With 2013 in the books and the spring turkey hunts of 2014 fast approaching, I thought it would be nice to share some photos of our 2013 seasons.
Not necessarily looking for harvest photos, but looking for photos that depict this great sport.
Looking forward to seeing some stunning photos!

Some day I'll remember to take a camera with me when I go hunting!
Bear Quest seven. Number 8 is getting close. Looking like 2013 was a great year.

A Shiras Moose that did not like me getting between her and her calf....
That feeling you get pulling into camp pre season... everything has been ready from wood being split and under the porch to your quiver and hunting arrows on the bow... all waits for opening morning to dawn.

Days before the season opens at camp, New hunting arrows tuned, groups are tight from lots of shooting... you are where you want to be! (http://i.imgur.com/CFpIuLQ.jpg)
I love loading my hunting quiver with the new arrows for a season soon the arrive... (http://i.imgur.com/RGgSR2F.jpg)

The feelings a great ground hide gives you after setting it up and waiting to hunt it with the first right wind. (http://i.imgur.com/wkqzgbz.jpg)
That especially still frosted morning when the beauty of the sunrise overwhelms the desire to scan every area for the slightest glimpse of brown movement...

Motionless you simply stare and look... mentally describing the details to yourself in such a way as to hope these moments will linger true enough somewhere within you...

Another pic of my first trad deer, notice the huge mole on its face.
Keep the pics coming!
