• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

So I guess it's my turn...

Here's a pic of my dad, his friend, and I going Pheasant hunting last March. Got 6 as you can see and it was a lot of fun. We also had a guide who used a dog.

My gun is a 20Ga Beretta Urika AL391
My dad's is a very old Parker Trojan 16Ga. ( I think these are becoming pretty hard to find)
The other guy had a 12 Ga something. Maybe somebody can ID it.

Hi tonym,

"Excellent pic, she got the bow down perfect. Took me time to figeure that out."

I believe that ladies catch on to the the "bow to the silver king" figured out quicker than us hard headed men. I will post on the thread you mentioned this evening.

Thanks,
Bill

dougo,

I don't need a Camelbak, so this isn't a contest entry, but... if you want to see some wildlife shots, this is for you. Enjoy, and thanks for the contest.

This is my favorite pic. I got this lucky shot on a recent camping/fishing trip. I was out on the water in my kayak and was able to get pretty close to this guy. He decided I was too close and flew away and I got him just as he was taking is first flap of the wings. This was an awesome trip, I didn't catch any fish :( but it was great being out on the water and relaxing around all the wildlife.

Evolute, those are so good! My favorite is the sleeping sea lions. Thank you for sharing.

Those are some fantastic photos! :thumbup:

This picture came from the hills near Sandy, UT. I was climbing when I noticed these critters. I sunk my crampons into a less-vertical section of ice, and snapped this picture. Can you find 'em all? (3 I think)

Hey D25! You HAVE TO invite me for some ice climbing over there. It looks great! Here ice climbing season doesn't last long.
