Title: Favorite Hunting Pics
Post by: Singlebarrel on February 15, 2011, 11:45:11 AM
Does anyone else have favorite hunting photos that you find yourself looking at often just because of the memories that they bring?  Not necessarily of your "biggest" or "best", but just a snapshot that bring back a memory of a great hunt?

I have to admit that I'm pretty sentimental when it comes to memories of hunts past.  I often find myself looking back at pictures from past seasons or rereading stories or notes I have written about memorable hunts.  But It seems like certain pictures, and the memories that they bring just have a calming effect on me.  On a particularly stressful day, a quick glance at some of these pics does wonders for my temperament.  Here is one of my all time favs:

(http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af156/ihunt_photos/2011%20OG/DSC01077.jpg)

This was the moment after my best friend & hunting partner of 25 years doubled to complete our single-season slam.  We hunted & killed every bird together so it was quite fitting that we ended with a double.  I look at it often & travel back to South Dakota for a few seconds...

Nice picture and congrats on ya'lls slam.

I have two favorites, they go hand in hand and pretty much tell my whole turkey hunting story.

This pic to me signifies everything about turkey hunting for me. This is "Home Sweet Home" for my friends and I during turkey season. I killed this bird about 400yds from my tent.

Yep, that's what's its all about!  Here are 2 more of mine: both of my girls with their first birds - 2 of the best days I have ever spent in the woods...

It is a toss up for me between two.

The first picture is special because it invoved a good friend of mine. He is not ambulatory and had never killed a bird. We hunted an area here in MD which was the first handicapped only turkey hunting area in the U.S. We were hunting in a blind and with about 50 minutes left to go I slipped out to check a logging road running alongside us ( we were at a T in the roads) I peeked around the woods and saw a longbeard strutting towards us. I slipped back into the blind and got Rick situated, since the bird was coming from behind and to the right.  His guns forearm was resting basically on my shoulder, and when the 2 year old strutted in, he shot him at 6 yards....  His first bird!

(http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/ricks_turkey_3.jpg)

The second picture is from SC. It was 2007 spring season. In March of that year, about three weeks before I shot this bird, I had been stabbed  while working as a prison guard at a state facility here in MD.  I went through absolute he ll with the anti HIV meds, and the sickness that it causes.  I was having some serious issues as well. I killed the bird in a beautiful Sc creek bottom, and other than my first turkey, this one was probably the most fulfilling bird I have ever shot.

What's with the blood?  Please remember all animals can carry things like Tularemia in their blood and contact should be minimized at all costs.  

Great pics, though, proud moments.

Here are a couple more all time favorites.  My Mom killed this turkey between Chemo treaments while battling breast cancer.  She couldn't sit up very long at one time because of the sickness caused by the chemo, but she still got the job done.

Great pics, especially like the one with Hobbes kids, back shot, carrying that Turkey out. That's classic stuff. One of these days I've just got to convert my 35m prints to a disk, but that is one heckuva a lot of work digging thru all those pictures. Guesswho, looking at your parents, I see how you've become a great Turkey hunter. You had some great teachers :icon_thumright:

stilker, that pic has been one of my favorites for a long time.

The pic was taken where he dropped, the body of water behind me is called Gobbler Slough believe it or not and is located in Greene Co, Alabama.

A lot of great memories were made on that tract, lots! Ain't that right Flydown?  ;)

Thanks guys. I still kick myself to this day for not having a camera. All I had was my cell phone. This would make a great 8x10 for the wall.

Not much of a story really.  I heard him gobbling on the roost so I head his way. I knew where his hens were and I got on their side about 50 yards from him. One tree yelp, he flew out, took 3 steps and I blasted him.

1 3/8 spurs, public land. He was roosted in one of the big cypress trees. I got so close I could hear his feet walking on the limb. Luckily I had a big tree between me & him to help me sneak.

Here's a sideways shot too
