Great photos. Here's a few hunting ones from the other side of the world.

Thar like the steep stuff.

Wallabys are good fun.

Field Grade;
Top of the morning to you sir, I trust this 5th day of April finds you and yours well.

I really enjoy all the photos here - thanks for sharing yours.

We ran upon this "Idaho prairie dog" chasing mulies at about 5000' so fairly far up for our mountains and it was just above freezing too.


I hear you on the trespassers though...


Just out the front door


Same old boy on the back lawn


Then there's the ones who feel they should be inside when it's cold out...


We don't chase the yard herd ever - it'd be bad luck I figure so they get a pass.

Thanks again and have a good day all.

Dwayne

Thanks Dwane.......
That was the first time I'd seen a Toad in a Gofer hole so....being the easily facinated simpleton that I am I just had to get a pic....

I see your covered up with Deer too....I'll admit to taking one from the porch every 2-3 years but for the most part I leave the locals alone....I'd miss the fawns in the springtime if I were to thin em out too much....

Speaking of spring.....I better get off of here and do some yard work...later...

Bump to get back above the insanity...

Open sight day last summer...

Since then, my buddy has added an AHR tuned CZ (9.3x62) and he just got a nice Ruger African in .375 Ruger both of which he is leaving open sighted.

We both agreed it's a lot more fun, and challenging, doing field shooting offhand with irons.

MojoHand;
Good evening sir, I was going to comment on your eclectic and in my opinion interesting collection of rifles in the photo.

Being a Canuck, I've long had an affinity for Jungle Carbines and the No. 1 with a stutzen stock is about as pretty a long gun as one can find.

Been on a bear repellent kick this spring myself, so turned one of these Canuck built Lakefield Mossberg 500AB's from this.


To the bottom one here. Top one has served us/me for the last 42 years.


One of the parts suppliers I was using up here for Hi-Viz, No Bind followers and HD Springs had a sale on Turkish shotguns, so for the sake of science one ended up in the safe.


Anyway back with the random - this is up out of Revelstoke again.


This is looking into the Similkameen Valley with Washington State in the background from a mountain just west of us.


All the best to you this spring sir and thanks again for your photos.

Dwayne

FG,, thanks for the captions!

I'll keep this polite and not use the three letter euphemism so prevalent on other threads.

Honestly, to you and the others including some text with the pics,

A great big THANK YOU.

The bowl where I chased and lost the largest mule deer of my life. About 13k up, he won...



That said, not far from there a couple of days earlier I did manage this guy. Note a slight change in the weather.

AZ pics.

Elk rub w/ rifle for scale:



Do you see what I see?

This one heard my camera while taking pic of the other one (again, center of photo):



Close up, a bit blurry, I think shot thru binocs I think(?), bottom edge of bare spot.



For those not able to make it out,






Burro, face to the sun on a winter morning, 149 yds away, while I was looking for elk. That first pic of him is about what I could see with the naked eye, I just noticed something didn't look right.

My new prairie belt come in today! I'm happy!

Really nice rig there Kaywoodie.

405?

Geno

Thanks Geno

.30 US Army. With my fav 220 grain RN's!

I happened into the gunshop one day and the knife was on the shelf! NIB. End of USA production big 7" Marbles Ideal. Got it for a song. Took it home and fabricated a decent scabbard one evening.

Always wanted one in the British version of that round

Nearing retirement, I doubt I'll afford one if I run across it.

Thanks for the pics, way way cool stuff.

Geno

Thank you for the nice words!!! I love this old and old style stuff!

Someone on here was posting cactus pics, this one doesn't have flowers but what the hey.

Watch where you sit down while hunting elk in AZ:



This was a welcome sight on the last day of an elk hunt. Chilly morning and the wet spot was still warm. I followed the tracks for mile or more and lost them in the mix up with a herd of cattle tracks. No luck, but at least it got my heart pumping.



Same bed showing tracks leading out to the right, raw dirt in tracks hadn't even dried yet:



Geno

ehnm and krp,

How the heck are you two getting on the rez? (you can pm me, so no one else has to know )

Which by the way (to be a stickler about such things ) is the Fort Apache Indian Reservation where the White Mountain Apache Tribe lives (I did too, for a couple of years)

If I ever can get to the Tonto gig, we'll have to spin some yarns.

Three beauties at the beach:




Katie on the left, Valentine in the water, Jasmine on the top of the root wad.

Jasmine and Valentine are no longer with us. Katie will be 8 this year.

Swim meets are a passion.

This one in California:



This was a bit more local:
