water and I pulled up the winner shown in this pic.

"Being that I knew I had the thing wraped up already I downed 16 of the 24 beers and took a nap. When I woke up my yacht had drifted over to the Maxim 'Hot 100' party and I shared my remaing beers with supermodels Giselle and Heidi Klum. They gave me a 4 hour massage and and I returned to the dock in time to get my trophy. Not bad for a paid sick day I took off from work."

Well, there you have it. Just another day in the life.

So endeth the lesson of Jenny X.

What A Big Mouth...and That Fish!

The history of Jenny X. part VI

The X stands for EXTREME.
Regular readers of this blog know that Jenny is, among other things, a master of camoflage the proud owner of both a canoe AND an over-under & the best shot at his local gun club. But did you know that Jenny X is also the world record holder in the 1992 Big Air contest at Breckenridge?

This is photographic proof that Jenny can throw down the nose bleeds when it matters. His massive 6 to 8 inches of air may seem paltry today but back in those days that was EXTREME.

If memory serves after booting this humungous Scott Schmidt iron cross tip drop monster, he was asked to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Being the understated player he is, he turned them down. But now you all know. This photo proves who the baddest mofo on the mountain really is.So endeth the lesson of Jenny X.

History Of Jenny X Part III

Building a blind requires time and effort. Here we see a blind built and maintained by the 'Master of Camoflage' Jenny X himself. In the pacific flyway we have to completely conceal ourselfs and all of the equipment we bring along (chairs and wikki) lest the ducks see us and make a hasty retreat. We also must constantly put new grasses and willows or cornstalks on our blinds to try to remain out of sight. Not Jenny X. His calling and shooting are so good that he can remain in the open like this and still bring them in. On the day I was here we shot no ducks but I'm sure Jenny brings down flocks of ducks when I'm not around. Perhaps it was my non-expert presence that kept them away, or the fact that I am not a 'Master of Camoflage' as he is.

The Legend Of Jenny X

The Legend of Jenny X started a long time ago in the small mountain town of Breckenridge. It began with a season long couch surfer and blossomed into one of the great stories of a tree stand havin', pickup truck drivin', gunsafe in the basement, New Hampshire redneck. No time for that story now, maybe more later, but since I'm into poetry according to my profile I have written this poem as an ode to Jenny X. Jenny Jenny who can I turn to?For the price of a dime I can always turn to you. I know you think that I'm like all the others before,Who saw your name and number on the wall.508-361-8406508-361-8406.

Jenny X Part II

Jenny has a canoe. If you have a canoe and water close by your house you too can paddle right out to the hunting blinds you set up. If however you are like the rest of us and don't live in rural B.F. New Hampshire, you must drive long distances and deal with others using the blind you spent all that time building. Also if you have a canoe you can fold a duck waaaaay out there and jump in said canoe to retrieve your duck. If you don't have one you get to only shoot close in and wade out to your duck. Better hope it's dead too or else you may find yourself chasing that duck into the bushes. Finally if you have a canoe you can paddle out to a place away from other people, but if you don't, be prepared for that guy 100 yards away with a stupid dog named Angel running aroung in the water.I also know that a canoe costs money. Not if you're Jenny X. You go to a D.U. dinner and buy two or three tickets to the raffel and walk with a canoe AND a Benelli Nova.So endeth the lesson of Jenny X. part II.

The History Of Jenny X Part IV

Jenny has an over-under. Most of us in the 'average guy' world don't have an over-under. This is because we live in the normal places that people live, like cities and towns. If however, you live in B F New Hampshire you NEED an over-under. You need one because you have not one but two gun clubs within an easy drive of your house. Gun clubs are great because they allow you to shoot trap, skeet, indoor range, outdoor range and other types of shooting as well. This is where the over-under comes into play. You could go shooting with your hunting gun or something like it but then people might not think you are cool enough to be in their club, so you have a pretty Browning over-under. This is cool. For a little money you get to go shoot at unlimited clay pigeons thrown from a voice activated trap house and this helps you become a better shot when the ducks come by in the fall. Yep, Jenny has an over-under.Fred and I have it a little different. We drive an hour plus out to the back woods of Hood River. Then we take turns using the hand thrower to launch clay pigeons into the bursh while the other person tries to shoot them down. Sometimes other cars drive past in a cloud of dust and suspicion. Eventually we run out of clays and ammo and then it's time to drive back home. One time our truck almost died on the dusty back roads and we barely made it home. (Oh yea, Jenny has a Hemi Dodge too) Most importantly, neither of us have an over-under. So endeth the lesson of Jenny X.
