Successful Year for the Hughes Boys
« on: December 17, 2015, 04:12:17 PM »
What a great year!  My dad (71 years old and still backpacks in with us), brother and I harvested 5 bucks and 1 bear in both Washington (2 bucks, 1 bear) and Montana (3 bucks)...all 4 pointers (at least on one side), all public land.  I had to crop a couple of the photos because it would give away the area and none of you are welcome there ;)

Fantastic! Looks like you had a great year, and the smiles say it all. Only thing better than success, is success with the family. Some nice mule deer you guys took, and a good looking black bear. Congradulations!!! :tup:

I recognize that spot!  Cropping didn't help at all!   :IBCOOL:


Couldn't resist.  Great bucks!

Yeah, that was meant to be a joke...the winking, smiley face is a little small to see though.  There are a lot of other parties where we hunt and we have enjoyed getting to know them.  I know that all are welcome on public land and I also know that we were the "new guys" to the area when we started...except for my dad who hunted there about 40 years ago.  The area is just a little full so out of courtesy to the other groups up there I didn't want to give it away by our photos.  But if you know where it's at, you're more than welcome to join us!

Nicely done. And no need for explanation on privacy of the area. You share what you want. Most of us enjoy the pics and stories and don't want someone else's spot. Congrats to you guys on a great year!
