I know this is a ice fishing web site. But after seeing some of the Trophies that were posted under ex-Lt "Your favorite Gun", and after ice fishing season ends we are all so busy. The days get longer and we spend less time on the web. So lets post some of our Trophies or favorite pictures of whatever Hunting, Fishing, family, friends, Scenery etc! If you posted a pic on the "YFG" that ex-Lt started post another of it here and tell a little about it!

Here is a Picture of a dandy Bull the ex-LT harvested. Nice European mount. Whats the story ex-LT?

Place I used to hunt deer for years when we lived on the "dark-side". I saw a small herd or fresh sign there every last time, so when we moved over here, I scouted and they were crossing a small creek, going and coming every day at the same spot. I took my wife in there before first light and we split up, I crossed the creek, she went on down about 50 yards and set up. Soon as my feet hit the other side, they came through single-file, a dozen cows, calves, then a spike and then this guy. I was ready. A double lung shot dropped him where he stood. Only seconds had passed since wifey and I split up and I crossed...she called me on the radio, "You gotta be kidding me!"

I knew they would cross in front of one or the other of us...took us all day to pack him out.
Th' "Don's" textbook elk hunt

thanks fer posting Big Ice-man!

OK what do you mean by the dark side? What cal. rifle did you shoot him with? That all day pack, I have been there many times. Make those steaks taste that much better. Until you get signed on to the photobucket and you want any pictures put on just let me know always gald to help out a friend! BI

just a joke...when we lived over on the other side in Sublette Cty... we still have a small place over there we use in the summer. rifle, 30.06 Remington 700 180 grain nosler, which is pretty much responsible for all the meat in the freezer, yeah, it was quite a bonding experience for us. She named the elk "Fred" before we ever got him back to the truck. Too long a story to put in this thread. I hope the guys who post to your thread will also include their stories. Alright Big Ice, step up to the plate with that big bull you shot! Thanks again, BI !

Hunting pics and stories, now you opened a bucket of worms

I have tons of pics and stories.

and I had a very lucky year this year. But Will only bore you guys with one at a time LOL.

I spotted a good bull the night before but the cow that was with him had me pegged and I couldn't get closer than about 100 yards. So the next morning I thought I'd give them a rest and moved to the next drainage, well I spooked this guy and a cow and they took off and about a quarter of a mile later I find him again. He had the bull from the night before pinned in the middle of the road just hammering him. Every time this one came down on the other you could hear him go oommph! They were so busy that I was able to sneak up within about 15 yards and when he let the other one up he finally spotted me and I let him have it, one arrow and he ran about 100 yards and piled up nice and close to the road. Really wished I had somebody with a video camera behind me also when it was time to put him in the truck, it was a chore. Oh and I cheated I used a crossbow on him just didn't have time to practice with the bow this last summer.

Nice bull ex-Lt. and I know the story about why you call him fred

Wyohunter....Great Bull and cool story!

My best muley.......I was set up overlooking an alfalfa field. Set up in a giant hay stack.....made out of small square bales. Built me a blind with them complete with a benchrest. Sunset neared and here came the parade, there had to be a hundred deer in the feild. The bucks would get bigger the later it became. It was nov. 1st and they where harrasing the does. Until this huge bodied ol boy jumped the fence, he hit the ground with a loud chestey grunt. Every buck in that field turned and looked at him and quit harrasing the does, I knew he was the dominant buck! It was to funny!
One shot with the 270...at probably 400.......good thing I had my hay benchrest!

Yow, nice buck, Dogg...looks almost non-typical...at least in the recurve shape.

Well Wyomhunter, I'm glad Mr Big Ice opened that can of worms ...pretty soon, sooner probably than we'll be ready for it, the ice will be gone or just too bad to walk on...guys can make these picture posts sorta like a last wahoo! Nice bull, great story,
Don

BigZee44,
Thats definetley a wall hanger.
Just discovered the Smallies at the Gorge last summer, We didn't catch any thing like that though. Here is Mels first smallie she did better with the Koks add beat us all with a 4lber.

BigZee44 · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 03, 2007, 01:06 PM »

Wyohunter,
Thats a nice koke. I hear that the smallmouth fishing in the gorge can be really good. I know a guy from home (washington) that has done really well out there in some tournaments. I am planning a trip to the gorge sometime during open water this year. Any bass in wyoming is a good one!
