I shot this buck in a snowstorm and had to take him out the next morning in a canoe.

Never have used my canoe for deer hunting. Always think about it beforehand, just don't ever get around to it.
I should fix that.  :D

Since I've shot away a lot of arrows into the tree tops (and way beyond)squirrel hunting, I kinda like this one.

I just hope we can find the time to save all these as a Trad Gang image....or on a CD...or something.

We'll figure it out.

Great stuff guys.....really great stuff.

This is early morning on a late season hunt in upper Michigan. It got so cold that night that the water in the wash dish froze solid. I've been in many camps when the water froze on the surface but not many when it froze solid. I think it went down to 20 below zero that night.   :eek:

Seeing all these pictures makes me happy to be seeing them and sad that all my pictures were lost in a fire in a storage unit several years ago. Had some good memories there. Hunts and fishing trips with my bestest friend, My Dad. Sure do miss him.

Archerskid 1, Thanks, I found that one a while ago, Lost most of the really old pictures in that fire years ago, sure glad I didn't lose that one. I'll keep looking for some more.

Welcome Jack   :thumbsup:  I'm sure you've got a lot of old pictures. This thread could go on for a long time.    :)

It's hell getting old isn't it? The first thing to go is your memory....I can remember what the second is.   :confused:

Jack... very nice picture. If I looked hard enough I could probably find where you got it.

Here's a pic of one of my not so super elk... in a time long ago in a land far, far away.

Charlie, there's nothing wrong with that elk.  Be happy you had the health to take such a fine critter.  Some of us only dream of the chance to hunt as much as those of you who do.

Keep entertaining us.  I gave my chances for an outdoors bio to Uncle Sam.  Now I'm playing catch-up.    :eek:

Tracy... know what you mean!! Took a test for the military once. They asked, "do you like to camp", I said yeah. "Do you like to hunt", I said yeah.
It was all down hill from there!!!  :D  

Ran across this guy during some of my ramblings. Sure wish I'd have had a permit and a bow. Enjoyed the stalk anyway!
