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.

Special Snowflakes melt pretty fast when they meet the Campfire.

A few more.

Giving Losttrail60 a little break?
It must sting knowing that you've never killed any of those animals and are jealous of Shrap.
Ouch. 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.

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 Quit hiding behind your kids, it's pathetic. Post your pictures, kiddo. Like everyone else in this thread. 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.

Good stuff Greenhorn. Always enjoyed seeing your pics. Good trade for Tactical Travis. Upgrading the Campfire is sort of my jam. You may thank me later. 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... 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…
