Jon Boy and Friends 2011 season

[Jon Boy]

None of these deer are big but I always enjoy sharing and hope you guys enjoy as well. I still have a WA archery black tail in my pocket so hopefully when I go home for christmas this week ill be able to connect on one.
First 2 are of my first scouting adventures in MT. It was my first year in MT and had a great time and learned a ton about western hunting. I had chances at alot bigger deer but it just never worked out. Elk always seem to be my weakness but not from a lack of effort, oh well theres always next year!
All of the deer and elk except my buck and my bros doe are from washington. Most of them are Blacktails from western washignton.
They may not look big compared to mule deer but if you uve ever hunted BTs on the wet side you know that any buck is a good buck.

I like the deer on the stick!!

Tried to put a muley on a stick like that. The stick was a log. We couldn't get the sucker tied up high enough. Would have worked pretty good if we were 7ft tall. Flat ground wasn't too bad, but any uphill or downhill was plumb brutal on the downhill guy. Hey, we saw indians do it on the tele so WTH.. There always seems to be something to laugh about from our early hunting days.

Congratulations looks like you all had a fun time.

Nice bucks! Shoot, I grew up in W. Oregon, so I know all about hunting BT's in rainforests - Nice work!

Wow that's a lot of animals in the dirt, good job was that all in one year?

 

[fiveptbill]

That is quite the collection of dead critters. My only complaint is the picture with the rifle pointed at the inside of your right leg. It is just a pet peave of mine when people have their firearm pointed at them or right at the camera. Muzzle control counts when the gun is on the ground too.

If the guy wants to shoot his junk off, let him.

 

[Jon Boy]

Not all of these are mine only the 3 point muley taken in the snow. All my buddies send me there pics and I create an album to send out at christmas to everyone. And the reference to the gun pointed to the inside of my buddies leg, it was unloaded.

When I moved to MT I was wondering where all the rain and thick shit was cus thats all I had ever hunted before

Agreed, I tried it once and if I have any say I'll never do it again.
