Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hang a pic, again-

okok I've lurked here for years but don't post very often... I used to post occasionally on the Crackerbarrel before it went TU. I've just been poking through my Photobucket album and reposting stuff that I put up on another smaller site I hang around on. Wheelchair Bandit posts there too. And several others check this site like I do.

These are just stuff photos...

Great thread,boys!

Coyote, bear, lion, whatever, hey, I was close...

The first jack I ever put lead to was in SE AZ. Hit him at 40 yards the first time, and off he went. I was surprised when he didn't keel over, based on local cottontail and hare experience. Long story short, I ended up shooting that poor litte gummer 3 more times, with each time having him scamper off into the desert. The last time he ran down a long draw, where it was getting thick. I was annoyed and astonished that I'd failed to do him in, when I *knew* I didn't miss.

I sat down, hot and frustrated, then thinking maybe that I'd been shooting at more than one. I got up, ready to call it, and shouldered the shotgun. As I turned to walk out of the draw, I heard what sounded like a...like a child's cough. It was close. Very close. I got a little creeped out, thinking there was no way a kid should have been out there.

It was the jack, about 15 feet away from me, panting and coughing up blood, alive but barely holding on. As I walked up on him he coughed again, then died. The poor bugger was like swiss cheese. I have no idea how he survived through all that.

OK, enough bedtime stories for now, kids. Sleep tight.

Big saber toothed Desert Jacks can be a bit tough to kill.

That is why I prefer the .44 Magnum and prefer head shots:

This is my P&Y world record jack... 42 lazered yds, through the vitals, DRT... love the weapons carry on the X1, released the tether and had an arrow in flight less than 5 seconds.

Kent;
I trust that this finds you and yours well tonight and that being a grandpa hasn't worn you out too much yet. Thanks for sharing the grand daughter photos by the way sir.

Anyway to the subject at hand, that indeed must be the world record jack!

As I recall them, the ears on our Saskatchewan jacks were perhaps a wee bit shorter than the ones in Mackay's fine photos but somewhere near them I'd have guessed.

Yours on the other hand is in a class of it's own. Perhaps it's almost a sub-species of it's own, you know - like those Sonoran mule deer that JGRaider and Hunt Sonora share with us.

Thanks again for sharing the world record jack with us sir, as a long time jack rabbit shooter/hunter, I for one am suitably impressed.

All the best to you and yours in the upcoming week Kent.

Dwayne

Thanks Dwayne, may your family always be blessed.

My brother and I were walking down a wash when a jack came out and froze in front of us. I tell my brother to shoot him with his bow... he asks, how far?... I say 40... he shoots and says, too high, while I'm watching the arrow, the jack flips on his back as I say, nope... We walk up and the broadhead had went perfectly in one ear hole and out the other... he still brags about that shot years later.

I've caught two jackrabbits with my bare hands when i was younger, by sneaking up on them and grabbing them before they had a chance to run.

From one of my trail cams. I shot this deer the next morning. Didn't have a picture before and had no idea this deer was on the farm. I didn't discover this picture until after Thanksgiving when I checked the cam. Not the quality of most on this thread, but a pretty neat picture of him stretching his neck to reach the branch above...

A beautiful Idaho area where I've hunted elk, although there are a couple of wolf packs hunting here too.

bbassi, let me apologize in advance for messing with one of your pictures, but I just couldn't help myself.

When I saw it I thought that it looked just like many of the early 1900's hunting photos that I'd seen, including the rifles and equipment hanging on the cabin wall.

So I copied it and sepia toned it and fiddled with the focus a tad and this is the result....



If you prefer, I will remove it. Again apologies..
