Hey, is Spitz's sisters hat making the rounds?

Looks like I'm not the only one who recognizes function and form in a hat around here!

Yikes, that is a great hunting trip! Congrats to her on her 1st buck and a real nice cow.

That buck is so cool, the cow elk isn't to shabby either. Congrats all the way around..

Pat, how were you not frozen in that photo? Wasn't it below zero over there?

All he had to do is stay close to Greenhorns gal,...she's hot enough to keep his heart rate up.

Anyone notice how a nice heart shape would fit in those antlers with both those birds looking though them?

Congrats to the G.F. on taking a nice cow and one cool looking old buck. That gal is obviously having a good time and enjoying the hunt, glad to see it.

So much for the .308 not being able to kill stuff. I have been impressed with mine so far this year - two elk have suffered complete pass throughs from the OYOA .308.

Last fall while on a sheep hunt, Pat was telling me how well his .308 set up worked. Decided to get one of my own. Glad I listened.

Looks like Pat's .308 has put a few more notches in the handle. And, Greenie now has a way to fill his Christmas shopping chores for his GF.

Congrats to all of you. That buck is awesome. I love shooting older class animals even if they aren't the biggest ones. Nice shot on the elk too.

What more could one want? Top notch all the way down.

It is top notch, rifle and scope both...BR and his stuff always is.

Unfortunately, it's also a little out of my "price point", (but only by a few K).

I'm sure hope GH makes more than me.

: )

 

[CGeminski]

Nice buck! Even better... you have an insanely HOT girlfriend who likes to hunt.... put a ring on her finger, you are a lucky man!
