Post your Hunting/Fishing Pics

This pic makes me drool, effing beautiful.

 

can some one explain that please...
I've never been hunting and I don't know the details of how hunting "works" other than shooting something with either a gun or bow.

 

if you ever get a chance at a buck that size 99% of the time your in a high fence ranch where you pay by the size, 150+ 160+ 170+ etc. 200+ inch deer are extremely expensive, i wouldnt be surprised if this deer cost over 15 grand. then you have a trophy fee, guide tip.. shits crazy.
just a couple random outfitters i quick searched for you-

also tried to find you i seen a year or so back but i couldnt find it, they actually tranquilize the bucks when you get there, let you hold them/ measure them and make sure that it is the buck you want before you harvest it. that just blew my mind that people do that. that same ranch sold fawn bucks to people for 3-8 grand and would let it roam their property until mature enough for you to harvest. if the fawn came from a previous record buck they would collect viles of its semen for their studding process and pay you per vile collected, i believe one guys on there that was at over 260+ sold his viles to them for like 30 grand over a couple years if i remember right. then he harvested it after he made the money.

 

x2. the chance of seeing a buck that size in the wild is slim to none.(closer to none than slim)

 

My shotgun (Savage 220F 20 ga) bucks this year...not huge but they are sure feeding me well!!

 

I got this 11 point the second day of buck season here in WV. Field dressed at 134 pounds.
I got the mount back a couple weeks ago, the taxidermist did a great job.

 

As awesome as a deer that big is, I feel like a Montana guided elk or bear or cougar hunt would be more bang for your buck... Or a guided moose, caribou, grizzly hunt in Alaska...

Look at that view! What I would give to live in Montana.

 

Wow, that is news to me! Not saying its untrue...at all! I just never heard of that before. I know guys that charge $3k to hunt their property in Montana...for wild mulies. I knew white tails are big business but that scenario sounds much more like horse breeding than hunting! LOL!

 

Thats pretty much what it is. Rich guys paying to kill something.

 

i actually looked into a brown bear hunt in alaska, the cheapest i could find was atleast 8 grand. too rich for my blood..

yeah thats basically what it is. breeding stud bucks with good genetic does to produce the cream of the crop and get people with more money than sense to come kill them.. must be nice to have money. i'd rather take that money and purchase or lease a good amount of land and do it the right way. they may not be 200 inch deer, prob wont be 160 but i would feel much better knowing i did it myself without having to buy them like livestock.

 

Not sure if I posted this one.

 

That isn't true for everywhere. There are still places where 200" deer still roam free. 3 of my friends have over 200 " deer on their walls and there is no high fence hunting here (Alberta). Have seen 5 posted on the forums taken here and Saskatchewan this year free range over that size as well. Having said that, I still haven't been able to take one myself that big. But I do have 2 on the wall that gross over 170. Maybe someday.

 

A girl that works with me hit this 19 point buck this weekend in Maryland. Her weapon of choice was a 2012 Dodge Charger!

 

Get to salvage it? How bad off is the charger?

 

Found the match to one of my bull sheds from last spring

 

My buddies 1st buck ever with his crossbow


In the back of my Taco

 

AWESOME buck!! I would waste a well insured vehicle on it too!

A few duck hunting shots.......well, mostly dead ducks.

 

What kind of ducks are the slim tan billed and the green head mottled back?

 

That is a Scaup and the tan long billed ones are marganzers.
