I watched this Barred Owl hunt Moles late one afternoon in the woods near my house. It caught the first one and ate it, then went down for a second, before flying away to a higher perch and devouring it. this particular shot was taken just after the owl caught its second mole.

Every year I build a snow sculpture in my front yard. This year I made a giant lure because I love Bass fishing and I'm ready for fishing season- I've got the itch and there is still about four months until it gets warm enough to fish.

Bigger bait, bigger Bass!

Duck hunting in the Finger Lakes in January is a frosty proposition for my Lab Buzz. I had just unloaded my gun on a flock of Redheads without cutting a feather. After some strong verbal encouragement from my brother I looked at Buzz and decided to snap this photo. I think you can imagine what she was thinking of me.....

In Nov ’07 this gobbler and 8 others came feeding down a Eastern KS ridge past my tree stand. One arrow thru the back anchored him on the spot. The 5 beards totaled 35 2/8 inches of beard.
I could just see the rack moving in the two foot undergrowth. I crawled to the next tree about 20 yards closer and slide up the tree and took my shot and smoked him.

My granddaughter, Riley Bowers, age 7, shown here with 1 of 47 bream she caught on a Sunday afternoon in Nov. 08. She only caught 6 the first hour, then they started biting! 41 more in the next hour! She was fishing with crickets.

Patience and persistance pay off!

Two of the barn doors we landed during a crazy day of halibut fishing in Glacier Bay, Alaska. We were using squid and salmon heads. These two weighed in at 390 and 375 pounds. It was amazing!

It was the Friday of the first season. It was about 7:00 a.m. when i seen two does come running from the other side of the woods. I got my gun ready and when the does passed all i could see was the rack on the other side of the woods. It got closer and closer when it was in 30 yards i shot. I seen him jerk when i shot and knew i got him.
We were fishin at our normal spot in Cooper's Creek which is in Suches, Ga. My drag took off and after about a 30 min fight, I saw this huge fish roll up. I ordered my boyfriend to get in there and get it out. He threw it on the bank and the hook popped out. It measure 26 inches and weighed about 8 pounds.

Using my 50 year old flyrod, I regularly catch common carp in a local lake. For bait I mix up Wheaties & Strawberry soda to a paste & using a small treble hook, I gently cast off my dock. The biggest so far is a 32 inch, 23 pounder. It took 35 minutes to net the beast.

Spotted this elk the day before killing him. After hiking for an hour in the downpour got to where he was and couldn’t get him to bugle back to me. The next morning I made the hike back into the area. Never heard a thing until 8:00 am at which time he answered me and was right on top of me. Bugles one more time and he came running into 20 yards. The only went 50 yards before dyeing.
Venice La, me and my father in law went this past May 08'. We decided that the spin vs. fly was the way to have a good time. With this picture I declare myself "the user of the fly" and winner of this event. I will give him credit, he caught more fish than I did, but I think this photo speaks for itself.

After hunting on state land in the Adirondack State Park in Up-State New York for almost 20 years I finally came accross the buck of a lifetime for me. Now I have shot a few nice 5 and 7 pointers up there but this is the big-bodied-brusier I have always dreamed about. It may only have 8 points but it still looks great to me!!!

Finally!!!
