Old Duffers were young once.

John... I miss it too. Here in Missouri, it's hard  tellin what kind of pollutents are in the water. Even pristine streams out west can have Giardia and that's a bad one for sure.
Got a dose of it elk huntin once... about 5 miles from the trailhead. It was a very unpleasant time!

This is the only antelope picture I have that's not on a slide... no way to copy those!
I killed a number of bucks, but always made sure I shot some does each year for freezer goodies. (multiple tags)

It was often very cold in the late antelope season and contrary to what's commonly associated with antelope hunting...weatherwise. I hunted them in the snow. That's kinda cool!  :D

You mean you have more pics on slides, and we will never see them? I scan slides on my flatbed scanner, and I hereby formally announce that I will start with a ten buck donation to get you a scanner too!

Or, we can get Curtis to make you one.

I used to hunt during the firearms season with my bow... these days I retreat to my bunker!

If you don't think there are some idiots out there carrying firearms, talk to Guru!

 

The bloody spot is the exit wound. 650 grain arrow pushin a big ole Magnus I with bleeder.

[Charlie Lamb]

and since I brought it up here's another "aftermath" photo of the big Magnus.

Charlie's catchin up to you Ron. Better post some more pics. Your both puttin on a great show.

[ZIP-R]

These picture are super great. I now have two new heros...Charlie and Ron, I'm probably a little partial to Ron as he has the home court advantage    

Charlie, It might take some work but, take a pic of the slide while it is projected on a screen. Then you could possibly scan or download the pics from the camera. Don't know if the lighting would be an issue with the camera though.

I have a question. you all should put a photo album togather. the question is how old do I have to be to be an old duffer??

[Chuck Wyatt]

Charlie Lamb,

I've enjoyed all the pics you guys have posted, but my fave so far is that mountain goat on page 20.  That is an amazingly beautiful pic.

[Charlie Lamb]

Chuck... here's another critter.

[Jumper]

You guys are making my day! This is SO AWESOME!!!!!!

[Charlie Lamb]

Scotty... glad you're enjoying them!! Sure wish some others would put some pics up... I'm about out. (in a couple more days)

Here's one of my favorite elk meadows. Not far from the scene of the bear and the bouncing bow and my first bear kill.

[Charlie Lamb]

Don't know if this one will come through.

[Chuck Wyatt]

Charlie,

I've saved a lot of this thread's pics to my harddrive becuase most of you guy's pics won't be a mag or book.  

The "goat' was retitled to "High-lonesome".  The little ferret critter is called "wanna-fight".  

[John Nail]

Both of these hogs weighed 215lbs. The one on the left was killed by the one on the right.

OK, here's an old one for you target archery buffs.  This was the 1961 NFAA Nationals at Crystal Springs Arkansas.  Ben Pearson (and others) hosted it for two years.  It's normally held way up north.   Since it was close, we went.  Me and my Dad are in there somewhere.  There were approx 1000 competitors.  This is a few of them.  You won't see a longbow.  I didn't    The photo was a wide angle which broke in half years ago after being folded in a scrapbook.  I scanned the left and right halfs....Van
