Got this weird buck last week. Pumped after failing (again) on my cow tag. Still got a late doe pronghorn tag coming up, have even less of an idea what I'm doing with pronghorn than elk.

Good to have that one out of the gene pool. It would be interesting to know its age. Congrats!
Brought him by CPW and they thought it was from trauma not genetics, but who knows? From my understanding, at least 4.5 as he had all the adult teeth.
Gonna look a little funny on the (exterior) sauna wall, might hang cockeyed...
Fifth elk... first bull. A bit of a story that I will share when I recover. Psyched!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3cb794d041.jpg
Yeah Yeahman!
^yeahman!!!
Right on, congrats you guys! Cool buck!
Nice spread on that elk too!
That looks like a great time. I haven't the first idea of how duck hunting works. I love shooting trap though!Quote:

Impressive, love the mount! Congrats!!!
Some solid work in here. That AK elk is thicccccccc. Rev with the straps of green as always, and a great first bull from Yeahman. Awesome to see.
Haven’t been taking many pics of the ducks this year, but I’m counting my blessings with this dog. The switch flipped and she loves it.

PS: This thread delivers :biggrin:
Hit my goal of 50 birds this season, and thrilled with the girls work, calling it a year and going to enjoy some early skiing and relaxing.

For anyone who might be interested, Zappos has Zamberlan Baltoro, Cresta, and Vioz Lux on sale right now, and Scarpa Ribelle HD Lite with good size selection at a really good price. Really good mountain boots all.
EDIT: Here's a $35 off >$175 code Zaps emailed me [have no idea if it's personalized, single use, or is the same one they email everyone] QKAQ-P5DQR5-FXGRAY
I can vouch for the Ribelle HD Lite, having put a hundred miles or so on training trails. I've also owned the leather Ribelle HDs since 2020, and would take them up the Matterhorn.
The synthetic Lite model lacks the metal hardware of the leather original, but that may be a plus for those who get them wet every time they put them on. The HD Lite also seems to start out a tiny bit softer than the HD, which seemed to have a little bit of a break-in period. Pretty sure it's the uppers though. They have the same stiff alpine soles, yet with enough rocker and upper flex that they walk like a backpacking boot. Srsly they walk really well, even without a qualifier that the Ribelle HD and HD Lite are true alpine boots stiff enough to front point and hold crampons all day.
These Scarpas have a bit more width than LaSportivas and even other Scarpas, but a full Euro size up from my running shoe size gave my relatively normal feet a righteous up and downhill fit with aftermarket insoles, and the soles of the 45 Scarpas are still smaller with slightly less BSL than my 10.5 runners and 44 training boots.

Love this thread. Unfortunately, or fortunately I dunno....I spend more time thinking about hunting than I do skiing. Spent lots of days a field this year, but only put down an antelope for myself. Helped my kids a lot (got my son his first deer and my daughter another loper, also helped a friend get his bull...the fucker actually took my shot!)
