WOW! Hope you never went hunting with them again!

Hahahahaha. Thanks for making a bad day better! Hope you find mine out there. I need new batteries and a better SD card!

Great Ram. That looks like seriously tough country. Awesome write up.

Hand load 12G with 7 1/2.

Great memories for both of you. AWESOME job Dad. I love seeing that smile! Keep it up.

That's funny! I really wish I had a honeyhole there to tell you. Love the honesty!

Congrats Man! Glad somebody from this site won them. No offense but I wish it would have been me!

They weren't flying as good as last year. Slow start and flying LOW! We could've limitied by 8:00 but my buddies were more worried about getting to IHOP. One buddy challenged us to the most birds with 1 box of shells. He got 1. My other buddy got 4 but I am sure he snuck back to the truck for more shells. I got 7. It should've been 9 but 2 birds kept flying after I shot most of their feathers off. I quit the follow through when I saw the feathers! They were like P51 Mustangs dropping their wing tanks before dogfighting! I'm still MAD!

WOW! Congrats on a GREAT Buck Lance!

Crowds were about the same as last years opener. Had to instruct some hunters on shooting at low flyers (these guys walked out in front of us as we were already in position at first light) peppered us with a shot or 2. The action seemed a little bit slower than last year.

What a Great opportunity. You have a great way with words and some incredible pictures. Thanks for sharing your hunt with us. Can't wait to read about the rest of the hunt.

great Pics.

I will have to check and see if there are any more.

That is a good assumption. Both have a bad affect on paint jobs. Welcome. You will become addicted. Like the others said, Just stay smart and aware and it should be fine. We have never had any issues down there. It is beautiful country and you will enjoy it. Keep putting the miles on those boots to get ready for your hunt. Thanks for your service. You guys ROCK!

NICE Bucks! I love his hat in the bottom pic!

Very NICE!

+1 on the coffee grounds.

Beautiful country. You were really in shape to go traipsing around those mountains. Especially at 9000 ft. There ain't no Oxygen that high. What great memories to share with your Dad. Congrats on some Fantastic Trophies! Thanks for sharing with us.

Awesome day. Love the Brittany. Fun time with Dad!

That salmon is a toad! Great fun with family!

Great Memories. Those are some nice bucks.

Nice Bucks.

Great Pics. So much fun watching Momma's and cubs!
