Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hang A Pic Part II

here's a few of mine

A couple - I don't really do the camera thing.

Yam Timberwolf, modified a little to carry more wood than they've said I should.



My son - out on the bay 2 years ago on a friends Wellcraft.



On the bay - heading in at the end of a party day on Longtail

I love that snake picture.

Good kitty

I don't usually participate in these because a lack of uploaded photos. But I have a few to share! No pro quality pics like many of you, just honest snapshots where the subject means more than the quality.
First, my faithful crew - first time in a canoe for the little ones.

My oldest on the right and her best friend on the left. A pair of 23" walleyes.

The full catch of two hours of fishing.

Nice smallie from NE SD

Pig rockbass from the same lake

First shorefishing trip of 2012 - first kitty, bigger than the angle looks. That angel turned 7 today - Golden Birthday!

My oldest with her elusive "river carp"

My first bird dog, Lucy, pure weimaraner, 9 weeks old in 2008. Beagle is a small 25 lb. dog.

She was so small and cute...

And here she is with her first successful point, shoot, and retrieve. After that experience it was like turning on a light switch - she's a pheasant machine now!

My silver beauty crashed out on the back seat of our Bonneville. She's gone from a cute puppy to a beautiful 70 lb. running, sniffing, hunting machine. Not to mention a great family/house dog.

Off-season entertainment - backyard squirrels

She crosses over and hunt squirrels too. And retrieves them for me as well. She's a little harder on the squirrels than birds - soft mouth on birds, but she caught a squirrel once that bit her on the nose. She has to give them a healthy shake before she brings them in.

That's all for now!

Beautiful Weim. My brother has one - house rat tho.

Some snow goose hunting - we were WAY late to the area and didn't get as many as we thought but EVERY one that came in range hit the deck. No survivors.







Ducks -

From an antelope hunt-


Brother in law and our two shorthairs-

World's fattest squirrel.






I can't remember which memeber's son does this but that's where I got the pose for the pic.


Jay Leno and his wife went to Saudi Arabia before Christmas 1990 on a USO tour. Our crew took them from Riyadh Saudi Arabia to Al Jaber. I'm on the left end.

Started a new hobby of building guitars. It's always been hard for me to find one with the exact features that I want. So, I went with, "If you want it done right, do it yourself." So, here's my DIY Stratocaster. It's pieces of 4 different guitars.



Next weekend, I'm starting on a DIY Telecaster.

Cutting wood, when you should be hunting...



A different view of America...



What you love to come back to at the end of a day of hunting...



Trains are always nice subjects...



The glory days of hunting young...



Fire...



Antelope...

THOMASMAGNUM;
Thanks so much for starting this visual feast for us sir and of course a heart felt thank you to those folks who have contributed to make it so. To me, threads like this are the 'Fire at its finest or close to it anyway.

This is the view from a low mountain which is about a 10 minute walk east of our yard - looking south onto Vaseaux Lake.


Our eldest and I came back from cutting firewood to find a tense standoff in our yard..


Our eldest watching the sunset from north Kehei.


Coming down from a hunt off of the mountain to the east of our place. We're a little less than 5km from home here.


Our youngest watching her sister dancing on the sand and of course the sunset as well from Kehei.


This is a personal favorite of mine in that it was our first family trip to someplace tropical. We all enjoyed every moment spent on that trip to Oahu.


A more "normal" destination for our crew - taken on a jet boat trip up the Green River south of Pemberton, BC.
