I always carve something with a hunting theme. I can't help it, Halloween falls in the middle of hunting season. This years carving is a Mule deer skull.

I wanted to make the carving a little more visible, so I took a picture in complete darkness and inlaid the picture with the full pumpkin photo.

There is so much excitement that overwhelms a hunter when a buck crosses their line of fire. I wanted to capture that moment in my pumpkin carving. I used a little creativity this is what I came up with.

Every year I go on a daughter father hunt to north dakota duck hunting. My idea stemmed from our hunt this year. The hunt was a success and so was my pumpkin !

Just something I sketched out in my philosophy class. I have found the best philosophy is taught on the water with a fishing pole and your friends. Give a man a fish and he'll continue on with his business, teach a man to fish and he won't bother with work again.

My husband and I are avid whitetail hunters, so this carving makes perfect sense. I had never carved a pumpkin before and two and a half hours later, this is what I came up with!

I love all kinds of hunting especially duckhunting. There is nothing like getting up at 2am and hitting the duck hole early and beating everyone else to the best spot

I saw you were having a pumpkin contest and i have been dreaming of a big buck. I decided to carve this beautiful dream and it took me over 4 hours to complete it. I hunt on the edge of the woods so seeing a deer run into the woods under the full moon was an easy decision for me to carve.

When I was bow hunting this fall, I came across a beautiful animal. It was a wolf. I stood in the bushes for a few mintutes and right when I was about to leave it howled at the full moon. This inspired me to make a carving for this. My friend told me about this contest and I just had to do it.

I cut the top off this pumpkin and filled it with water and then shot it with my Savage model 12 204 at 200 yards with my wife at the camera to catch the explosion.
