Hunting And Fishing Thread!?!

[Rafter H BBQ]

Nic and Pete went fishing yesterday… Nic was setting on the bank… Pete was going thru the brush to get to his spot… heard something… I’ve always told him if you hear a noise in the brush… back down, listen and observe!


He came within 20’ of a Mountain Lion! Fortunately, he has listened to his old man over the years… and knew what to do! Not that I have all answers… but glad he’s ok.

WOW! That could have been serious!

We don’t have them around here as far as I know…

If that was me I’d be cleaning my shorts afterwards

I noticed that the moon was orange here last night. I assume from the wildfire smoke.

Last day in Canada today and was fortunate enough to catch this 29 inch Walleye!
The last two days was phenomenal with our boat catching 90 plus Walleyes

Another sunrise pic from today

Just got back from South Dakota!
I drove there Sunday and hunted Monday morning for only 2 1/2 hours and this opportunity happened. The arrow was true on the 44 yard shot!
Woke up at 4:00 am this morning and came back home with a smile

Nice pronghorn! I have to ask, did you get that close to him or did he get that close to you? They are some wiley critters with great eye sight. Great job either way!

Thought I would add another funny...at least to me

I was in a ground blind and there were two silhouettes set on each side of the hay bale that was 20 yards away plus the fence crossing was 30 yards behind the blind.

My younger son and I have been out a few times this season.
We've let dozens of does and small bucks walk, but not last night.
Last night was the first hunt of what was supposed to be a 3 day trip, it got cut short with one well placed shot.
My son took this 185lb, 11pt at 105 yards while it was trotting after a doe, he was facing away and moving uphill, he slowed and turned a bit when a smaller buck tried to follow... BANG!
A .308 150gr JSP fired from a Savage 110 dropped his ass in his tracks.

My son was elated at both the buck, which is a really good one for South Bama, and his shot.
The decision was made to get this one mounted, son is getting a left turn, semi-sneak with the ears alert and wide eyes.
No freezer room and warmer temps meant that we left this morning to get this guy to the taxidermy man immediately.
Cut the trip short, but it's worth it for my son's new trophy.

My son finally got his mount back from the taxidermist.
Came out real nice, knew it would, Mike does awesome work.
