I hadn't seen a 2015 compilation thread for everybody to post a quick pic and story on their punched tags. If I've missed it, my apologies for a duplicate.

I'll start out. First up my son's buck. Passed on him during the youth season, but regretted it after seeing the one funky tine. Found him again opening weekend and he made a good shot. Remington 700 sps youth, 243, 95 gr BT, 150 yards, pass through the lungs. He trotted 20-30 yards and expired. Also smoked the dog during the youth hunt. Same gun, 200 yards through the lungs as well, DRT.

Next, my buck. Old Remington 700 BDL, 30-06, 165 gr Hornady sp. First shot 275-300ish. Not sure. Broke the shoulder low, passed through but missed the heart. Second shot length of the body, in the culo, broke offside shoulder. Got 2 dogs prior in the day. Was a fun season!

Nice dude!


Tell BGG junior congrats!


Full on rut?

Your buck looks pretty damn healthy....

Very nice

Thanks man, will do!

Yeah, they just started the other day around here from I was seeing. But this dude was all by his lonesome. Passed on one similar to him the morning prior. Was kicking myself for almost 2 days. My BFF got a magic watch that tracks how far you walk, etc. Didn't feel like so much of a puzzy after seeing the data lol.

I haven't even really been out buck hunting yet but heard mulies were just starting.


Too frikken warm here today though, good fishing weather but I'm waiting until maybe Thursday to look around for a mule deer. That or slum a whitetail later on.


I hear you on the walking, takes a lot of looking to find a nice buck like you got!

Nice bucks!

B G G -

Very Nice !

Tell your son, alright! ain't bad! Go Dude!

Congrats to you too. Keep up the good work!

Jerry

Congrats

Great stuff BGG!

Those are some great deer and some great pics of your boy. Remember them forever.....

Congratulations

Congrats to you both. Nice bucks!!

Nice deer. Judging from the smile on the boy's face and the animals he's putting on the ground, you are raising him right. Keep up the good work.

Congrats to both Gruffs! Nice bucks.

Nice deer for sure BGG. The boy looks to be mighty happy as well. That's good stuff for sure.

I've taken a bull, buck mule deer, buck antelope and two doe antelope in Wyoming so far this year. I have been hunting mulies hard here in the Bitterroot the last week, seeing only 2x2s and such. Today is the last day for mulies around here, so if a spike shown himself this evening, he's going down.

WY bull


WY mulie


WY antelope



Not really big game, but I knocked the hell out of the sage-grouse this year


A few random dogs along the way too

A Bitterroot mulie I was within 5 yards of the other day. If he shows himself this evening he will die


I failed to kill a Himalayan Snowcock (though my hunting partner got one) in Nevada. They're not big game but the country they live in puts Mountain Goats to shame.

I also killed some big game in NZ last March. It was a grand time.





Glassing tahr country

Congrats BGG and Son!

Your boy looks like one happy hunter. Good shooting on both animals and tell him double good on the coyote.

Nothing like being along watching your own do it...

Well done!

Doesn't get better than that BGG. Congrats to you both.

When our youth are involved in hunting, it is the best. Congrats to both hunters.

Nice Like the Looks of those Mulies. Tell the Boy well done.

Way to go BGG and BGG Jr. My best huntin' memories will always involve my Pop, your boy will remember those forever!

Tanner

Nice pair of mulies you got there. You and your son did well.

Congrats BGG and LGG! Dandy bucks.

Inman- That's about a decade worth of big game for me. Well done! Those snowcocks live in some serious topography. And thanks for the help!

Congrats to you and your son!

BGG & Jnr,

Good stuff boys !

Tiny Dic,

You sir suck dog balls !

Great season !

Been tough 3 weeks here, hot as heck, for this time of the year !

After a tough start to the season, had success on Saturday morning, after a snow storm on Thursday night & Friday morning.









Happy Days & best of luck to all you guys too !

Thanks for all the kind words gentlemen, truly!

T Inman, that's a fuggin hell of a years worth of trophies dude! You get the mulie there in the 'root?

99's, love those dark horns. Nice whitey!

99, Very nice buck!!!

T. good work this year..

Gruff, Great job by both of you!! Next trip, I will have to meet your fine son!! Hope your good luck continues though the fall.. We are after birds right now.. Easier to pack out!!!! When I visit with him next I will RR to check out your photos here.. Have a good one, and keep Deflave in line..

Nope, the mulies absolutely outsmarted me, so I took an average 4x4 whitetail this morning. Pics are in the VBTE thread. Its the first whitetail buck I have killed in quite a while. I forgot how much smaller bodied they are. Much easier to get out...I may have to chase them more often.

You are welcome...glad you and Mark got into them out there...

Hey, you changed your name. I thought someone had stolen your avatar...

Sweetness, BGG.
Thanks for not posting any pics of yourself.
That beard of Zeus has too much power for some here......
Just look what it got that loner gay buck......

Anyway, tell Jr. nice work.

P.S. Tinman........SnowCOCK? Ok. I won't judge.

Is that some sort of racis' homophobic slur?

Yes.
Thanks for asking.
Slave









P.S. I failed to kill a Himalayan Snowcock (though my hunting partner got one in the ass).

Give Jnr a cuff around the head, for good measure !

You should visit you friends at the VBTE 11, more often.

Nice bucks BGG and BGG jr!! Junior is not so small anymore, looks like he is growing like a weed!!
