I haven't posted much lately. So what better way to start things off...

Hang a pic! Doesn't matter what just anything you want to share.
Sunrise this a.m. out my office window. The pic doesn't do it justice. It was a lot more purple and pink thank it shows.




My kids on Halloween.

Lady of the house, Miss Winnie. Oh how she loves her car rides....

Cloud formation over Mt Fuji, Japan

Wow that Mt. Fuji pic is awesome!



Good looking pup too.

Awesome pic of Mt Fuji. When I was stationed at Atsugi I could see it out my back door.

From one of our elk hunts across the highway from Mt. Elbert.

3 or 4 years ago looking for deer in Colorado
Saw this munching on a field mouse.


Came really close, could have killed it with the buttstock and make a nice scarf for the wife




This was another sight that day

From my eight year old's homework...

Doesn't get any better than that!

My Wife shot this pic in Wyoming, this year.

Priceless....

That was from Camp Fuji, was there in 06

Proud young lady with her first "big game" animal.

About a week ago. One of the trails leading to a frequented elk hunting spot.

Absolutely awesome, reminds me of the poem my daughter wrote for me for Christmas 3 years ago.

The one who can lift up the whole house,
With only his right pinky finger,
The one who can fix anything at all,
Even a broken-down me.

He loves me as far as my arms can reach,
A polished shotgun stored in the closet,
For any boy who does me wrong,
A father's love for me.
I love you ,Dad!
Love, Jessica

I've recieved a lot of cool stuff for Christmas over the years but this right here is the best! I doubt it could ever be beat.

Heading for a landing next to the Alaska Highway in BC.

Thanks for your service Jarhead
Didn't see anything like that when I was there in 81'

Loading up mags for a 3 gun match tomorrow. #3 is having some trouble.

Out the back door, as I post.

Stunning pic of Fuji-san; nice job! I don't think I've seen it without snow. Thanks for sharing, and your service. You at camp Fuji?

OUTSTANDING Sir.

Wind River Canyon is a place I never tire of driving through.

Fall in the Sandhills




Few turkeys faked me out at sundown by crossing the far side of the field for once. They are the TINY black dots between the trees.

Wonderful pics, Gringo. About time. I knew you were holding back...

Feeling lazy today, so today's lunch is all I've got.

you need to tame them down so you can herd them.....

Jayzus, talk about a motley looking mob of rogues...

Love that pic.

bish....I had cold leftover anchovy pizza!

When I'm unarmed or just have a rifle, they are like this. Don't know how they know, but they do...

crows are the same way...

Great minds... We both had cold fish!

Looks like an evil Pitbull.

Nonsense. That's a UFO landing.

This was my dog's picture record at the shelter, likely taken the day they took her in.



Now she looks a bit like a tank.

As expected this is another top notch "hang a pic" thread. I always enjoy sharing my photos, and doubly enjoy seeing other peoples.
Thanks for joining in, and if you haven't yet you should.


I'll try to get some more up this evening.. maybe a little gun porn.

My boys and their first puppy last week. Happy kiddos!

Absolutely adorable...

Maaaaaaan, I am a full on sucker for kids and puppies. Yours are tops.

Here is a little caping knife my cousin Colin made for me. Its the first knife he made, and he saw fit to make for me as a birthday gift this year.
He shaped the blade from an old file, fittes micarta scales with a mosaic pin, made the kydex sheath, and even braided the paracord.

Looks like he did a fine job too.

Cool. That Texas, Jeff?

Badass.

thats not tx.

lol,...that's a great kid y'all got there.

I'm bettin' Papaw spoils him rotten.

birdy

yeah, can't wait for him to get a little older.

Ketel and forty one,...a dash of vermouth and some olives with one,..4 grains of Unique with the other.

That's a sweet little revolver, Bristoe.

Son wanted to go for a hike last weekend.

My legs finally quit being sore, hope he doesn't want to go hiking again tomorrow.

Took a little stroll around the farm a couple weeks ago. Snapped some shots of the kids.

My one year old....



My five year old....

Outstanding stuff here guys. Keep it going.

A well spotted 300 dollar cat.....working on getting a few more of these this winter.Spending a month and a half at the home place, here in southern Az, doing what I love most, predator calling.

Tuesday

So very cool, and touching. Anytime I see brothers, especially those close in age, man, it warms my heart and takes me back. The love between brothers can be so strong.

The smiles on your boys belies their joy, but the most touching part to this once kid brother is the arm around his big brother. That pic is a treasure in itself. Thanks for sharing.

She looks like a sweetie!

458Lott, awesome pictures Man!

great thread Thomas


outstanding photos guys I enjoyed them all

but bros and pup, was a dandy indeed

but tell those boys I bought that pup from you for $100 (have kleenex handy and tell them my name's ironbender)

Haha, I think that might cause some major meltdowns around here. My oldest can't get enough of her. My youngest is a bit put off by her needle like teeth but he has fun with her. They are best buddies one minute, and swinging the next. They are awesome kids! Thanks for the kind words, I am a lucky dad.

My puuuuurrrrtiest rifle .44-40.

Nearly 11,000 rounds of 45 ACP, loaded for one IDPA season a few years back.

zombies attacking in Tejas Doc?

Umm, no...

That is too sweet of a rifle in to neat a chambering to be pawed by a guy like you....

This morning from my stand. Just as I was taking the pic, 3 does were coming up behind me catching me totally unprepared.

They have a way of doing that sometimes ... looks like a good spot.

It has been a regular producer, for does anyway. There is a big Ol Buck that works a rub and scrape line thru there, but I have only seen him once and couldn't get a shot.

Stopping by for a drink.

She is till you try to hurt one of her family, or you come too close to her home baked cheddar dog biscuits, then all the sweetness goes out the door....

In my best broken record accent ... they have a way of doing that sometimes ... GRIN

Thomas;
Thanks so much for the thread sir, these are among my favorite here as we all get a wee glimpse into our cyber companion's daily lives or perhaps at least their travels.

Thanks to all who've contributed as well to make it so interesting.

In no particular order then from our lives.

Cannon Beach, Oregon.


Haleakala, Maui.


I was supposed to cut the lawn, but faced stiff opposition from the local gang of toughs.

Thanks for looking folks and again thanks for participating to those that have and those that might yet.

All the best to you all this time change weekend.

Dwayne

Some random images

And just one more in honor of my 93 y.o. dad - a rare photo of all the siblings (all 7 of us) and most of their respective spouses, and all of the grandkids.

The only improvement I make is a caption telling the location.

I especially like the mountain and sea shore scenes, and would like to know where they are.

The boy's in Idaho a few years ago.

My boys and I fishing the Kenai this summer. These guys are hooked on Rainbows.

Dang Sal that young man is growin up! Good job Dad!

Going back about 6 years. My favorite kid and my second favorite rabbit dog.

Damn good thing you live in Idaho or I'd be stealing that dog.

He looks exactly like the lab I had to put down this summer. Dude ya put a smile on my face.

Sheep Mountain, Co

Flour Mill in Dodge City, KS

This picture was taken about 1965. I am sure many other on the forum have seen this building.

shweet pic!

I found this a few years ago, while going through some old pictures and documents.

It is a notice to my Grand Dad to report for his physical to be inducted into the army during WW1.

He didn't go to the war--the war might have been over by then.

12344mag,

I'm sorry for the loss of your lab. Mine is 8 1/2 years old and hunting like a champ. I hate to think of a season without him.

I hope you have at least another 8 1/2 years with him.

Sleeps in the pickup all day. Raises hell all night.

My son(#75) snapping the football.

ur killin me brother!

ThomMag, thanks for starting this thread. As others have said, it's so great to see the wonderful images members from all over of their families, and of the great outdoors that we all love and cherish. A few more from me. Shocking, I know!

This last one I took a few hours ago from the salt mine, downtown Boston. It doesn't belong with the others at all. Few smiles on my face these days when in the city compared to when I'm with my wife, in the field or on the water elsewhere...

My son's first buck he got last Saturday.

WOW! BIG CONGRATS to you both! Look at that grin.

Looks like a pretty good buck, too. Way to go!

KG, that sure is one mean lookin' fox!

Somebody must have just stole his breakfast!

Jay-zus, Leighton!!! Wonderful photographs...

That deer has weird horns...



Excellent photos, amigo!

Awesome!

Pick your story. One is true.

A. Yeah, he was a downright demonic one indeed. Evil thing attacked my truck, actually. Fought him off with an axe handle. Probably rabid, the wicked vermin.

B. I caught the guy at a funny time; in the middle of a yawn.

I'm assuming that was once a bear, right?

One of the family this year in SA with zebra I shot for the wife. She wanted a rug, what can I say. We had an awesome trip.

Another one or two from the trip.

somewhere between kingsville and Lubbock 1969 or 70.



Harlingen, Texas in the 60s

I'm gonna stick with A as there just ain't no excitement in a yawn.

6 months old



Giving Mimi a big kiss



singing with Pappy

TRH, I'm sure that you are right but I must admit that I borrowed that shot from someone else so I can't take credit for any part of it except to admit that I might be classified as a thief!

And then Doc might have it figured out; actually a weird looking deer.

[quote=stxhunter]somewhere between kingsville and Lubbock 1969 or 70.



That is a really cool photo.


Travis

Back in the day...............

Poor fella looks like he wasn't having any fun at all. Congratulations on the nice buck.

Great photos packrat. That's a lot of foxes.

I agree. And are you talking about the foxes piled up, or the ones sitting on the couch? You have some lovely ladies in your family packrat. Great pics.

He kills ducks too.

I'll see your raise with two from the Black Hills.

I'll raise you with three from Montana:

Thanks guys. I am blessed with a great family.

Killer photo! How far where you?

OK, about 60-70 yards.

Excellent thread - thanks Thomas. Loving the family pics - so let me post some of my lovely wife as she worked her magic with our girls along the way. Old photos - from slides - so the quality can't approach what you guys are posting.

Married two-plus years and just graduated from college - with our first, at 15 months.



With the first and second.



With three at the beach - #2 did not like the waves.



With all just after #4 was born - by this time there was no way that dad could get them all to look at the camera and smile.



All grown up - 27 years ago.

I love this state!

Begging your pardon sir, but I'll thank you for not making me out to live such a one dimensional life. I do drink and hunt, I'll have you know. Sheesh. Post a couple pics and the next thing you know you're getting pigeonholed. Now good day to you, sir.



Just awesome pics all around folks, and thank you all for sharing, truly. I really enjoy these threads!

WTF?...

Anyone else feel like a steak?

All I can say is I was certainly born in the wrong state.

My boy with his idol....


My Brothers...

Need more cool pics guys/gals!

My new baby!

Grunt_0351,

First, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Second, there are too many names on that stone and too many pairs of empty boots in that line...

God Bless the U.S. Marines!

Ed

^Amen

Snapped these the other day. The little popcorn-fart cracks me up on a daily basis and the oversized outfit just added to it....

Indeed! This.

Nice fishies...
Howzabout some California Chrome...
