I only have two "big ones", excepting bears which I have ZERO pics of... killed a few big bears 20-30 yrs ago...dad has a few old pics...
My 11' Shiras killed not too far from Greenhorns.... maybe his distant cuz... 90 yards, 30-06, 46 wide grosses 155...nets 152.
My 10' Bull... which is by far my most treasured critter. Hunted many, many hard years for a bull like this. Spent 7 hours wading through knee to crotch deep snow...cramping up by noon, but continued on...knew it was my last day hunting that year and knew the conditions were right to find a good bull... found him. 90 yards...06'... 24 inch 4ths...383 gross, 373 net...
Not sure where my muley pics are in all my photobucket albums, but nothing to speak of. Couple 130 bucks... Fun hunts... but haven't found the big guys yet! Same with lope, only killed 4 bucks so far and they are just lil'n's....
07? Whitey, Priest Lake, ID. 135 gross. 30-06...90 yards (I should say, I cant think of any recent kills that WEREN'T 90 yards! :0) )
Some great critters on here...

Biggest elk, from Wyoming in 2011. Probably my favorite, too, as I put in a whole lot of time scouting and found this bull 4 days before the season. Great stalk (crawl) across a pancake for a 100 yard shot with the .300 Wby
Suppose I'm breaking the rules with 2 photos. The evening before opening day:

Winner by default in the bear category
2010 MN Black Bear taken at seven yards on the ground with my bow right outside the minneapolis/ st paul metro area.
We drug him out as it was only 50 yds to a four wheeler path and took him to my family farm with walk in freezer and weighed him he dressed out at 168 lbs. Again not big but avg size bear taken in MN.

Kind of a tough one on antelope for me...have several that gross score in that 77-79 range.
I like this one, and IIRC, it grossed just over 80.

I have killed my share of critters but nothing like you guys. Here is my humble entries.
Black Bear - Dec. 5 2011 - West Virginia - Savage .270
Antelope - Sept. 11 2011 - Wyoming - Savage .270
Whitetail - Nov 2007 - West Virginia - Savage .270
The pronghorn is probably my favorite. Got him back from the taxi real quick, here it is in my office

My best archery Dall ram. I love being able to say that. Alaska, Brooks Range 2008. I think 36 inches long and I can’t remember the bases.
One of my favorite stalks, I started hiking up the mountain around 10PM in my whites in plain sight of the rams. Around 2 am it was dark enough I couldn’t see my pins anymore and I was high enough to be out of their sight so I slept under a rock outcropping. It was freaking cold. After it got lighter I had to hike up a little more and then started crawling down above them. I crab crawled down to the 7 rams from 60-40 yards away and I couldn’t see the legal ram. I peaked up a little more and he was bedded 37 yards away right below me. I had to wait until he stood up. I must have sat there for an hour waiting, it was really neat. I remember thinking this must be what it is like to be a Dall ram. Laying there listening to stream below, rocks rolling down the hill and the big quiet from everywhere else. Sorry so long winded, better story than ram.

November 11, 1985 central Colorado. Used Mad Max at about 100 yards or so.
It was my first year and I was ready to rumble. The season was almost over and I didn’t have an elk yet. My father was busy feeding 5 mouths and didn’t want to take the day off work. I knew how to work the system and had to pull out the mom card and begged. So we get to go hunting! I'm pretty sure my dad was being a bit of a butthead and is hiking 100 miles an hour up some severely steep stuff to get even. I say screw that old man and sit down to eat something. I see what looks like a big boulder back down in the valley in the aspens. Through my scope (no one I knew carried binos) on 3 power it looks like a cow. I wave my father back down to me. He looks through his 4 power scope and sees the cow as well. Says yep and he starts back up the hill. I turn my scope to 9x and the cow now changes to a pretty decent bull. My father starts saying some choice words when he looks through my scope. Off we went. I will NEVER forget that day. Sadly, after another 19 bulls he is still the biggest. What a wind bag.

This thread sure don't suck. Enjoyable pics and tales.
My best goat (though Upper Deck tells me I passed better goats earlier that day!).
WY 2011
77" - Shot at 250 yards with 7MM
Upper Deck and I watched a ridiculous number of antelope in a creek bottom below us all evening. Towards dark this guy stood up in the tall sage and made himself known. It was a mad dash to close the distance before shooting light was gone. UD was watching the whole show through his spotting scope so I knew I couldn't biff the shot or I would never hear the end of it. Hunting buddies are like that! I CAN NOT WAIT TO GO BACK TO WY AND CHASE GOATS. FRICKEN' FUN TIMES!
