Well here is my first contribution to the daily hunt and pics page.  First rabbit ever with my bow.

My youngest boy is 4 and just getting started flinging arrows.

First of all thats a great picture..Never to early to start..  


Second....tee shirts and flip flops?????      

It is the HOT SEASON here in Fiji and it is HOT with high humidity!  Not exactly snow in January weather!  Most people around here wear a lot less than that.

I thought I recogonized Lukes picture up there with the Hawk, he had sent me a documented story of his findings and experiances in the woods, and I remember seeing that distinct picture, very nice shot Luke!.

The three dots on top are wild sheep. Go get em!

 

Curtis,
Add a foot of snow, drop the temperature to between 10, & 20 degrees, and I'm ready.  You are ordering some cooler weather for us northern boys in March aren't ya?

Well this is not a good hunting story yet but the possibilities is still there.

This is 2 of the 6 bucks that spent the summer in my back yard. There was high hopes that I might get a chance to harvest the biggest one with my bow, but 2 weeks before the season opened he quit showing up. I did get a chance at a one of the smaller bucks but never saw this one during open season, not bow, not rifle, not muzzleloader, I've not seen him until this day.

MIA from Sept. 14 until Jan 29th........

I went to my neighbors pasture last night and was trying to call in a coyote. I was right in the middle of my best dying rabbit impersonation when out from the timber came 3 deer.

Next deer season I'm gonna blow a preditor distress call. It worked last night.


Sorry the pics are of low quality but it was getting dark and I was in digital zoom.




After probably fighting the last couple of months now they can be friends again.....




Gonna be shed hunting here in the next month or so also. Can't wait to see this one next year.........

its amazing how that can happen good luck next season, and is it just me or is that doe behind the big guy an absolute tank?
Tim

It's not just you    :eek:

I was looking real hard through my camera and my other optics that I had with me looking for pedicals, or however you would say that, the base of shed antlers. Not there, I do believe that that tank is a doe.

And we've had alot of snow and ice for the last month or so, for Oklahoma anyway. Getting 1-3" of snow right now as we speak.

I spent an hour or so before the superbowl hunkered in under a hill watching a cut cornfield with the spotting scope and binos.  TO my suprise there were numerous deer braving the subzero windchills to get out into the corn and try to make enough energy to stay warm.  I saw two exceptional deer.  The first was a nine pointer that would score in the high 140's low 150's.  He still had both his antlers firmly planted on his head and when he jumped two fences to return to the woods i kept wishing his antlers would fall off.  Oh well.  The second deer i saw was a doe that was having a tough go of it.  Apparently a gun hunter had taken a head on shot at her or maybe a severe quartering away shot.  There was a bullet would coming from her elbow area and it literally had been licked clean and was hairless.  Her shoulder was obviously broken and it had healed with her foot sticking straight out in front of her like a pointer to where she was going.  She looked as healthy as she could be and as bad as i felt for her i thought she might be able to make it through the winter with the high protein energy source of the corn field there next to her home.  
Seeing that deer made emotions run through my head like anger for an irresponsible hunter taking that unethical shot and hurt for watching her gimp across the corn field.  Yet it made me proud to see her making it the way she was.  Maybe ill see her next year when the season rolls around sporting some healthy fawns with her.  Hope everyone is staying warm out there.

Now I have permission from Tony the Trad. Bowhunter that shot the cat to post his picture.
There is some nice "Kodak Moments" !!!


We actually walked and found these fresh tracks....and folowd them.
 



We called Dave (the houdsman) over the radio to come to us with the dogs and just kept going after the cat. Here we found where it killed a deer. And that wasn't there the day before!
 


When Dave reached us with the dogs the chaise was on. It didn't go long but the cat jumped and took the dogs and us on a long run throu some beautiful country.
 


Finally we got to the tree and Tony placed a perfect arrow.......
 

 


Then the work started and Tony packed the cat out all the way !!!
