Pine Donkey

In our house we hunt year around. If it is not a hunting season, we are scouting, checking cameras or just looking for a coyote to shoot. Beyond this, we squeeze in as much fishing as possible. This is all made possible by my loving and supportive wife Chrystie. She works so hard to make sure we are able to spend so much time in the outdoors. For Chrystie, her idea of quality time in the outdoors involves her three labradors. She loves to take them for a hike or a swim at a lake. Each year as the application deadline nears, she decides to put in for deer and for elk. When the season rolls around she is not interested in a body punishing hunt in quest for a wall hanger. She is much more interested in a simple hunt that will give her a chance to put some meat in the freezer. Here is her buck from this year.

Great bear, congratulations!

This is good to hear! Grow antlers grow!!!

Happy birthday Ilene, hope it was a good one.

Face to face in a public place is the only way!

I always love your picture Doug, once again, increadible!

You might be waiting a long time for June 31 to roll around.

Too bad many of our leaders could not think as clear as this kid.

Somebody's watching you!

Wow, those are some toads! Love the drop tines.

Once again we need some popcorn while we watch this show!

This is great to see! Class act!

Great buck! His little buddy could be pretty nice next year also.

This is a story of self control and marksmanship with an itsy bitsy shooter by a woman against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself? While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my boyfriend we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere. She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me I would not be here today! Just one shot to my boyfriend's knee cap was all it took.the bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection. . . . . .

Unit 1 has no elk left in it, they all burned up. Best if you spend all your time in 4 with the little lady.

Did the tweet include those gun crimes that were committed with Fast and Furious guns?

My mom drew unit 27 cow. Not many women in their mid 70's chasin elk. She hikes year around, and has been known to leave some of us behind on the trail. She has not had a tag for several years, but is always willing to pack out meat.

I drew an archery bull tag and yes the streak lives on. You're going to get me stoned to death Robert. 25 straight elk tags! TJ If I could draw 25 in a row I would consider getting stoned myself! Seriously, it shows what dedication can do for you. I look forward to pics and stories.

Come on TJ, post what you drew...does the streak live?

Great story Tommy. This brings back several great memories of our kids feeding rescue calves. Thanks for brightening up our day whit the story.

Unit 1 archery bull for me, unit 27 October cow for my wife and daughter, unit 6b late bull for my son. Years of drought and now a flood!

Pass the popcorn please!

That's a bunch of horn their, Great buck.

Might not be legal in the city but subsonic .22 work wonders without all the noise of a regular .22. I assure you you will not be the only person the the east alley area doing it.

LMAO. This is so true.
