I took this deer a couple of years ago. I was told it is a unicorn deer. It has three sets of antlers. Is there a correct name for it.

I caught this behemoth (somewhere in the 32" & 13-15lb range) brown from a seldom fished dredge pond left over from the gold mining days in the late 1800's. The only reason I was able to land him on my 8ft 4 weight fly rod was because after taking my wooly bugger he alligator rolled himself right up to my fly line which was wrapped around him like a lasso.

Well lets just say hunting camp was not succesfull for elk so we took to those californoians running around the Montana woods, as you can see it was pretty successful. No all is fun and games at hunting camp, funny enough the man hanging is from california, and the other 2 are Actually Montanan's. Nothing like good memories at elk camp.

1st time out Striper Fishing. I was sitting on the boat and my rod bent in half. It was the best feeling.
This buck came in to my set up shortly before 8:30 A.M. the opening morning of first gun season here in Iowa. He entered the field from behind me and stopped 40 ft. from my blind perfectly broadside. One easily well placed shot closed the book on the biggest eight I've ever seen. This buck grossed 157 3/8 in. sporting a right G2 measuring 15 1/8 in., and an inside spread of 23 5/8 in.!

Might be a hunting shot - figure they have their slingshots in their back pockets. Life as it was on the farm in ~1930. Either in Auburn or Downs, KS. The little guy on the right is my dad.

Having married a man that has fished and hunted all his life I decided I needed to acquire a taste for at least one of his hobbies. He took me fishing for salmon numerous times and all I got was cold! Then finally, I caught my first fish and I never looked back. I love fishing with him. Spending that time together in the outdoors is amazing.

My boyfriend and I were fishin in a small lake by our house where we normally don't catch anything over a pound and a half. He reeled in this monster one foggy morning and graciously let it go.

This is my Father-in-law Ltcmdr retired John Schurman and I with his last Elk. A cow from Colorado's White River area. John was a US Navy pilot with 27 yrs experience. We had a great time. He passed away in 1986 after a 5 year battle with bone cancer.

Fly fishing the Gallatin River in the middle of a blizard on the forth of march 2009.  I hooked into this monster 31 inch brown trout on my 5 wt throwing my personal streamer pattern the "kitchen Sink". It is truley a fish of a life time. I had pictures and measurments taken and then released the trout to fight another day.

I went duck hunting around christmas and was standing in knee deep water. When day broke I looked down an saw this in the water. I feel sorry for the guy that left it behind. He had to hop about a mile to get to the nearest road. Its one of my greatest trophies. How else can say the went out with 2 legs and came back with three. I also limited out on woddies, so it was a good day.

My cousin Mike Taylor, using light tackle battles a great musky. This is a small land-locked lake – we have to portage to get into it. Unfortuantely we didn’t land the fish – we just about got tipped a few times during the 10 minute battle! Musky out of a canoe – an incredible experience!

Not too much to tell. All the water in eastern NC was frozen up except the sounds. Shot this true pair near the hwy 32 bridge over the Albermarle sound.

My buddy caught this 12 pounder with a watermelon seed color trick worm.
We treed this one on the first day of the season and chose to take his picture instead of harvesting him, saving him for another chase on another day, placing more value on the chase than the kill. It's the ultimate in catch & release,

In Sept of 2008 I was crowned "ELITE" Angler of the month by Hank Parker & berkleybigfish.com/somefishinfool & was awarded a ABU Garcia REVO Prem reel. This one of the first fish I caught with it. 22" Smallmouth on Lake Chickamauga,TN. After a day of non-stop action, it was my NEW "LUCKY ROD"

They have been doing a lot of work on Wolf Creek Dam,Lake Cumberland, Kentucky. But my good friend and angler, Jamie York, landed this 42 pound striper while trolling. He is down there most every weekend. Most people think that the lowering of the water has hurt fishing …ask Jamie, and I’m sure he will tell you a different story!
I was fishing at one of my favorite lakes, and was on a crappie fishing trip. I got curious about a patch of grass, and ran a spinner bait through it. It paid off with a great fight from a nice bass.

My son and myself went on a Fly Fishing trip to Alaska on the Kenai Penninsula last August and he caught this 22 lb, 30 in silver salmon on the fly pole he has in his teeth. The locals called it the Bay of Pigs. It took him over 45 minutes to land it.

I had this bruiser at 15 yards broadside with my bow at fulldraw and my sight pin floating over the lungs but I never let the arrow go. There was a twig the size of a pencil hanging over the kill area. He was staring at me when I had to let my bow string down. He took one step into the open and let me pull back again and the picture says the rest.
