Got my first muzzleloader elk 3rd day of season. BIG GIRL!!!!! I'm 5'11" 230.




Got her to the truck the old fashon way, in pieces. 250 pounds quartered, backstraps and some loose meat



Then I was reduced to camp grouse hunter.




Here are some geese and my red eyed possesd hunting dogs.





Some puddlers and my pointer's first pheasant (flush and retrieve)

You look like you were having a good time. How come big guys always tell us how big they are?
Little Guy

HA big guys?

Great pics. I last hunted big game in sept of 06 with my bow in NM. I cant wait to go after some elk again. I have never shook so hard as when i was trying to draw on a bull
looks like a good season.

CrazyTom I wasn't trying to itimidate or brag about my size. I was just giving the size comparison of the animal. How come little guys think their always being picked on?

Thanks D3. I used to bowhunt elk for years. Never got to draw on a bull because one never seemed to be around when I had a permit. When I didn't have a permit, they seemed to be everywhere (usualy the case). I bowhunt for deer every season and your heart pumps and hands shake drawing on a nice deer as well.

Like J7 said it's to make our fish and animals look bigger......but you smaller guys got it made cause your dinguses look bigger

We used to go to NV every year in highschool to chase high country mule deer. If you guys have ever seen the video of Dwight Schue in NV it is the same country. Big deer and lots of fun. I can;t wait to get back down there.

I know, I have a to actually stand in front of the animal so it doesn't just look like a picture of an animal sleeping.

Nice work! That's a pretty cool pic. Were you using any calls?

Thanx fishtuff. I use calls for the waterfowl.

NIce work.....

I like the end of season highlight pics...looks like you had a good time. One of my season highlights was shooting a buck off my deck...

I had a great time this season. Its always great to get out with the dogs. I get more of a kick sometimes watching them hunt than I do bagging a bird.

Thats looks like nice buck (fat neck). At least you changed into some hunting cloths for the picture. I'm sure you were still in PJ's and the coffee wasn't done yet when you knocked him down. HA HA. NIce job.

Check out D3smartie's pics if you want to a good bird day (down a couple of posts).

I had a hangover, that would've killed two ordinary men....

Knew I was forgetting something I killed last year...more highlights:

Very, Very nice Bro Dave.
That Sable is gorgeous.
Great photos.

Africa is really starting to grow on me.
You Paradise boys are doing it big.
Sal.

Uncle Jim's sable smokes mine, but they were both a good time. Unfortunately, I believe the heads/capes were lost before hitting the shores of the US....oh, well.

Hard to beat Zim, for a good time, cost-wise and for variety of available game...

Every once in a while African capes pop up here.
Keep tabs on this site & you might get lucky.
