A hot tip
« on: December 04, 2009, 12:27:43 PM »
I had a tip from two different members to chase down a pair of particular critters.  I ran out of vacation and had to work two weeks straight.  Well, I got up this morning and though it was ugly out (fog and dark) I headed to check it out.  I wanted to do it before the snow flies.   Well one the members mentions that I might see a nice bull.  I gandered at first light and I couldn't find what I was looking for.  I went to a different area and also struck out.  I got above the fog and it was beautiful.  Since I was in the hood and already invested in gas, I decided to take another gander.  I still didn't find what I was looking for but bumped into this fellow.  Its a bit cropped and blown up and grainy from the light I am sure.  This would be one of those doucment things versus art.  If you know where it is, please don't post it out loud out of respect for the tip giver. Thanks.   What a beast.  Lots of character.  I need to track down more permissions before I could get any better pics.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

He needs about three years.  

When I first saw him I thought he was attached to a wheel line.

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.

I like that hole on his right side.

Is that wrapped around his neck or just hanging on the hide 180degrees, but not 360?

I couldn't tell completely but there looks to be a line above his shoulder in that one profile pic and I think that is wire caused
