Sharing I can do :)

I already entered this in our team contest thread, but not with many details. So here goes:



The area I hunt is a hillside that's quite open but has copses of brush and scattered pines. I had a nice blind all set up close to a couple trails I figured the deer would pass along but sat several mornings watching most of them work up a ridge 200 yards away.

Finally it twigged - go hide behind a bush where the deer were. In the dark one morning, I set up by a big pine tree and started seeing deer with first light. The first one to come by my hiding spot was this 4-pt (i.e., 4x4). He stood broadside for me at 17 yards and I zipped a Gold Tip Expedition Hunter with a 100 gr G5 Montec through his heart. My favorite hunting bow is this 2003 Hoyt Razortec. The buck ran about 40 yards before keeling over.

On occasion, I still enjoy hunting with my rifles. This is an area 146 Colorado Pronghorn. More than likely he will be my last Colorado antelope. Hunting them in Wyoming (every year) with a bow is still too much fun!

A proud daddy moment: 11/10/12 my 12 y/o daughter fills her very first Colorado youth elk tag.


I traveled to Alabama over the Thanksgiving holiday-on my quest to kill a deer in all fifty states. As time was running out, I began to unravel the tactics of hunting these elusive "sweet home " deer. They liked hanging in heavy cover! In the end, I used my Ruger to shoot both a buck and a doe.




A hard earned buck from South Dakota



A litte late season Muzzleloading in Iowa

Awesome Africa pics, Huck!!!

My buddies first buck with his bow. Small but of course a trophy to him.

Heck yes, it sure is a tropy to him! He looks pumped! Reminds me of when I first started hunting way back when. Glad to see the young fellas getting into the sport.
