When you take pictures of your hunting trip there's always a standout. Post up your favorite ONE picture from your LAST big hunt trip.
This one is mine. It's of my cousin (ArkyBob) in Colorado on our elk hunt last week. It was a bit scary getting up to but we just had to get there.

For some reason, this one's a standout for me.

Those photos are pretty amazing.
Ryan, is that volcanic debris? That's cool.
One of my favorites. A British Columbia bear stalk on a "pool table". NO cover. Michael Schneider is behind me with the rifle. Fun...

A grave in Kansas. About 16 miles from a paved road and over a mile from a farmstead. I hunted a few hundred yards behind it. I always thought what a quiet, pretty place to be laid.

My English Pointer hunting frogs, he worked his way through the branches out to the center of the brush pile and crawled onto it, then went on point on a frog out to his right. When he goes on point he quivers like crazy, and was making the water ripple. I laughed my butt off..

Couldn't say this was my favorite or that it was from my last big hunt, I've never been on a big hunt. But when I was looking at pics to possibly post I realized this pic was taken on the last day of that particular season.

here's a recent favorite from Namibia!

This is my current screen saver at work. I took the photo a couple years ago but when season gets close I like to put it on the computer screen to remind me of what's to come soon.

Tom,
Yeah I was walking through a lava field. We were hunting in an area where there were a few lava flows through the forest. It was on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Super pic, flatstick... I need to keep my camera ready to use in the woods.

Kingwouldbe, you gave me a good chuckle there.... I had to look at that picture about 10 full seconds to convince myself that you weren't drawing down on a bunch of white leghorn chickens! I mean, all the goats to the right and especially the three to the farthest right look like white CHICKENS!!!!
Here's one from last year that I really liked. Saw some good bucks from a treestand right here last year but never had but this one chance to use the decoys.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/DaveBulla/Deerseason07040.jpg)
Showed this to a guy at work and had to ask him about five times what was funny about the picture and he didn't understand what I meant. I even said "look at the legs" and he still took a few seconds to figure out they were fake. Thought that was a pretty good indicator. The guy wasn't a hunter and didn't know there was such a thing as a deer decoy but most deer dont' know that either and if it could fool a human I hope they will work on deer.
I kind of like this one of my son leaping most of the way over the creek.

Little one. Lovin it!
My nephew after his first kill two years ago. He was 10.
(http://www.njsportsman.com/images/misc/kylesquirrel.jpg)
Yeah, it's not with a bow, but he was thrilled. He was very nervous about hunting. Wasn't sure if he could kill an animal. Not because he didn't have the skills, it was more an emotional thing.
First kill and all his reservations were gone. He was so proud to put meat on the table.
Tomorrow we head out for his second trad whitetail hunt. First one was Saturday and we saw does, one about 12 yards away, but it never presented a shot. He was still thrilled to be so close.
I just returned from the Missouri Breaks back home in Montana. I took a couple of pictures that I ended up liking.
We had a storm roll in and I took this picture on regular settings. Basicaly a two track that heads over a hill.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/Hood_lum/2008ElkHunt043.jpg)
I took the second picture on aquarium mode. I don't know why but I ended up liking it a lot better. The picture to me turned out similar to an oil painting.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/Hood_lum/2008ElkHunt042Large.jpg)
Every time I go back I still can't get over the terrain of being flat and barren and then dropping off into this.

Not the best photography ever, but the following ones are among my favorites, for various reasons.
- A Colorado view

- A big bird I called with a buddy of mine, who's a wildlife photographer. His pictures turned out a bit better than mine!
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii45/timradke/Gobbling.jpg)
-A long South Dakota road, heading out the day after I got my goat.

Kingwouldbe: That is one of the neatest pics I have seen. Thought it was just an arrow stuck in a tree (I have a couple pics of that myself) until I saw the red on the feathers. What kind of animal did you shoot?

I have many other pics of hunts etc. I never look at a picture to re-create the place. I use it to rekindle the embers in my memory, so that it will once again glow into a warm fire in my soul. I have many embers, too many to list.
