...."You had to be there."

I hear ya Charlie. That looks like Wyoming. I lived at Glenrock for awhile, but Missed the big woods too much.
 
Is it too late to be what I could have been?

Well guys, interest in this thread seems to have waned... but I'm gonna ride this horse till it's dead!!

Sure wish some more of the "Old Duffers" would post some pics.

This one is from my first bear hunting trip to Ontario, Canada.
I've made two trips to Ontario and two to northern Minnesota but killed most of my bears in Wyoming on my own.

After having the situation "blown" by bad wind the day before I moved my stand, put out a little doe in heat stuff and shot this buck dead at 10 yards.

Heck! Photobucket is wanting money from me now that I'm using up all the space! I wondered how far I could go with that.     ;)    

Anyway.... still hunting for deer in Hickory County, Missouri. Had a pretty good morning with the squirrels and couldn't miss. Picked one off the side of an oak, brained one that was peeking over a limb fork waaaaaaaay in the top of an oak and punched another as he ran along a limb.

I've always had a problem with turkeys... just have a hard time hittin em good. This fall hen fell to a large broadhead fashioned to replicate the head that Saxton Pope preferred.
The bow is "Yellow Girl". A 70# laminated osage bow I made.

This past long weekend I took a little bit of time looking at old hunting pics of Tom.  I tried to find some where his hair was mostly black..    ;)    had to settle on some pepper with some salt.  It was a challange since he started turning gray when he was 16 years old.

Pics to follow!

Oh no...having trouble scanning pics in will retry later.

I took off for a few days to do some fishing.. blue gills are my favorite breakfast food.   :D

I see ole Charlie has kept the thread rollin, good for you Charlie.   :thumbsup:

Here's another snow picture. As you can see I like hunting in the snow and here in Michigan we usually get our share of the white stuff    :)

No waning interest Mr. Lamb, please keep em coming. Awesome shots, especially the black and white goat shot, looks like something I would have seen in a Fred Bear catalog.

I'am still here  :bigsmyl:  I love this stuff, I could look at old pic all day. My late friend Jim Emerson had some huge picture albums stuffed full of old hunting pics from the 60 to to just a couple of years ago. I would sit for hours looking at them. Like some of you, he had hunted everywhere and everything. I sure do miss him!

 Hey Charlie, we may have to start a fundraiser so you can keep on posting your pics.  :D  Thanks for all the pics.  :thumbsup: ..........Raven

Bowhunting the high lonesome. I'm using a special rig I had made for horse back hunting. It holds a bow quiver and a take down bow.
