Here is one of my youngest son last season with his first bow killed buck. He was pretty darn happy after finding him. Even had a downhill drag out.

This is one of my all time favorite hunts because I killed this cow elk while my brother was with his SF A-team in Afganistan. As I packed the elk off and struggled some all I could think of was my brother doin' his job in the mountains with people shooting at him. I kept telling myself getting the animal off was nothing compared to his daily walks in the mountains. Little did I know he'd get hurt on the job the next week and need a helicopter to get him outa those same mountains. After he was home and fully recovered I showed up with 2 very good elk steaks and a bottle. We ate like kings and toasted the heroes still doin' there job and others that died doin' theirs. Finest meal I have ever eaten with the finest man I know.

This is my favorite hero picture. My wife Nancy (RedBird) and I on the first MLA rabbit hunt in northern Michigan in March. Her feet got cold so I build a little fire for her.
Another one of RedBird and I with her buck. She's been my hunting partner for 53 years.

Love it when a plan comes together! Even if by accident, eh, Lin!
This one, because i worked hard, on public land, at high elevation, and the last minute of the last day of my trip!

These type stories are what Trad Gang is all about. Gear, techniques, and all the other stuff is ok, but this is good stuff. Great idea and thanks for sharing!

This would be my personal favorite as it was the fulfillment of a personal dream to at some point hunt in Alaska.
This was a 'spot and stalk' Black Bear hunt taken in May of 2010 with 5 other Trad types and using the services of Homer Ocean Charters of Homer Alaska.

This is my all time favorite. I was there when Whip shot his first elk in 2007. He was so excited it was phenominal to just be there!
