WOW! You guys do it all! Congratulations to your hunters and your crew. Thanks for posting.

Cool! Welcome to CWT.com and thanks for the report!

That's just AWESOME! Way to get them started early.

Thanks for the report from the Great White North. Glad you were able to check in. (In your absence, I've helped myself to some Lark wisdom for my signature. If it bothers you, just let me know.)

Looks Great! Well worth the wait! Thanks for posting.

Beautiful fox! Also, I like your gear vest. I've been looking for something to keep organized. Who makes it? Thanks.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes. If it's not too much of an imposition (or invasion of your privacy), pictures would be great too! It'd be cool to see the trial and error process as well as the finished product.

Thank you for sharing this. It is truly inspirational. He died as he lived. A hero. May his memory be eternal.

+ 1!

Beautiful! Thanks for posting!

Awesome! You need to update your signature: 2011 ARCHERY DEER -FILLED!

That's hard core! He could twist an ankle hiking down there. (I'd prolly set it up on the porch. )

AWESOME! Thanks for posting these.

Nope. As far as I can tell on my Covert II it's an either/or deal depending on what you select in the menu. What I usually do is set it for pictures first. Then I go check it and if I get pictures of something I think is video worthy I select the video option (but that's fairly rare because it's not easy to get a critter to linger long enough for good videos + I like pictures better because you can quickly tell if there's an animal in it as opposed to watching the whole video for a 1 second animal appearance.) It makes sense to have the operator make the pic. v. video selection because there is know way for the camera to know what you'd prefer for that particular event. With that said, there may be a way to pull still pictures from video but that would be something you'd have to do at home in the editing stage.

I thought the same thing. A no fun situation. I'm glad they're ok.

That's awesome! Must be great to live in a place where you hear something go bump in the night and think "Prolly those dang elk again!"

SHOOOOOTT!

Doug, I know you've studied photography. I know you've worked at your craft. But I must say, you have a gift! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Cool pics. Thanks for posting. And welcome to CWT.com!

Great buck! Congrats to both of you! Thanks for posting.

Welcome to CWT.com! Good call on hiring a guide. That will, among other things, obviate the need for question #4. You’ll have a great hunt and have an absolute blast! My only advice is to be ready to hunt ALL day (which I’m sure you are) and trust your guide (he’s probably out glassing as I type). Looking forward to the write up with pictures of your hunt! (And for the record, a 100 inch coues buck is a first second of the first day deer for me.)

The winter solstice and a full lunar eclipse at the same time? Makes me wish I were a Druid! Thanks for the information. I'll be setting my alarm.

+1 Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. It's good to examine our beliefs and philosophies on hunting (or anything else) from time to time. We either walk away with our point of view strengthened, modified, or completely changed. So I thank you for this thread too. Western hunting is much different than hunting in other parts of the country but I don't see how the 800 yd shot you described does not end with a hunter on his hands and knees half a mile from where he took the shot looking for the tiniest droplet of blood, just in case. Even if he thought it was a clean miss. That would disturb me immensely.

Wow! Very unique pictures! In the context of the first several pictures, I really like the one with the bobcat looking to its left. He looks very satisfied with his squirrel hunting prowess. Thanks for posting.
