Start a hunting thread. Mine are all old photos that I scanned into the computer.
My first goose, at age 12. taken in 1977 Shot with a Winchester m 1200 pump 20 ga with #5's. I started fly fishing the same year. My dog's name is Trix. Though she was a mutt of sorts, she sure could hunt. She flushes pheasants for God now.
My Dad looking over some country in Idaho's Selway Wilderness. 1985. His rifle is a Remington model 6 30-06
My Father in Law and I with Nebraska Turkeys. My shot gun is a Rem 870 12 and his is a Mossberg 12ga 1998.
My friend with his Lab 'Faith' with some Nebraska roosters and prairie chickens. Taken in 1996. He shoots a Browning Superposed o/u 12 ga. Back then I shot a Weatherby Orion o/u.
Nebraska Whitetail I took along the South Platte River near Ogallala in 1993. The rifle is a Ruger m77 carbine 30-06. The load was a Hornaday 165gr. With it's light weight and short barrel, it kicked worse than my 300 Weatherby.
My wife's first deer, a Western Nebraska Mulie taken in 1993 with her Browning BLR 308 and factory 150gr Core Loc ammo (when Remington made good ammo). This rifle is as good a deer rifle as any I know. The scope back then was a burris 3x9...way to bulky for such a trim rifle so now it wears a 4x Leupold. We fight over this rifle to this day. The scope has never shifted regardless of humidity or location. It fits nice in a scabbard and is hardly bulkier than a lever action 30-30. Were I to ever go on a guided horse back hunt....for anything from Bull elk to Dall Sheep, this is the rifle I would pack...we have that much faith in it. The rifle shoots 150gr hand loads either Hornaday or Nosler Partitions (which I would use for serious hunting.)
Me shooting rock chucks in Idaho - 1984. This was a rifle I saved and saved to get. I still own it. It is a Remington Classic m 700 .270 Winchester. I carried it this year deer hunting. The scope is a 3x9 Leupold. It too is very reliable. I have switched from 130gr bullets to 140gr bullets in it. BTW, Jack o Conner was one of my childhood heroes. I now mostly prefer heavy slow bullets, but the .270 gets the job done just fine.
We had a rogue badger making holes all over our lawn and garden when we lived in Nebraska. It called for my dangerous game gun: Winchester Safari Grade .458 Win Mag. One shot at the jumped badger did the job. The running badger in wheat stubble was no problem with the express sights. I miss this gun for some reason. Taken in 1994.
Taken a couple years ago, a 4'4" Banty Bamboo 3/4wt and my old Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt next to some fresh grizzly scat. I still have the gun but Don bought the rod back from me.
Taken a few years ago, my dad taking aim at some rock chucks with his Remington 22-250. I load his ammo, a 55gr Sierra.
Marlin 17 HMR in a varmint field here in Idaho. The 17 is a good ground squirrel gun.
I owned a Ruger Single Six 17 HMR....shown here with a dead ground squirrel. The gun was extremely accurate but louder than a 357 magnum.
Me hunting Spring Black Bear in Idaho back in 1984. The rifle is my Remington 270, the bullet I hunted most with was a 130 gr Nosler Partition. I passed up a 300 yards shot of a bear not 20 minutes after my dad took this photo. Too far for the 270, especially in all that brush.
My first rifle given to me when I turned 12. I still own it. It is a Winchester m94 30-30. I carried it a couple years ago deer hunting. M94's like this one are really fun to hunt with. It wears a Williams Peep sight.
So lets see some gun/hunting photos, old ones, new ones or both.
