Newbie with a few pics from Canada

[Evilsports]

Hi fella's. Figured I'd post up a few pictures of some of the animals we were lucky enough to harvest up here over the last few years. Lookin forward to checking out more of your critters too.

My two hunting buddies and me all got pulled for Muley a couple years back and all managed to find what we set out to. The velvet buck was bow killed and the other two were muzzle loaders.







Couple magazines wanted some pictures so we got another hunting buddy to snap this.



This is the hunting buddy with the camera and he tagged out pretty decent that year too.



Few Canadian jumpers:





Went out a couple Christmas's ago to scout Muley while the women shopped. Happened across this albino 'yote and got off a lucky shot on him.



Mounted:



I got all kinds of pictures of local animals if you guys are interested. Between scouting pictures and my buddy running the local taxidermy racket I have a few decent ones kicking around. Cheers. Kevin.

Hey , do you have any room for a new hunting buddy.....


NICE deer. I would love to take one of those. Them racks are huge..

My brother is a Taxidermist also. Both our houses look like a zoo inside..

To be honest for the most part I only get out for a doe. Every couple years or so I'll get enough time off work to pattern a buck and hunt it, but for the most part it's meat first , heads an afterthought.






Probably the same reason I spend so much time sleeping on the couch.

Wow, some nice mounts there. I'd love to mount some more game, but my house now looks like a taxidermy shop the way it is. LOL

Nice shots! That buck in velvet looks like it must have scored very well.

I'm sure he did. I can't remember exactly what though. I wanna say 218ish. Meh whatever it was it was P&Y. On a side note, I told him next time he shoots a deer in the gut he should wipe it's mouth out before posing. Prick got that deer with my old bow on the first night of his first bow hunt ever. First day of the season. Lol. I told him it's all uphill from here! To his credit though he did spend a month and a half over the end of summer and into fall patterning that guy pretty much every night. Here's a pic of the same deer from a scouting night. Sorry for the quality.

Yeah we're lucky when it comes to critters. Lot's of nice ones, and not a pile of other hunters. A guy can pretty much hunt anywhere he wants. In my entire life of hunting, I've only been turned down one time.

Around here there isn't much posted private land, and the stuff that is posted is only posted you go introduce yourself and let them know you're gonna be on there land. Find out where the cattle are, where the gates are etc.

Only trouble is it's so damn flat up here, if you wanna put a stalk on something it's a time consuming process. lol Unless you find some coulees to hunt. Kinda works out good though when you're scouting. You really can see your dog run away for a few miles around here! (Or your llama)



I'll usually find some nice land to hunt on and go get permission. Then to seal the deal I'll bring the land owners a bunch of sausage after the season, and go clean up gophers out of there pasture land in the spring. Win/win.

Awsome pictures! Keep em coming.

Couple of mild Muleys behind my buddies garage. Give 'em a coule more years... (Right in town)



Pretty decent Elk rack. Shot locally by a group of poachers. Filled the poor fucker with .22 caliber and sawed the head off. Darwins law.. They were hunting muley and the guy that ended up keeping the head dropped his Muley tag on the ground and the fish cops went straight to his quansit and busted him. Fish cops ended up getting my buddy to mount the rack for there cabin at the lake.



Couple scouting pics. Sorry for the quality. I was experimenting with just holding my digital camera up to the end of my spotting scope.






Some of the wall action in my buddies shop:





Decent freezer deer:
