Let the work begin.
« on: November 06, 2009, 08:10:53 PM »
How bout some good pictures of us in the heat of battle...........as in what have I got myself into shooting this animal.

Here's one of me sweating my guts out wondering why I keep doing this to myself.

Just out with My cousins cow in tow.

'08's bull. 35 pounds over weight and feeling every step. :(

Lets see your pic's.

Another angle. Hard to keep up packing all the gear and trying to get pics at the same time. :chuckle:

I would say that these photo's really capture the essence of what hunting is all about. It goes way beyond pulling the trigger or releasing the arrow. There is so much more involved.

Nice photo's capturing the side of hunting some on the outside are not aware of.
