Talking hunting with geedubya the other night and discussing the virtues of different states and what they have to offer in regards to hunting. G from Texas and me from Montana, we had a good dialogue, although he wouldn't agree with me that Montana was better.

We talked about grand slams of turkeys and sheep. Although I will never accomplish either, I told him I had gotten the big 10 of Montana and he said I should publish it here on the campfire. I haven't ever been big on chasing trophies as much as what guns I could use in the attempt to get big game animals. I will admit when It came to drawings, I was looking for trophy animals.

I have been fortunate enough to have gotten all 10:

Elk
Moose
Bighorn Sheep
Goat
Cougar
Antelope
Mule deer
Whitetail deer
Black bear
Grizzly bear

Cool

That's a lifetime of accomplishment, well done. You might consider trying your hand at blacktails.

👍👍

Great accomplishment.

Cool set of headgear on the goat (antelope).

Very cool, shrapnel. Thanks for sharing.

Which was the best eating?

Space didn't allow for all the pictures. Here is the hide and head of the Grizzly...

Best eating is always subjective. Probably the moose or sheep. I can tell you with all certainty though, the grizzly and the goat aren't worth the trouble. You couldn't even stir the soup made from either one...

Nice job. Probably not many can make that claim.

I am at 4 and have many times passed on the opportunity to take a black bear to get my number to 5.

Hoping to add at least a sheep to the mix. The other species I have never had a great aspiration to go after. Moose is starting to be a little more intriguing these days. But with what it takes to draw, probably won't happen.

That's very cool. Quite an accomplishment.

Buzzy oughta be by soon with his pics of 87 elk to one up you.

Buzz will alwys try to land on top, but he doesn't realize you don't land there, you have to climb there...

Stirring must have let the stink out. 🤥

Never hit the powerball though, about the same odds as some of those tags.

Very cool. Congratulations

No bison on the list?

Or a wolverine?

Shrapnel; that’s a hellva big deal man. But wht did u ship the buffalo? How man did you take with one or more of your lever guns or other BP cartridges. Don

Not considered big game the same as the 10 listed. The grizzly is no longer available eaither, I got it a long time ago...

Got Buffalo as well, again, a very limited draw and not on the original Big 10 list...

Ahah: Noticed you were a much younger man in some of the photos! As some one else posted u perhaps should be playing the power ball with your luck, odds to draw on some those tags are slim. Grats again and keep at it!

Drawing odds are something I was lucky with. I got my sheep in 1990 with less than 3 years applying. The Goat was in 1992 or 1993 with less than 3 years applying. My first moose, however, was 25 years, my second was 13 years the second time.

Pictures do show the time differetial in getting those animals...

Heck of an accomplishment, well done.

Cool thread.

Good for you, great state to live and be able to hunt all these critters.

I met a tile setter in Alaska that said he moved there temporarily to hunt, in ten years he shot everything available including Musk ox and bison.

Congrats btw.

Two moose tags, wow! The moose pictured looks like a darn good bull, got to be 50” plus. I got lucky here in wy. Too and drew moose, goat , and sheep. Fun playing that lotto game isn ‘t it. How’s big Mike B doing?

Mike V not B

Cool Feat shrapnel, Congratulations!

Nice Bison and Good size Grizz. Was that shot on the Grizz the first and final round or a finishing-off shot?

Still 10, with wolf available; 1 think you need 1, or 20.

CONGRATULATIONS! Shrapnel

One shot with a 25-35…

Love the pics. Congrats on a really great accomplishment.

Yes yes...we are all so very proud of you.

Great job Shrap!!

Quite an accomplishment. Congratulations and thank you for sharing the pics.

Nice animals. Thanks for the pics

That definitely gave him/her an attitude adjustment lol

You saved many elk calves, from a horrible death!

Congrats Shrap,,,,,,,,,,,awesome accomplishment!

Saw this on a real hunting forum about ol scrapnel.


Don’t remember who posted it but damn funny.

Went something like this:


“A guy would break his neck falling from scraps ego and landing on his IQ”

LOL

Guess ol scrap isn’t so popular on other forums.

Giving Losttrail60 a little break?

It must sting knowing that you've never killed any of those animals and are jealous of Shrap.


Ouch.

Ur a phaagut on this one get fuqkd🖕

Hahaha!

He switches sock puppets to follow Shrap around to try and pick up a little attention!

Poor thing. Sitting in a single wide in Polson.

While you have your head up your ass, look and see if you can find Buzz up there too...

Well....some of Buzz is up there.....not gonna say what part.

👀

Hey Tommy Boy, killing them is the easy part you dumb sum bieotch. Getting the permit is the hard part. If you were a hunter you would get that.

I have killed everything scapnal has except the griz.

All on public land.


But you wouldn’t understand since you don’t hunt.


LoL

You still fat, drunk and broke?

Picsoritneverhappened

Congrats on a great accomplishment!

Would have to be some great memories made! Nice pics....Congrats!! Thanks for sharing!

That's a heck of a pile of big stuff. I'd be willing to bet that the total weight of all the p-dogs and gophers Shrapnels shot would out weigh them. 4 or 5 thousand of those little buggers a year add up.

Not to worry buddy. It never happened. Don't hold your breath.



There isn't any deer around the trailer parks of Polson.

Nice game.

You have done good over the years.

Fuqkn phaagut loser 🤣😂

Fortunate soul for sure,congratulations on a lifetime of trophies.I lived in Texas my whole life.Everytime I've left,its hunting season that brings me back and keeps me here.But it's no match for what Montana can offer if your backyard sits in the right places.Happy hunting to u both!Looks like it's your passion too.Thanks for sharing,hell of an accomplishment.

Well done. I suck. 4/10 is all I can claim. Cool that you shot the buff with a Sharps. If I can ever draw, I plan on taking my 1886 45-90 for the hunt.

Cool
Congrats Shrap

You can hunt Moose in Canada every year. If you want to shoot one this is doable for most anyone.

Killed 9 of the 10 in Montana about a month before I turned 30. Shoulda coulda woulda on grizzlies. Applied for the spring tags the last couple years they had a season in the early 90's. Should have hunted them with the OTC fall tags in the 80's. Big mistake on my part.

Cool Shrap.


Montana is on a short list of places I'd rather live.
Like most of the list, "If I didn't need to earn a living".

Those animals all look like trophies to me.

I’m from Texas and Montana wins hands down.

LOL.

Just about got me on this one Buzzy.

I would have bet quite a bit all grizzly hunting in the Lower 48 ended in 1975 and old Shrappy squeaked in under the ban.

Learn something new every day.

Thanks.

Learning will never stop when you aren’t that smart. I got that grizzly well before 1975 and probably before Buzz was weaned…

I will take your word about being not that smart.

Myself, being really smart, have found learning only makes me much smarter.

Quit being all pizzy in your own personal look at me thread.

Maybe you should add some pictures of the moose with the lever gun you didn't kill it with but did change your clothes/hat after the shot.

That's always fun and we all love a faked picture now and again.

Shrappie Baldwin is a phony prick...

Posts this picture on one site, because the guys there are mostly guys that hunt public land:



Then on another site, you know, have to pretend to be buddies with the dirt farmer:



I've never seen anyone that carries 3 sets of costumes, 10 different rifles, and moves animals around to take phony pictures.

Just bizarre.

Thanks for noticing, you react just like I plan. My success, regardless of how good or insignificant, really bothers you and that is all I care about. Between you 2 losers, it really doesn’t take much to upstage you guys. Keep trying.


I was out 3 days this week shooting gophers and prairie dogs with some nice rifles. Make some more comments, please…

Limpdik Lloyd is jealous

Wow, that’s very impressive. Just the dedication in getting the tags is something. Thanks for sharing, great animals and rifles.

What is the Weatherby chambered in?

224 Weatherby magnum. It is the Lazermark with a 26 inch barrel…

Sweet! I always wanted a .224 Weatherby, but the price of the rifles is beyond my means.

Thanks Shrapnel.

Pretty slick. I could probably put you on a trophy possum or armadillo down here. 😁

Where’s down here? I can find some more guns to shoot…

Mississippi 😁 Some of our coons get pretty big too…🦝

WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER! 🤣🤣🤣

Alabama. Some fair sized rattlers and copperheads…

Congrats Shrap, like a previous Govenor of Wyoming once said "You done good!"

I've also got the 10 animals that you listed, but I had to get my Mountian lion in Colorado, and my Grizzly bear in Alaska.

For many years I had an OTC Grizzly tag in my pocket just hoping to see one on my elk gut pile, and I applied for that one spring season that they had up near Choteau, but didn't draw. Like many tag opportunities that we had here 45+ years ago, we didn't take them seriously enough, thinking if we didn't fill them that year, we could the next year. Now those tags are either gone or we have a 0.nothing chance of drawing them.

I also bought a Mountain lion tag for many years again mainly hoping to see one while hunting deer or elk, but never did, although I have seen them from my house, but not while the season was open.

I'm also proud to have gotten the other 8 animals on your list here in Montana and all on DIY solo hunts...

I've also applied for a State Buffalo tag every year that they've offered them but again, never drawn. So I had to get my Buffalo on the D, but I did use my .54 Hawken to shoot him.


And while sheep hunting in one of Montana's Unlimited Tag units one year I did see a Wolverine, but I didn't have a Trapper's license and the season wasn't open, so I had to get my Wolverine while Dall sheep hunting in Canada's NWT...

Nice😎

buffybr, I remember seeing those pics over the years. I thought you were from Montana but wasn't sure.

I am envious of you and Shrapnel, and wish I would have had the time and $$$ to do what you two have done.
I remember putting in for a moose tag for years and not getting one. I do have an unlimited sheep hunt close by, but again I just couldn't swing it or was gone working over seas. ( 33 months in Viet Nam).
But, I am probably too old to take part in the sheep season, and Elk and deer I can get within 5 miles from town.
We have plenty of bears locally and Mt Lions also. Maybe I will see if I can get one before it's too late.

Thanks for the pics,

You do realize that BuzzH did all that before he was 30…

He probably ate the last mango in Paris, too…

Hell of an array you got there.

I am at 7 of the Montana 10. I just can’t pull a Rocky Mountain sheep, goat or bison tag in Montana, or any other state for that matter but plan to get a goat in AK this year.

I do have a few grizz from outside Montana, so that’s a plus and puts me at 8, I guess…could my Montana wolf count instead?

I’ve trapped 10-12 Wolverine but never have killed one outright. That is something to seriously be proud of.

Correct, all but a grizzly before I was 30...but had a record book dall ram to go with the other 9 to help me feel better about not having a grizzly.

Also shot one of the last legally taken lynx in the state of Montana as well. Called it in while hunting predators.

So ur gods gift plz pfft 🙄

He is quite imaginative when he feels threatened eh?

He has struggled all his life to be an enigma and all along he has been an enema…

Hahaha!

You got that right😂🤣

Well I guess we are opening things up a bit so lets add in Wyoming. All public ground and DIY.

NO clothes were changed and no animal moved plus all the guns pictured were used in the hunt to tkae the animal.

Moose.




Black Bear.



Mt Lion.



Mule Deer.



Whitetail Deer



Elk



Antelope



Big Horn Sheep



Like a few others I am at 8 in my state. No Mt goat or Grizzly.

Got a grizzly in Alaska.



I have seen Wolverines in Wyoming but they are not the kind one would want to try and bag.

You put on some weight since then 😂😂

Congrats ,John

LOL.

A bit.

You have never done anything either then or now.

Sort of sad for those who have never lived a life.

DIY....always packed a tripod with you for the pictures eh?

Ya my belly has caught up with me in age 😂 I’ve raised 2 kids you ever done that fatfuk ?

Very nice! Congrats!

You should see Costanza......


This thread has the makings of an epic.

LOL.

I had to pack along a camera man.

Camera man on the sheep hunt started crying (litterally) before I got him and the sheep off the mountain.

Post up your pictures Jimmy. As a life long Montanna guy I bet you have quite a few of the Big 10.

Don't be shy and just whine, let us see what you have done.

I’d put ur fat ass to shame in Virginia mtns

Pictures are just not loading. Are you stuck in the kiddy album?

Good job killing various animals on all that time off work.



The working man is quite impressed.

Montana, before age 30, just for Scrappie Baldwin.





All these in 1995:











Doe whitetail, shot 6 of the "big ten" in one season.





1998:

Lame. You assume everyone is as insecure as Buzzie and yourself?

Oink^^^^^

He looked like a pig faced bitch even back then.

Wyoming has been pretty good to me as well.

Raghorn elk:



A couple moose:





Bighorn:



Black bears:





B&C pronghorn:



Mid-180's mule deer buck:



170's type deal:



Whitetail:

No $hit! Beauty may be only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone…

Wonder if I took a picture with Buzzy or the Wizard, standing arms length behind.....would they look bigger ?
Would you want them to?

Well by your response you actually have pictures but just choose not to share? Seems unlikely.

It would be super "Lame" to act like you actually have taken a few of the Big 10 but really have only killed one deer.

So ,LiL Jimmy, are you just not sharing with the class because you're better or is it really because you have nothing to share with us and you're shameful of your past toxic posts?

Thank you for your effort in clearing up this matter at the 24hr Campfire.

And where TF is 'Muglia ?

Buzzy in here simpin' on his scamper.

It's more than a bit homoerotic to look at hunting pictures and wonder about being "boned" by the hunter.

We don't judge, much, here at the Campfire but it is more than a bit gay.

Game and fish hog +P.... Just can't help but kill, sorta like a piggy eyed cat on tweety birds.


You eatin' all that meat pig eyes?


lol

Alaska has treated me pretty well too:











AZ like me too:



Wish they could grow something besides raghorns:



Coues:

lol!


You go pig eyes!

New Mexico sort of a stingy state:





Texas has been OK:

#extralargegullet^^^^^^

The funniest part is that Burns and Buzzie have all these pictures loaded all the time incase they feel threatened and need a little validation.


I bet Burnsie has a picture of the condom wrapper Buzzie used on him the time they went to the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

That's really damn good, and impressive! 'Specially for the piano player!

(Just a friendly ribbing, Shrap!)

You've done VERY well! I'm jealous!

Well take a moment and load your pictures, LiL Jimmy.

You seem quite adept at posting pictures when Grifting the Campfire for freebies.

Load up them hunting picts and post away. We have a minute or 3.

If Jim ever hunted, he'd recognize the country in a couple of my photos, within spitting distance of his farm.

You retards fed the strays. Now you got ‘em.

Ghey

Gawsh Johnny

Pictures of you hunting are still not loading in a picture specific hunting thread.

That's weird on a hunting forum.

One would assume you simply never hunt but do post here for some strange reason?

Why do you not hunt but yet post in hunting picture threads?

Big Gay Johnny waddles around with animal balloons

Ur phaagut frind buzz throws schit fits ovr my huntin photos jealousy 😂😂😂

Great trophies Sharp. The pronghorn is my favorite. Really unique. Love seeing your rifle collection too.

EarlyTurd has no pictures but his keyboard is sure slurring.

Who saw that coming?

Uh oh...the democrats are calling you drunk Earlybird!


Hahahaha!

Buffybr. The time lapse is as cool as the trophies.

Oh gosh...would we have to actually give a shįt about you two fàgs?


Poor things!

Thanks, it’s a shame that 2 idiots feel compelled to pollute something as simple as some success at hunting. Montana has provided and continues to provide hunting opportunities not available anywhere else. I am fortunate to have had the drawings for the permits of the moose, sheep and goat in a state that is blessed with all of them…

🥴🥴

So anyone but you who posts in this thread is polluting? Maybe you should include posting rules in your OP so you can enjoy a more pure posting experience here on the 24hr Campfire. We love to cater to the whim of the special snowflakes and their safe spaces.

Also please explain to the class how Wyoming and Idaho don't provide the same hunting.

Thanks in advance and again, we are all here wanting to give you safe space to post.

It's the 24hr Campfire way.

Hey fatfuk start ur own thread🥴🥴

Fantastic Kirk. Proud of you

Well, other than Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado...it's the only state.

🤡

He did.

You're replying to him, Drunktard.



And your picture are still not loading in a picture thread.

тест мыши онлайн

I'm a little jealous of the opportunities in your area.
I've been limited to elk, mulies, and antelope - for the most part.
Did get to hunt Barbary sheep, once, but had no opportunities (read luck) .

It is obvious as the Cheeto stains on your shirt. The 2 most vocal braggarts that are self proclaimed best of the best, weren’t able to accomplish the same feat in Wyoming or any other state…

What he sez ^^^^^

But, that being said, nice pictures! Maybe in my next lifetime!!

Who's "we"?
You and your sidekick[s] Butt and Mugly?
Nary anyone else here seems to be the least bit concerned over it.

Individual pictures to try and get back on track…

For fatfuk Jonny

Great post and photos Kirk.


Just saw this, as I was at my lease in the Texas hill country chillin' and killin' stuff most all last week and overdid it on the heat. Think it had something to do with working on a certain critter for six hours in the direct sun.





















Final total, 6 hoglets, 2 coons, some brewskis and a Zebu bull.


Yes, I always enjoy our conversations. You may even count me as a fanboi'. Not many folks about which I will say.

One thing we do have in common is : "I haven't ever been big on chasing trophies as much as what guns I could use in the attempt to get big game animals."

I'm with you on that, 100%. I personally have never "scored" an animal. Weighed, yes, scored, no.

But I must need make a minor point......

I've been to Montana twice, once on a combo Elk/Mule Deer hunt, and the second on a motorcycle tour with two dozen other guys.

When I think of Montana, the John Steinbeck quoute comes to mind...... “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans”

If I'd have been born there I'd probably have never left. But alas that was not the case.

I am also a fan of Teddy Roosevelt (one of the reasons I used the 405 Double, as WWTD) on the African Zebu, a quote of which his authorship is dubious, but fits....

"Do what you can with what you've got where you are."

I think my bones could rest easy in Montana, but since I am in Texas, I'm content to make do!

ya!

GWB

Before you get too gamey yourself, you need to pack up some of those rifles and bring ‘em up here and take advantage of our target rich environment. It isn’t any farther to come to Montana than it is for me to go to Texas, and I already dun shot one you’all’s pigs…

Well the "we" is me and the OP of the thread. We think those without pictures should zip the lips on their cock holster, quit being negative Nellys, and enjoy the splendid pixels provided here in.


Please respect our wishes and the OP and I Thank for your attention to this matter.

Lets keep this on track.

While not listed in the Montana Big 10 turkeys require a tags so here is a nice turkey picture.

Did you and Bumfuk buzz hold hands for the eclipse🥴

I'm back after serving over a year's long sentence in posting prison. Can only be on my best behavior - probation officer will not be lenient. Love to see all the MT slams.

I'll never get all the original 10- Grizzly is out of the possibility for me in MT I believe. Bison for me, is unlikely and I apply in other states also. I was sitting next to my father-in-law when he took an excellent Bison near Gardiner in 2005, making all-time B&C.

I've had luck in the MT system, taking Moose, Sheep and Goat, as well as wolf, few lions bears, and all the other vanilla stuff. I have also take all of the MT animals of those I've taken on public land, none guided.

Here's an assortment of my MT slam - including the FIL's bison.
MT Bighorn - Spanish Peaks Wilderness 2021

MT Black Bear, one of around 25 from MT, Lewis and Clark National Forest May 2014

MT Whitetail deer, Muddy Creek near Homestead, MT, 1983, my 1st buck

MT Cougar, Gallatin Range 2005

One of more than 2 dozen 6X6 of better MT bull elk, 2010, Spanish Peaks Wilderness

Shiras Moose, Blacktail WMA, 2007

Wolf - Spanish Peaks, 2015

Mule Deer, one of around 20 MT 4X4 or better bucks, Rocky Mtn Front, 2004

Pronghorn, one of maybe 30 MT bucks, Little Porcupine Creek, 2002

Mt goat, Spanish Peaks, 2012

Bison, Gardiner, taken by my FIL at the time in 2006

Mighty fine.

Green with envy here!

Best,


GWB

Nice😎

Shrapnel, thanks for starting an amazing picture show with your Big Ten.


It brought out some of the best Montana hunting pics I have seen. Makes me wish my Dad and Grandfather would have brought a long a camera when I started hunting in the 50's . We took some nice trophies over the years and saved the horns, but never had any mounted. But we had a pile of horns until my son's started taking theirs home and I sold the rest.
All of you contributors have brought back memories--good ones!

Ken

Greenhorn hell of a bow kill on that prong horn👍

Good to see you back, Kurt. If that proby officer get uppity let me know.

Had to kick a few problem children to the curb so it's nice to get a quality poster back here on the Campfire.

Holy shit!

LMFAO!

Great pics everyone.

In NM, it’s normal to not draw a tag for anything you apply for.

Pretty dismal

Ain’t you got a crème pie to bake

Shrappy Baldwin's Grizzly claim is pretty unusual. No pictures but a skull and hide.

Based on his past faked posts and pictures it's interesting.

I would never call her a liar but based on past posting if others said such things I would not be suprised.

Jonny boi takin up for cumligia smh 😂

Made it to the store to get some more NyQuil I see.

Shrap thinks I’m an [bleep], and he’s probably right. But you’re a bitch for your posts on here. Legit, you’re a bitch. You waited for greenhorn to post to get his strokes and glammed onto him like a [bleep].

You’re killing it.

Anybody else got some MT big 8,9,10,11, etc to share?

Why I would ever respond to a pig like you, claiming a rifle business that sells 50/year, but here goes.

I shot that grizzly while you were in diapers the first time. I don't mean the big ones you wear now, but the smaller ones you wore through 4th grade. I didn't have a camera then and I have shot a car load of animals that aren't pictured for the same reason. If you look, you will see that it has MFWP lettering on it as It was duly registered and recorded many years ago. You and Buzz, however have to qualify your activity because you are the original truth stretchers and try to drag me down to your level.

Here is another picture for you to exploit. I won't say why I took it, but it wasn't for you. The 2 deer pictures are for you and Buzz, and I enjoy that more than you.

Post up a moose you got that was bigger than your forehead, not some little joker you took from the road.

Hell of a trophy 👍

Ta be fair, tater head has gutshot all 10.

He just couldn't find em afterwards.

Didn’t fatfuk Jonboi blow an elks antler off one time🥴?

Pretty sure NannyGoatWhine won't be posting pictures.



Shrappy Baldwin,

It's your story. Like I said I am not outright calling you a liar about your supposed grizzy.

But then again based on your repeated posting of faked pictures if someone else thought you were a lying braggart I would understand why they thought such a thing.

I do know you lied about coming to my shop. So there is that.

Enjoy your evening.

That’s a hell of a moose. Funny to know that our MT moose are an exact tie in measurement by Fred King.

But did you fake shoot yours with a lever action?

What are the chances of that? We share the same line in the record book, but you got first billing. They must do it alphabetically, it can’t be because yours was first…

Beauty before age?
Did Andres do the taxidermy on yours as well?

Greenhorn, That Ram you posted,

T-O-A-D

Wow.

Yup…

Family-less losers have to stick together, they're all they've got.

Someday.

What does that ram score if you don’t mind? Anymore pics?

As I recall another upstanding member here paid a visit around the same time you were AWOL 🤷‍♂️

It’s not very big , but a nice one for the area it was taken. It was 9.5 years old and scored 168. It was a long and trying hunt and I ended getting with a rifle during the rut, just a mile or so above the river. Pretty much everything that could go wrong on a hunt went wrong on my sheep hunt. But it did get to milk having an unfilled sheep permit in my pocket for almost half a year.

Thanks, I was thinking bigger, but a beautiful ram. Congrats.

Having a sheep tag for 6 months would be a great problem to have.

All of this has been interesting, but will comment that Shrapnel was a year behind me at Bozeman Senior High School, way back in ancient times. His grizzly kill was well-known among us, and occurred partly because that was during the era when grizzlies were dispersing outside Yellowstone because of the "dump grounds" being shut down.

The park used to dump garbage in specific areas, which naturally attracted bears--and in fact the Park authorities eventually built mini-bleachers next to the dumps so tourists could see a "real" grizzly bear. Eventually the famous (at least back then)research by the Craighead brothers resulted in the dumps being shut down, and many bears wandered farther to find food, often well outside the park. Which is why Shrapnel encountered his big bear near Bozeman. (Back then the season for both black and grizzly bears was open year-round--and you could take a grizzly if you had a valid Montana hunting license, though you then had to pay $25 "trophy fee".)

I have only taken 7 of the Montana 10, mostly because my luck at drawing tags is lousy. My wife Eileen's is much better. In fact she drew a Montana bull moose tag the first time she applied in 1989. (I'd been applying for decades.) It was in an area south of Bozeman where I'd hunted since I was 12, so knew where moose hung out. She got exactly the bull she wanted early on opening morning.)

Have also been putting in for other special tags for decades, and the only reason I have a bighorn is drawing a ewe tag, back when you could apply for them separately from the ram draw.

In fact Eileen has taken 7 of the 10, despite not starting hunting until her mid-30s, a year or so after we were married...

Good stuff Greenhorn. Always enjoyed seeing your pics.

Some great pics here! Awesome thread

Ryan Busse, BHA, and cünttalk support this mutation of the original post.

Good trade for Tactical Travis.

Upgrading the Campfire is sort of my jam. You may thank me later.

Sand packed VeeJays never post good posts. Clean out the sand and get with the program.

Shrap Montana had been good to you. Congratulations on your successes.

Hello friend, what did you use to take this nice black bear?




Thanks for the reply.

I’ve been fortunate to harvest 7 of the 9 available in my lifetime. Definitely good times to be a hunter no matter your state of residence.

Sweet!

Nice 71’s

Awesome stuff - is that a Bridgers goat?

Thanks for posting.

Looks like a couple with a Winchester 71 lever gun. Getting it done with iron sights is kewl. No need to fake a picture as some here have done.

I did a thread about it here, tons of photos of the ram I was hunting and the other hunter who ended up killing him - an 82 year old man. Pics of my ram and the taxidermy including my den with a good portion of the MT slam on one wall.. long read but when it comes to hunts, probably most challenging experience I’ve had on a permit. I killed the ram on the 88th day looking.

Thanks Gruff

Lee Metcalf Wilderness area, south of Big Sky.

Pretty sure ol Gruff will post his pictures soon.

Cause he does all that hunting.

He sure does a lot of posting about others hunting.

Post a pic of your kid’s first buck and I might repost mine.

Chug a lug. That NyQuil ain’t gonna drink itself

I was first thinking hardscrabble but it looks like Sage mtn now that you mention that. Beautiful Billy and setting to take one in. Great hair!

Quit hiding behind your kids, it's pathetic.

Post your pictures, kiddo. Like everyone else in this thread.

Everyone who posted on here, thanks for the pics.
Great animals.

Burns, you have shot some nice trophies in your day.
Too bad you always have to be a pompous azzhole.

I have never hunted Montana.

Harsh but probably fair to someone in Cali.

I don't suffer fools well. A few get their feeling hurt.

Many others get a smile.

Lots of smiles in this thread.

If this place didn't have any azzholes or fools, Bin would go broke.

Rick's Internet Island for Misfit Toys ain't for everyone.

Neither is a Campfire at hunting camp.

Special Snowflakes melt pretty fast when they meet the Campfire.

Guess I'll post a few more of the big ten or whatever its being called in Montana that I've been involved with.

My Dad has shot 3 shiras moose, 2 cows (MT) and 1 bull(WY).





Also shot a B&C bighorn, 183 and change:



And an ewe bighorn:



Couple decent bulls:





Some mule deer:





Pronghorn:



Just last fall, his best Whitetail buck, Greenhorn was hunting the same area, in fact Greenhorn took the photo:

My younger brother has done pretty well too.

Whitetail:





Mule Deer:





pronghorn:



elk:



Bull moose:



Mountain goat, have some better photos somewhere I should scan. One 20 hour day to get a billy killed in the Bitterroots:

A few more.

One of my best friends with a B&C sheep near Missoula:



Same ram, different angle:



Cow moose with a family friend:



Ram from last fall that my Brother and I found and helped a CA hunter kill and pack while we were elk hunting the breaks last fall:



Pictures of the rams the evening before he killed it (his ram is the lowest one):

Pretty sad he and the other wannabes get so jealous and [bleep] on a man’s thread🤡
No wonder some don’t post much on here.

I do envy the hunters, pompous or not, who have had the good fortune to have hunted such great game animals successfully. However, I like to think I am above pissing on their successes.

That’s a dandy buck ur dad killed Lloyd 👍

He's not hiding, just hilariously pointing out how pathetic you are....

John"gotnofamily"burns. Come think of it, it's a common trait with the resident egomaniacs.....weird.

This is a chicken bone In Burn’s throat. Choking on the truth and still afraid to admit it. You will always dodge the truth to try and make yourself look better. It doesn’t fool anyone but yourself…

You’ll do any corner crossings ?

Some more MT big ten. In this case, only 6 - my son's got a few more to go but he's still young. Also has taken elk, deer and antelope with archery.

Nice👍
