Some of my favorite photos are bowhunting "action" shots. Full draw on an animal, stalking up to the animal, or anything with the hunter and quarry in the same frame. I'd love to see your "action" shots!

Aloha,

Great Pic, what's the rest of the story.... walked or died?
Cool pic Ryan!
I only have one action shot as I usually hunt alone. I guess no one want's to tag along with me. :confused:
He was unaware of me till that point, but all I had was a "quartering to" shot. In this frame, I'm "busted". I needed him to take one more step, which he did, but bolted immediately after exposing his vitals. One more second, just one more second...that's what makes bowhunting so exciting!!! ;)
Tracy, yeah it would be tough to run a self timer for those type of pics. LOL! With Mulies like those, I'd like to "tag along"!!! :D

I took this one of Lowebow with him and the quarry in it but the "action" was over. This was a very tense recovery. He had multiple years of trail camera pics of this deer and knew him well. He shot the deer the night before but knew he had hit him very low and simply walked to the house without taking up the trail that night. The next morning this was a snapshot of him just standing and taking it all in before he jumped across the gully in front of him to get to his deer. The deer only went maybe 90 yards and on shot placement inspection, Mike had clipped the heart.

Caught this one off a self filmed hunt. The outcome turned out well :)
Tracy, I live pretty close to ya and I'll tag along and take some action pics for ya :)
Great photos, guys! Kentucky TJ, that is a very memorable pic, I love it!
Here is another action shot. I was watching my dad make a stalk on a couple nice muley bucks, none were harmed, but it is very memeroble. In fact this could be put on TJ's "hero shot" thread as well. It takes me back to when my dad would take me with him and would watch him stalk mule deer when I was 7 or so. Definitley one of my hero's :thumbsup:

First one is me with my dog on point and my arrow bouncing off a pheas. I was experimenting with gobbler guillotine heads. Broke the leg and recovered the bird. I should have a story coming out in TBM next year on pheas hunting. Next one is a still taken from a video. My buddy shooting at a running rabbit bieng chased by my beagles.

Sorry here is the pheas pic. This was shot on 35 mm but something was wrong with the camera so the pic is not that good.

Here is a few from a goat hunt in Australia in March 2012:
These first three are a stalk on a mob of goats at a waterhole.

This last one was on another stalk right as I got busted by the goat on the left of the pic:

Great idea for a thread Ryan! The action pics are hard to get without a buddy being with you and they are cool to see.
Bisch
Great pics!
Another one, Mario Bregaña as photographer and Pope as hunter
