here's one of my favourites of cape york. it was taken by a mate on our last hunt together before i left that part of the world. we had walked a creek that day. i shot a small boar and we saw a mob of 3 of the biggest, meanest scrub bulls we had ever seen. we couldn't get a shot at them though. this was taken on the way back to the boat. we always hunted spots that could only be accessed by boat. we never failed to see pigs/bulls everytime we went out over the six months we hunted together.

anyway, post your special photos and why it's special for you.

that is utterly incredible. what are those, if I may demonstrate my ignorance?

I think they're Termite mounds.

those are termite mounds. they are prolific across far northern australia, in the states of queensland (that's where this is), the northern territory (that's where the buffulo are) and the 'kimberley' region of western aust.

i think we have all been guilty at some stage of taking the beauty of our surroundings for granted. what might seem common place to you might be breathtaking for a foreigner. everytime you head out make the time to take in the beauty of your environment, it's part of the hunt.

not exactly exotic but the memories of this trip to Colorado elk mountains are some of my most vivid - we had high's, low's, camaraderie, helped a couple out, I dang near died I guess .... heck of a deal but this photo captured a lot - Dad said he wasn't ever going back, this was the last elk hunt we went on together and at 73 he's still hunting hard, just not elk anymore.

That's  weird lookin bow...

My first goat hunt.

Here is one of my favourite moose stand. We call this one Gray's pond as my son Gray was with us many years ago when we made the exploratory trip into area. You can see my friend Keith on the callers stand. We have arrowed two moose from this location.

Here is picture from our most successful calling spot for moose. This one's called Harold's killer stand. Friend Harold has arrowed five out of this location and others in our group have taken two as well.

On our way up the haul road for caribou.

These two are my favorites! Limpopo South Africa, this old man and I spent about half hour together! The lick he's busey with was 10-15 yards from the stand.      

 
 
He's so old his horns are worn flat!

The most beautiful place in the world to me; Kodiak Island.








Sitting on the Arizona Strip looking towards the Vermillion Cliffs in Utah (pardon the thunderstick    ):

Drop camp for caribou in Alaska.  Great hunt with great guys.

 

Sometimes the close-ups are as memorable as the wide angle shots.  This was taken on my first hunt after a 10 year hiatus.  Wonderful hog hunt in SC with one of the best guys in the world.

 

The swamps of South Carolina.  Woody's friend took the picture  :D

Mt. Zirkel Wilderness

hey AK, is there any arabian tahr in the mountians over there. anything at all for that matter, besides taliban rebels. hope you return safe. yeah, the south island is a ruggedly beautifull as anywhere in the world.

Ozy, that is an awesome pic.

Well here is mine up WV, The winds was cold and the veiw was beautiful. My soul needed to decompress, and this is where it did. The second pic was after sitting in the pouring rain for about 2 hours in 35 degrees, i killed a buck after in this same location.

My pic is very dull compared to most but intresting in that we hunt in a couple of thousand acres of palmettoes 3' to 7' tall solid ground cover for hogs and deer.Almost impossible to stalk deer but hogs can be stalked b/c they make constant noise also. The best way to deer hunt is get up and look down into them.Deer move very comfortable in this cover.This pic is at the camp it is thicker in the hunting woods and swamp.Kip
