A lot of you have some interesting Avatar Image but with these old eye's I have a hard time seeing them. Lets show them and give a little info about them. What makes them special.
a drawing by my Grand-daughter

Jerry, that's too cool! :D
Here's mine, a Black Wildebeest I took in Namibia in '08

I wish we could slightly larger avatars. My eyes are old too and I also have a hard time seeing some of them. Here's mine in a larger view. It fits my user name.

I love that, Jerry - but even more i love that it was drawn by your grand daughter - bless her heart (and talent too).
Mine is me drawing the first Osage bow i made that later got damaged in a fritnds car, I repaired it but a year later it hinged at the repair - I sure miss it. Don't know if I can find the big one.
..................................
I think I found the right one, if not, it's a close one - LOL:

You already know what I think of your grand daughters drawing but just for the record.. How stinking cool is that? Way!!
I thought about posting a larger image of mine but they have these really cool works of art in the auction of Tarzan and I'd hate to give the youngun any competition...lol NOT!
God bless,Mudd
PS: I could look around to see if I have one of me in my loin cloth and send it to you Jerry...lol
Jerry
That grand daughter of yours sure is talented...Love that picture!!
Here is mine - Muley Buck I took a couple years back.

Here you go GB. I thought it best to use a "PG" picture instead of the "R" loincloth...lol

Beautiful background there, Charlie, and love the high foothill fields you appear to be in as well.
I know this one has thrown a few of you for a loop...this is a sculpture I made...it is actually a self-portrait...
there is much which the photo doesn't show...but basically it relates to my daily struggles and thoughts...the mouth is polyeurethane molded from an African Lion's skull...it represents a fierceness usually kept to myself...the tongue is a belt, representing my own tongue's ability to lash at times (probably subconsciously related also to the fact that I was disciplined with belts as a youngster)...
the inner child stares at a carpenter's level inside the "soul" area (level of course represents "right"-ness, and (what is not visible here)is a blackbird foot splinted with a popsicle-stick splint behind the child's head...this comes from the first animal I ever killed--->I was around four, and I threw a rock at the bird...instead of killing it I merely broke it's leg...suddenly I went from killer to saver, trying to help the bird...my dad helped me put a splint on the leg with popsicle sticks and kite string...it didn't work...my dad had to wring it's neck...maybe too much information for some, but it is what it is...

Jerry,
I always wondered where you got that pic. Your Grand daughter is very talented.
Actually, my avatar is part of a pic that was me & my brothers. Some say there is a family resemblance.

L82HUNT, That may be one of the greatest dogs but I have had and still have a few of the greatest dogs myself. Don, I had always wondered about yours. Mine is a good Mulie from a few years back.

What would be really cool is to have the avatars be clickable thumbnails that lead to expanded images.
Oh well.

Jerry, "The Wheel" is an old favorite of mine.

This a picture of me placing Old Glory in the sand after we took Kuwait back from the Iraqs in 1991.

leatherneck thanks for your service!
Mine is one of my favorite pictures I have taken. The bare picture was cool, but I think I made it cooler, lol. I was trying to send a message, kinda a old school bowhunter with a modern flair!!
(http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae73/Guitararcher/FILE02143.jpg)
Some great memories with this one!
My first custom bow. First deer I had ever shot at with a traditional bow. Killed on the first day of bow season. My best buck with a bow.. Also my favorite quote.

Leatherneck I love that photo!
God bless you and thanks for your service.
God bless us all!

Hmmmm.....I submitted a glass of beer but it was never "approved". I make my own beer......and beer for you if you stop by.....
Leatherneck, I can never adequately repay you or others that have served our country. I am forever in your debt. Thank you and all with all my heart.
Don, you're a bit bent but I can see where you're coming from and I like it.
homebru
Thanks for the comments all,I'm hummbled.
Homebru-When,not if, I get back out that way,I'd like to try that homebru of yours.
bent is a compliment in my book...but that could just be because i am bent...!?! :)
i'd like to take you up on that beer someday as well...even if it is considered contraband...
i'd like to see what kadbow considers a great Mulie...that's a beauty
Don,
That is darn good work. Are you a sculptor or artist for a living, or is it something you do on the side?

Now that is funny right there!!!
Mine is of what I consider one of the coolest whitails I have ever taken - the only full velvet buck I have ever seen in deer season in Tx.

My one and only coyote so far with trad ,from late last year. Called in with hand calls chest shot at 20yards or so. Coolest thing I have taken .

After years of trying, my first turkey with a bow.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/bmnash/2007%20turkey/BowTurkey3.jpg)
Computer crash has taken all my pictures.
My avatar is my son Sam and his 1st trad kill (his first of any sort for that matter) a few years ago at our family place in Riviera TX. A cottontail that he must have shot at 20 times combined from start to finish. Lots of misses but what a great day to be a Dad!
Lots of cool avatar pics and stories. Thanks for asking and thanks for sharing.

Actually, Mudd made that himself! Neat hat, I agree!
You can buy them, just google Robin Hood hats.
But they are so easy to make why bother. Just get yourself some suede leather and put one together. I don't even try to sew them now, I just use leather glue. There's only one line of glue, one piece of leather folded properly and a feather.
It's so simple even the merry men in tights from Sherwood forest could do it.
God bless,Mudd

I don't have a big one of Bubba Smiley Piggy. Here's his cousin from the city.
I am from Arkansas and hence a big Razorback fan. When I first saw this picture it really made me smile so I adopted it. I use it on all the forums I am a member of. It just makes me happy.
:goldtooth: Bubba could use some bling like this guy has.

This is one of the several dozen bucks I photographed last year on my antelope hunt. I actually stalked and missed this buck after the photo. I thought it was a decent photo, so put it as my avater, for now :)
Great thread.
