My North Face VE25 up on top. I've owned it for more that 30 years and it sure has served me well. I figured it out one time and I've spent more than 400 nights in it over the years...going to be using it again here in a few days..There's nothing like a bombproof shelter to crawl into after being out all day in the mountains.. Looks like a VE24... I should know, got mine in 1979. Still have it. VE25 came some years later.

Big ones that got away....but at least we have proof!!!! Mid 80s buck that I'm pretty sure would have nudged the Muzzleloader state record. Hunter missed him four times from the same spot @ 125-140 yards. He actually shed tears. Gagger Coues buck 115++ that we stalked all day to get a shot at.... hunter missed at 200 yards. I wanted shed tears! Big 380s bull. We were making a move on this bull when he decided to bugle one more time alerting another hunter who stumbled into him. Guy shot 7 times within 150 yards to kill him. My tears again!

NM...whoa, those are some incredable misses, reminds us all on the need to prepare so we can make the best of opportunities.
Reminds me of a buck from my past...have to see if I can find a picture.

The old homestead.. Tuckered out after a long day of goat hunting. We shared a great day.....My friend, Scott made a really nice one shot kill on this buck with his .270. Scanr, is that you relegated to a wheelchair? As a doc and fellow hunter i'm sorry to see that and wish a great hunter good fortune. thanks for the great pics. rc

Hunt of a lifetime !

Here is a picture of a net B&C mule deer as we walked up to him And this is one of my favorite camp pics from a bear hunt 3 years ago in WY And my hunter snapped this picture as I kneeled down to look at this buck for the first time on a plains hunt 2 years ago. This buck had 18 scoreable points

He owns a shipping service store over there. I was always mailing and shipping from there and we got to be friends. Great guy who loves to hunt....a damn good shot too!..

The Sonora buck is one of my favorites! I thought it was a cool pic, we had literally just walked up on it, the deer was just taking his last breaths and we had not even touched his antlers yet.

My all time favorite is of someone's little boy with his deer . He is making antlers with his hands beside his head. I tried to find it to link to it wasn't able to. Great photo.
