This makes me regret that I have shunned cameras most of my life. I absolutely hate having my picture taken. I always have. I have a good memory; but it's easier to share a picture.
I'll have to resend my pics....they were there when I first put the thread up....Cool pics from everyone...There's gotta be more old hunters out there with younger photos of themselves and their game....
Here ya go Joe....

Hey Joe,
Nice picture of Roger & Serg. I got to meet Serg one time when Don Assenheimer and I were staying at, I think, the Pine Ridge Motel, outside of Timmens. We were on one of our annual bear hunts with Larry Corville. As usual the black flies were awful but the hunting was good. Don & I both took several bears with Larry.

well here i am with my first archery kill, Nov. 4, 1978 age 17 and last year with my first deer of the season age 45. time sure does fly by....

Joe...I think I have a foggy notion of who that guy is...I've still got that old coat laying around somewhere, more holes than coat now, though.
Good thread, I'll dig around and see what I can come up with to add.
