Amen to that,its gettin tougher and tougher to see what we see,let alone being able to put one down...it seems year after year ya got to put in alot more time and energy to see quality animals..Having said that,i dont mind doing that in fact i beleive the harder ya got to hunt,the more rewarding it is if your fortunate enough to squeeze the triger on one..Loss of habitat and a predator problem that in my mind is way out of control has taken a huge toll on the herd..IMHO

1971...my great grandpa...he hunted hard into his mid 80,s..one of the hardest hunters and most knowledgable mule deer hunters i will ever know.

That deer is long arming the hunter lol!

Nice bucks but I gotta ask, what's with the duct tape?

it was a little on the warm side so we tape the ears and nostrils...keeps blowflies and hornets from crawling in the openings and getting into the carcase and laying eggs...old trick a packer taught me..

Smart. I'll remember that. Thank you.

No, thank you for sharing. I love seeing old pictures. I did not take enough pic's early on, I have got much better about it. I want to be able to sit down with my kids some day and look back. Pretty cool you have pic's for that far back.
