That would be true, everyday in the field at this point in life is to be appreciated and cherished regardless of the outcomes. but I sure like looking at the pictures on here.

WMU-349, Oct 1st 2024, hunting in the rain.
I called this bull with raking and bull grunts.
Shot him with .35Whelen, 250gr Hornady IL.
That's my buddy Jordan in the first pic and then at his shop.
In the 4th pic you can see the bullet hole right behind the front leg, it was recovered from the hide on the right side.
Might not get out to hunt deer, so figured why not throw out these pics, might be all I got this year.

Congrats to everyone who’s had a successful harvest this year—great to see the hard work paying off! And for those still out there, best of luck, and may the big one cross your path soon. I’m gearing up and can’t wait to be back in action for next season myself. Keep the stories coming; it’s motivating to see everyone’s adventures!

^ Such a great self timer pic that you took, one of the best I think I've seen of a solo hunter and such a magnificent set of antlers.

Will do. I'm doing two. One of each game bird in Alberta and the other of different ruffed grouse colour phases.

Knocked down a sausage doe in archery season as I have a 12 year old this season that is trying to get his first big game animal. Figured whitetail season would be spent guiding him mostly.
Had him out opening day. Saw a dozen deer, 1 bull moose and he passed a young buck at last light.
Second night of the season, I had to bump him outta the way and take a golden opportunity when a bull elk walked out onto our whitetail field.
143gr eldx out of the 6.5prc
166 yards.
1 shot
Both lungs grenaded the bull tipped over in less than 5 seconds.
I wish so much i had bought him an elk tag. We did not expect to see one there, or that would have been a heck of a first animal for him to take.
You better believe he has an elk tag in his pack now.
Hopefully, I'll post a pic of my boys first deer here soon. Now our freezer is healthy, so I'll step back into the guiding roll where I was.
