As He Lay
« on: October 13, 2025, 12:03:13 PM »
This is always one of my favorite threads every year.  Pics of your deer/bear/elk... whatever... on the ground when you first walked up to it.  Before you lay hands on it.  I'll get us started with my sister's opening day muley.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Opening day.

 The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Nice shots, everyone. Little pathfinder should be renamed Hawkeye. He's placing those shots like a pro! :tup:

Shot a nice 3 point opening morning.  After about 40 minutes of searching, this is how I found him.
