Grip and Grin Pictures I don't really care for.....

Sorry - to me it looked like a made up image/story. It looks like he’s on the skirts of city limits in that picture. And with a buck he singled out and spent hunting “hiking” and grinding it out 😀 for 40 days to get. To each their own. Weird.

Made up story... I spent more time on this hunt than any other in my life. From the valleys to 8000 feet we climbed, hiked, drove, and glassed then repeated over and over. I watched yard bucks fall and saw some hard earned mountain bucks hit the dirt. I saw more true 200" deer hit the ground than I've ever seen in my life. The last day we hunted high and the plan was to hit this farm at the end of the day if we weren't successful up there. I got there with less than an hour to spare. I was just going to settle for a deer. Meat in the freezer. This buck just happened to be on that farm at 4:42pm on the last day. I hadn't seen him since August and that was 3-4 miles away. No made up story. Just luck. Or maybe it was supposed to happen this way. Who knows? Long story short... Talk your crap and your made up assumptions. This was a hard fought season and I'm proud of it all.
 
And to be clear... This deer was a buck I had found while scouting 262. It wasn't on my list. It just happened to end up this way. I know how the FWP story read.73497884_558812501351976_6394336074650353664_n.jpg

lota excellent quotable stuff there

keep hammering
 
Not to distract from an excellent picture thread, but to @mtmedic - I’m in no way making fun - Last MT deer permit I drew - very low odds to draw - I took an excellent dink on the last day. Turned out he was 5, but regardless I would have been better off to let him be. I wouldn’t have starved. Did the same thing late in the season this year on my general deer license and don’t regret it. Congrats on your fun season.
 
I've seen a bunch of bear photos like this....

am I the only one thinking, "man I hope that pic was worth the time it took to get all the grit and pine needles off of the flesh side."

this photo would be gangster if they took the photo with all of them lying on top of the hide - maybe even shirtless.
Joe Exotic would do it
 
Wow, a lot of contenders but Jace just dunked on the thread with that last one. Like a Normal Rockwell painting.
 
Another one from this past fall I don’t care for. It’s not so much his attire, since he was dressed reasonably for the hunt and had mittens like Randy suggests, although his shoes should have been boots. It was his attitude about everything. He didn’t want to help with the processing, he didn’t want to take a picture for me, he kept saying what’s mine is his, he kept bothering me about masks, and he sat directly behind the barrel when I did get a picture. I don’t think I’m gonna take him again this fall.
