How about just some favourite all time hunting pictures? Because the scenery was awesome, or it's a great pic of a great animal, just any great pictures of the reason we love it so much. Great moment with friends, families, let's see some of those awesome images.
Here's a pic of a buck I shot in Sask last year, and this view was a reason I was so excited to walk up to him! The shot happened so fast I didn't know what he looked like yet.

I loved the way the snow had hung on all the branches this day. It was a picturesque environment to hunt in.

Ironically some of my favourite pictures are even from rifle hunts. Which is crazy because rifle hunting is so EVIL! I grew up rifle hunting and only bowhunted later when I started hunting by myself. Good times can sure be had.

I'm not a particularly vulgar guy, but I think if I was Hunt in that photo I might have the same expression except for me it would be saying: HO LEE SHI$ What did I just do?! What a bull.

This one. On 31-Oct my son was hunting by himself. This was the first year he was able to do so. At 4:40pm he texted he missed a doe. Twenty minutes later he texts me the above pic. Another doe came in. This time he didnt miss. Did it all on his own this year. Couldn't be prouder!!

Pretty much my favorite is any with my son in it while hunting. His first spring season and called in this nice tom for him on state land, no blind. Special moment talking him through the shot, making a great shot and then lifting his bird. I will never forget that moment and the feelings I had.

I self filmed this one along the Bitterroot river with my centaur long bow. The deer were moving like ghosts with all the snow clinging to the tree branches. I hit this little buck right in the pocket and he made about 4 hops and tipped over. The land owner had never seen an archery kill and insisted on helping pull him out on a kiddy sled, ha.

It's been a few years ago. The date on the pic was wrong. And, I've killed a lot of deer with compound and trad bows before and after this one. But, none had more meaning than this one. Prior to starting chemo I had scouted out this fence crossing where the deer were focusing due to the wire being stretched and sagging.
Fresh off a week straight of Chemotherapy. I was struggling to stay alive and, wasn't real certain that was going to happen. I Felt miserable but, made myself go out and climb a tree because I was glad to be alive and, wanted to do what I loved again. However, this experience gave me the strength to keep at it, as I was thinking about telling them no more of that crap was going into my body. The Good Lord knows what we need and when we need it. I praise God for his mercy, my healing, and my blessings everyday.
