Here's one from this fall, of my son who shot his first ever early-season goose. It was a proud moment. One I'll never forget.

This one seems to mean the most to me for various reasons. It was with my daughter, it was a long long hike and hunt to find rams, and we were rewarded in the last canyon we looked in with this huge ram in such a pretty setting.
