Here's a picture of the area we were hunting in the North Cascades near our home:

 

And here's a picture of my hunting partner:

   

We didn't harvest any blacktails but we had one heck of a good time.   :)

Sunrise on my favorite ridge.


 

Sorry to portray my rifle, Dinner Bell, but this is the stump of this year's National Christmas Tree, which is on display at the mall in Washington, DC. They pulled it out of my hunting area with a helicopter. A red spruce, it was 106 years old.

 

This shelter is made of chestnut, and was built in 1933. Around 1996 the Forest Service stopped all repairs on it, roof and sealing of the logs, and they are allowing it to decay. I have a lot of fond memories of my last 18 seasons or so spent in this piece of history.

 

My camp in the National Forest.

 

Spotted Salamanders were moving about one day. This one and another like it came out from under the shelter and went their mysterious ways into the woods.

Killdeer
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Alan, do the camels in OZ smell like giant skunks like the ones in Saudi.  I think OZ is where most of the camels come from anymore in the middle east.  A guy I went to school with was in the 82nd Airborne and blew one up one night because it didn't halt when challenged.  It's owners where a little irate, threatend to kill him because it seems it was the camel equivelent of a Kentucky Derby winner   :scared:   I believe the goverment ended up paying $30,000 for it.   :smileystooges:   I'm looking forward to running around down there.  Joseph

Great pics everyone...truly unbelievable.

Killi, makes my heart sad to see that stump. I'm gonna have to send Dubbya an email, askin if we can get rid of that stupid tradition. Why kill a hunnert year old tree to hang some lights on it?

I haven't gone downtown to see it, and offer my condolences. I saw it on TV, and with the woven blanket of lights on it, it looked somehow...caged.

On the other hand, the local communities are rather proud of the beautiful 65-foot tree, and the well-coordinated efforts that put their home-town hero in the Nation's Capital. No doubt it is also quite a feather in the cap of Pat Sheridan, the USFS District Ranger.

There are always two sides, but like you, I wonder at the logic. "Gee! What a great tree! So beautiful, so perfect! And way older than any of us! Let's chop it down!"

Excellent photos!  (redundant I know).  Camel stalking... what a way to start the day.

Killi those pictures are just great.  You fit right in with that Cabin... bow or no.  

As a kid I was always fascinated by those salamanders... we didn't have the big yellow spotted ones in the desert.  Believe we do up here though... going to have to check.  That's 'bout my favorite animal.

Good photos everybody, this is the first thread I check every day, good photo of the camel Alan, starting to think about making a camel bow. Kill deer what a waste of a good tree but I suppose it will be turned into lumber in the new year. Where I grew up we had a huge eucalyptus tree that grew in the centre of town that was turned into the christmas tree every year, but branches use to fall off it and damage a few cars in the car park so the tree was felled instead of barracading the area under the tree off, it was more important to have the carparking spaces which was a shame as I had seen koalas and possoms in the tree and when it flowered hundreds of rainbow lorrikets would feed on the flowers making a huge racket, it was fantastic, but the that be couldn't seen any room for the tree in our town anymore...Glenn...

Yeh the Camels do have a musty smell to 'em. Mostly the bulls. Fence's don't keep these fellas in ........ !
 Australia is the only spot on earth that has Feral camels. A lot of Middle Eastern lads come over to buy a few now and then. The word is our Camels are the best of blood as there from very old stock from back in the 18 hundreds.Not bad eating as well.

The ones I was around in Saudi were realy musty!  If you were down wind sitting on a hill you could smell them before you could see them come over the horizon and the horizon was a long ways off.  We ended up eating quite a lot of camel while we were there because that is the only source of fresh red meat.  It was pretty good, closest thing I could compare it to would be Moose.  Joseph

This should be my first deer of '04; a nice little doe taken in the Shawnee.

Okee, my turn!  Don't laugh now!

Most of my huntin is suburbia lots next to farmland that will get developed eventually here in Howard County.  

Took my son out tonight in the Double Bull and set it up in my customer's three acre lot.  13 doe came out - mostly big mature mamma's were bedded right behind their shed (to the right of their house)...and this is in the middle of our gun season!

  Wind was switching back and forth since we were in the bottom land near a stream, no shot, but they got within 40 yards before they were too uncomfortable with our wind.  Fun, fun, fun!
