nice pics michael and marty. Hey Michael, we need to talk some time about the turkey hunt. I'll be down at Corey's place the 3rd weekend in Jan , from fri, til monday. come join us. later DB

Wow, great pix guys!  

That E. Diamondback is huge!  Believe it or not, I'd luv to see one as long as it didn't surprise me real close  

The Osceolas...well you guys know I'd luv to see some of them!!!      

Outstanding pix one and all...any more???

Any pix of Gene's 5-n-1 sit hunt?

As a matter of fact- there are- on the house computer, so while the in-laws are kibitzing-I'll try and locate them, Merry Christmas eve to all and to all......Good hunting!

This has been a GREAT thread to just sit on the sidelines and follow.  Joe

Hey, wait a minute...where was all the hoopla and grand prizes for the 300th post     I cannot believe I missed it by 100!

Seriously; I'm really enjoying all the pictures and stories.  Especially the bearded Biggie shots.

You asked for it Steve! Okay this is this years opening weekend buck- I actually shot him last year and he ran around the lease with the arrow sticking out of him for months  :(  . That wasn't a good feeling. I did not know it when I shot him, but the broadhead and about an inch or two of shaft were still in him! The were under his backbone and encassed in grissle. No sign of infection and completely healthy. He and I had a score to settle. I won.

When I hit him the year before-almost to the day- he hit the ground and I thought I had spined him. I reached for the kill arrow and he lept up and ran. Peanut couldn't find him and I was depressed until he was seen running around- then mixed emotions took over. Kinda like when your mother-in-law drives off a cliff, but it's in your new truck!

Maybe Les still has pics of him with the arrow sticking out.

Enjoy the Hunt.

Marty, I think that buck beats Schafer's antelope on doggedness of pursuit...one year watching and waiting trumps 27 miles.  Way to stick with it  

You can shoot deer down there until you run out of arrows.

Guru- here he is with 4 of em- Maybe the legend has grown? How about this- 4 confirmed, but I'm thinkin there was 5!

Another good trip to see me. He's a killin machine! Peanut found the big one half alive and made it an interesting morning!

Gene killed soooo many hogs one trip- this is how I put him on the airplane!! Donna wasn't very happy with me. You all should be thankful- I had to revive him from heat stroke. It wasn't pretty!

Hey Marty!!!

Do you think you could post some of that wonderful sausage cooking video that I know you have.  Remember when Whitey Mitten was there and you were putting him on the hogs?  I would love to see that.      

Then Ferrett would know just what type of host you really are!

Merry Christmas All.

I wanna see the footage again of Marty stalking and catching the live hog on film. Priceless! Who has it and can anyone post it again? UB

Sooooo, the 5 n 1 was just another "big fish" story after all.....hmmmmm.....        

Marty catching a live hog.....Dang, I'd luv to see that one!
 

Well, I have both, but I know about as much as you Barry  about puttin that on here. Whitey would be the man- maybe you can call him Barry- he won't answer my collect calls anymore.

Guru...it's on Tradgang somewhere. But typical of Marty, it's a small one.

I ain't buyin the 5 in one story either. I only see 4....

I saw the  ENTIRE MArty DVD last month...I am not sure we should get Whitey in here...for Marty's sake   :D  

He definitely has some impressive stalking abilities.  He's heck on coons too!

Steve O- do not believe everything you see from Whitey- he is one talented film editor!!!

I agree with you Steve. There are two sides to every story. Whitey being a truthful guy, did not edit out any of the commentary and footage that put Marty in line with the greatest guides and most generous hosts who couldn't take blame for the shortcomings of his guest (Whitey himself). However; at the end of the clip, being sooooo thruthfull, Whitey had to show Marty on many of is own personal hunts that weren't so flattering. Videos don't lie. Ha! Ha!
