The 50 Best Reader Photos of December 2010

possible louisiana state record non-typical

Photographs just don’t do him justice! Especially if they are taken from the front, because he has an explosion of horns coming off his backside. Buckmasters has officially scored him at 252, and we are waiting to have him scored by p/y. I never dreamed that I would kill a deer that scored over 200, much less with a bow!

Packing Out

This is a photo of the Mountain Lion my brother shot on the morning of 11/29/2010. It is being packed out by his guide. I though it was a great photo. It was the first cat seen on the opening morning.

GRIZZILLA in BC

After a 30-yd shot to the shoulder, the grizzly whirled around and stood up facing us with his front paws over his head. Grizzilla is here in BC. The monster scored 24 13/16 B&C; inches.

I was fishing for Coho salmon on the Olds River in Kodiak Alaska when the bear showed up and demonstrated the easy way to get a fish. The bear was 35 feet away but thankfully more interested in his fish than me.

Full of Fur(oldtime photo contest)

This picture was taken in north central PA in the mid 1950’s of my grandfather(L),holding his best coon dog Ted, his brother(R) and dog. My grandfather was one of the best and most well known coon hunters throughout the North Mountain Region of Lycoming cty. I am sure for the contest youve received many pictures, but I doubt any quite like this one

I bet the guy who couldnt find this monster is pretty upset

After lunch we were walking thru our assigned area and look at the wonderful rack we found !!!!! WOW i would have hated to lose this one !!!

Intimidation

Second day I caught this guy on camera. Without the aid of the camera, I would have never known this brute was in the area. He made a 7min mistake on Sunday 12/19 which resulted in a full tag.

River Bottom Buck (literally!)

Dad was putting on a drive to Dan Blair and I.About 15 minutes after he started to walk I shot the deer twice and thought he was dead.He got back up and fell in the river!After chasing the dead deer almost a mile downstream, both Blair and dad were in the water attempting to get the buck out before it went completely under.After about 30 minutes we got my big buck safely on the bank.

Seriously?

I saw this in a rack last night…

Brad’s First buck

Brad Sheffer, age 15, of Deforest, WI, dropped his 1st buck with 1 shot, while hunting with his stepdad near Black Earth, WI on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was his 2nd deer ever, a 16 pointer. It was trotting by at 60 yards and was taken with his Weatherby Vanguard in .243.

Ten Point Buck

I was watching a doe behind me when I heard something. So I turned around and saw the buck trotting towards me with his head down. I shot twice he went down then he got back up and I shot again as he went behind some brush. I poked him with my gun and he got up and ran in the corn so I finished him in the corn. The green score is 167 and he weighed around 230lbs.

beautiful Kansas Buck

I took this great Kansas 9 point while he was busy chasing does. He is truly a great trophy.

Seriously though recovering from double knee surgery and this is as close as I get to fishing. Made from copper flashing with a torch patena.

Southern Indiana monster

I used the hawks off of a doe a buddy of mine killed earlier and hung them up in a tree about 40 yards away and about an hour later this monster came right in too them.

Ain’t had time to hunt much this season, but I finally got me one! Broke in my brand new Marlin .308 on this five-point from 160 yards away. Good day of huntin!

15 Year Old Harvest’s 150″ Kansas Buck

15 Year Old Dalton Tillison Of Moore Oklahoma Harvested this 150″ Kansas Buck with his bow. The buck was following a doe on the afternoon of November 10, 2010. After watching them all day the doe finally led the buck right down a trail in front of my treestand. At 27 yards I let the arrow go and he dropped to the ground. This is the biggest buck I have ever harvested.
