Backcountry Trophies

[400out]

Bone, is that your dad in the pic with you? That's the best shot of them all

I don't mean any offense by this but no matter how hard you feel you've worked or how much sweat you put into getting into a basin or far off drainage...there will likely be someone who will work harder.

Guess it depends on your definition of "harder". Finding other people's success photos and jacking their spots? Sure, you can be willing to hike further/faster to get there... but if you aren't willing to put in the time exploring basins and ridgelines to find the areas deer are accruing in the first place then you'll always be chasing someone else's tail.

Hirshey, I would consider that hunting smarter, not necassarily harder and I do agree with you. Great pictures all!

I'll break the mold and post a scenary picture. A really easy spot to poach a honey hole if you are so inclined, have at it...somewhere around 20-25 miles from the air strip

Yep, thats my hunting partner.  9 Miles in by portaboat and boots.   Almost killed him, it almost killed me. Wheres the fun at shooting a moose close to the road.

I'm sure he was thinking that exact thing  great photo for the wall 

[boneaddict]

Yep, I believe its on both our walls.  I have the pic taped to my monitor at work as well.   That trip had more memories than most I have done.

Great pic of you and Idabooner there Bone. I sure like chewing the fat with your pops. 

Beautiful scenery/sheep Benny!

He enjoys it too Saylean, and the treats.

Some Backcountry Trophies don't have antlers.....

That one is eating well! I'm surprised I don't see more mosquito bites on that leg!

I want to see the pic of that buck hung up in the tree again, bone.  That was a cool shot.

[Miles]

Here's a backcountry buck with just the right amount of background and scenery.

The new pose is going to make a lot of back country (just off the road) animals a lots easier to post up 

[Miles]

That buck was further from the road than most individuals are willing to walk in a day...

I'm still not posting any with distant scenery.
