Decided to make it a complete surf & turf. Nice Coho to boot.


Just ate a steak from the deer. Excellent!
 
While my fishing this summer didn't involve flying it led me back to Taylorcrafts and some fun beach combing.

Wow, and with both tips. How were you able to slow your thumping heart when you knew it was a "sure" thing?

That's funny you mention that. I don't ever remember getting "buck fever" when shooting at rams in the past, but on this one, I had to set the rifle down once because my heart was beating very hard. It caught me by surprise.

Nice pics everyone! Some real great animals in this 2016 thread; wow.
Just some grouse for me hunting with Dad. Bears are decimating the corn food plots the sow looks large. ND pheasants in a few weeks will give a report.

Love it! Great pics and memories!
 
Visited Penturen Church today. A historical place in one of the most remote sections of northern MN.... Way cool place to visit, reflect; and be thankful for air in your lungs, birds to chase, and a faithful dog at your feet.

Great pics and adventures everyone!

Got a meat bull last Monday. First elk I've ever been able to get a truck to. After we stuck two trucks and had to get ourselves rescued outta there, decided there was nothing else to do but leave him overnight, luckily it was cold and no predators found him.

Flew game surveys on a couple of the ranches we hunt this week also. There were no hogs on one of the ranches only 6-7 years ago, they're everywhere now. Did our best to turn the tide haha.

Solo goat hunt success!

Had an excellent solo adventure these past two days. This fall has been a wonderful one so far!

Good day with Toby. Explored an old homestead, got a few ruffed grouse, and dug 5 pails of Yukon Golds.

Skalywag, what shot are you using in the shotgun for hogs. Looks like there are no trees so you can get down on them.

Steve, 12 gauge 00 buckshot 8 or 9 pellet works well. The hogs have gotten smart though, they will hunker down in the thick mesquite in draws. At the altitudes out here it's harder to really beat the brush with an R44, have to make strafing passes usually.
 
Got a short break from my calculus and other classes and took advantage of it to get out goose and ptarmigan hunting for the weekend! We had a blast!

WannaB, That shot of the 2 cubs with the house should be on the calendar.. You should have sent that one to SJ.

Skalywag, We are having a horrible time with 00 Buck. Probably because we are just above the trees and a bit higher. AR's work great, I am shooting a 300 Blackout on an AR platform, supersonic Barnes 110 gr. It just hammers them.

Here is a still shot from a video. The pig is about to get whacked... You can see our helicopter shadow..... 8)

I have a few others that are calendar worthy, but I missed the deadline. These were taken on the 1st. Going to submit them for next year! ;-)
