Utah state record Gold Fish ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/876x657q90/922/9ZVYP3.jpg) crittrgittr; Good afternoon to you sir, I hope the day went well. Thanks for the photo contributions, especially that wonderful moose in velvet. Holy smokes that's stuff I dream about. Anyways on the Gold Fish thing - and no, I don't know what it is you've got there either, but... When I took up ice fishing again, unbeknownst to me some ne'er-do-well had thrown gold fish into that lake too. Imagine then if you will sir, sitting in a blacked out tent, staring down an 8" hole in the ice for hours, seeing nothing... Then this neon orange thing floats past just out of direct vision.  I'll tell you that I questioned the state of my mental health, diet and spiritual wellness quite seriously for a bit sir, truly. When buddy asked me later if I'd seen any 8" gold fish in there, I was quite relieved, I must say. Photo of said tent and some non-gold fish waiting patiently on the ice for the trip home. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/120692.jpg) The result of waiting patiently. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/120693.jpg) Thanks for the contributions and the chuckle on the memory of the apparition fish. All the best and good hunting. Dwayne Funny story Dwayne thanks for the chuckle. That fish is actually a yellow eye rock fish caught in Alaska

Australian Platypus. It's looks like he is taking a nice nap.

My dog won the International Canine Poop Stacking Competition. It was kind of a big deal. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/fWHhXy4W/PXL-20210410-164650809.jpg)

The ram I shot on the hill behind my house..... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/MKThD8SJ/IMG-0990.jpg) Brother Fubar; Me again my friend, thanks for that photo. We've seen it twice now and both times it was just jaw dropping for me. I know you get to see the big Rockies on that island if I recall correctly, so you're getting to view some in the wild that I'll only dream of. If anyone is going through Whitehorse, there is a game farm a bit north of town where they have a Stone and a Dall that are positively huge. I know it's not the same as a wild ram, but they still took my breath away Brother Fubar. My long time friend took his ram this fall less than a kilometer from where I'd got one 31 years and 2 days previous to that. We were two weeks into the season, the rams had stopped showing up in the unusually hot fall and I suggested we go look at the ridges I used to chase sheep on and still chase mulies most falls. Sure enough, we put a couple nice ones to bed Friday night and he was able to get one Saturday morning. Mine was 7½ and his was 2 years younger but a much heavier ram all around. It's amazing what better genetics and a good forest fire will do for the herd.  This as they say, used to be me... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/165811.jpg) All the best. Dwayne PS; I shall do my best to avoid gummies, etc on your advice.. Brother Dwayne.... Your post and sheep are the "good stuff" seriously!!! I am somewhat familiar with your brand of sheep, the California Bighorn... as I was fortunate enough to draw a tag for the same subspecies.... now keep in mind I am a "wanna be" sheep hunter and am generally fascinated with wild sheep... My bighorn was from the mountains of South central Oregon, of all places. The unit I applied for had the best drawing odds but the worst trophy quality... I didn't care. Much to my amazement, I drew a tag, I have very little luck in the tag lottery in general. My financial situation at the time was well... meager... so I scouted , hunted and did everything on my own. It was an amazing and incredibly difficult hunt... in 4 days of scouting and 6 days of hunting I saw one ram I would consider worthy. In my unit there was one other hunter, we spent time together and he wasn't having much luck either. He was a gentleman my age and was hunting with his son. His son was a hardcore sheep hunter with several rams under his belt! We were all struggling, the temps were in the 90's.... the climb was 2000' each day.... but that is sheep hunting... I did fill my tag on the 6th day of hunting... And here he is.... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RFnkZDD1/IMG-0497-1.jpg)

Australian Platypus. It's looks like he is taking a nice nap. That was the Platypus I shot the morning I found the lost little E6 in the dark in a nothing spot. Brought him in with me . Sat him in one of my spots. I shot the platypus about 745 am. Went down to him told him I had a nice platypus on the ground. Seen dude had a win model 12 grampy bird gun. Told him we was gonna hunt till at least 11. Gave him a class on the savage 220. Took his pumpkin ball chucker with me. Didnt get 90 yds away from him Booom. Thinking WTF dude your fuuuking with the safe and ya got finger on trigger. Them Boom again 4 5 secs later. Go back to him. Dude has 2 platypus does down with knarly head shots. 1st and 2nd deer he shot in his life. LOL!!!! I made a thread on here the day it all went down real time after he killed the 2 doe platypus. Nov 2018 ???? "pics or it never happened" thang....... Something scumball sockpuppets on here NEVER DO.... He is also the last person I have taken into one of my spots on FTCKY. It was a charity thing from me.
