Gwen and I pole axed a couple of good ones during MO rifle season

Blessed Bobby !

Stonecutter & RC awesome bucks!

RC you got yourself a fine woman; I’ve been begging my wife for years to come hunting I’d love to get her out in the woods with me.

Medriver those family hunt pics of yours are something I look forward to every year. You’re living the dream sir what a great family!

Congrats to all I’m loving this thread!

Wow thanks for all the pics and posts. You guys have had some fuggin good seasons! I love seeing them, from all over too, good wide representation. Badass, and congrats to all you guys. and wives thereof. Keep them coming!

I ate tag soup this year. Not for not trying, spent a lot of time in the woods. Kinda hard headed, in that I really wanted to poke something close to home. Lots of rubs, scrapes, trails, etc. No trouble finding does by end of season, but only bucks I saw were a dinky 3x and forked horn. Last year I passed small bucks damn near every day in some spots, this year it was crickets. Plenty of bear sign, some in conjunction with drag marks from someone else's deer the day before. Makes a guy pay a little more attention and explains the musky odd smell he'd been catching all morning off and on lol. All in all, time in the woods regardless of punched tags is time well spent. But that being said, I'm expanding my hunting range next year. Maybe in another year or 2 try and head back to AZ for a mulie or another coues. After hunting the wide opens of AZ and eastern MT, this thick as timber is something I'm still working at. Be easier if I weren't too big a puzzy to climb a tree stand.

Still have valid wolf tags, and fingers crossed I'll blow the guts outta one.

Holy Smokes! I missed this Coues....Nice job peeshooter!

Good to see you back “onboard”......pun intended! We need you to visit more often.....even the “nut house” has those that attempt to keep order! memtb

We had a very good upland season. This is the end full year for Finn and I together. The partnership is working well.

We started off with an early special sharptail season



followed with pheasants



and then waterfowl



my big game hunting was limited to one trip for an either sex elk draw (write up in the muzzle loader section)

Those photos are just fantastic HughW. Congrats, and thanks for sharing those.

ALLLLLLLRIGHT Hugh !!!

Congrats on the partnership. There's something special about a dog that likes to please his 'feeder'. You can tell it in
their attitude and body motionS.

I've had Labs, Beagles, & G Sh Pointers. Your post makes my heart warm and tingly. THANKS

Fantastic Pix

Pretty good season so far. Got to do a DIY Caribou hunt with my son. Was the experience of a lifetime. I definitely understand the appeal of Alaska.









Shot this sow out of the neighbor’s wheat field. I kill every pig I can get crosshairs on and still don’t make a dent in their numbers.



With a 100 yard zero, takes about 1 mil of elevation at 25 yards. 😁



Haven’t shot a deer yet. There’s an older fork horn that I’d like to take out of the gene pool but haven’t seen him in a while.

So far this year knocked a couple off the bucket list in NZ this past May.

Beauty Dan, when I grow up, I want to be you !!

Merry Christmas.

Sure some excellent field photo's in this thread. Nice to see people taking the time for clean up of the site and making a good presentation. Great year and congratulations to all.

nice pictures thank you all ! Pete53

Only one tag for me this past fall so a pretty light summary. Bagged this 11 days into a 6-day hunt. A bit tough shaking them out this year.
