Sunday Pic of the Day

[TOGIE]

I get it, but I'd hang that thing on the wall and enjoy it. Lot fewer like that than even 4 pounts.

Agree. I truly love it and love the uniqueness and fun of coming up with theories as to exactly how he broke it.

But damn would he be a beaut with a full set

 

[Hunting Wife]

Finally made it happen last weekend. I worked hard for this one.

 

[JustinsDad]

all done. i'll admit, i'm kinda wishing he wasn't broken.

don't regret taking the shot though, not even a little.

That’s an awesome skull mount. Anything unusual like that catches more attention anyway

Dogging the doe.
Don't know how many times she took him around the brush.

A small 3x4 mule deer that I doubt many here would get excited about.

The doctor told me I wouldn’t hunt this year. I worked my ass off since September and post holed through drifts for a ridiculous number of miles (for a 1 1/2 legged person) to find and kill him. I’m more proud of this one than just about anything I’ve ever killed. For some reason that blood on the snow summed up a lot of emotions for me.

you'd be surprised how excited i'd probably be about that buck even without a bum knee.

super glad to see that pic.

Its NOT about trophy status HW.
Very happy you dodged bullets safely and caught up with a buck. Tough year. A+ for determination and success.

Still playing catch-up as the weather turns and the snow starts disappearing. Always nice to be out, though!

First day of skiing with the fam. View attachment 252294
33 years of dropping a knee.
Man, it was fun.

That's impressive. 28 years for me and I can still do it, but I'm starting to eye those alpine skis. I don't know that I'll make it another 5 years... Isn't it amazing to look back at the gear we used to use!?

Grew up alpine/ cross country skiing back East. A girlfriend got me to try telemark in '90...sold my alpine gear the next day. Pretty certain I won't go back to alpine when the time comes.
I hung on to skiing my leather boots until maybe 5 years ago. I think skiing leather was far more strenuous. I also think the turn was more pure with leather. Plastic has its benefits, and I am fully on board. It has extended whatever leg strength I still have, but I do think it stresses the joints significantly.
Sad to see the decline in telemark skiers. But heck, if it were easy they would call it snowboarding.
