This year its bighorns, rocky mountain elk, caribou, grizzly, and right now we're chasing cougars. Going to be a great year I hope! We definitely have a lot of things to choose from here.

Now I'd like to know what kind of job you've got that lets you do and afford all this... :eek: I thought my hunting trips weren't too shabby til I started reading your last couple adventures...! Look forward to reading the next one.

I hear ya, we have a young feller and while my hunting's kept up, my other activities have all taken a hit. Wouldn't trade it for anything though. :) One day he'll come out with me too, which will really be something.

Couldn't agree more, quite looking forward to that day myself.

Bigbore14, keep posting pics if you have anymore. Very beautiful country side!
 
Beautiful pictures of the high elevation lakes!
It really looks like an area I hunted in northern B.C. in 1993! REEAAALLY like it!!!
We hunted Stones and Goats for 3 and a half weeks.
It was an adventure of a life time! I lost 35lbs!

Incredibly fresh air, with a sweet aroma unlike anywhere else I have ever been!
God I loved everything about it! I was brutally hard on me, but soooooooooo worth it!

We camped on the leward side of a mountain top, and used the daily runoff from a little glacier for our water. There wasnt much more water sources there that year. Man was that water ever goood!!! Its hard to describe how refreshing it was!

We nearly lost one of our tents one morning to the winds! Luckily, I had slept in, and just happened to catch my friends tent before it plunged over the edge of the mountain side! AND I MEAN BARLEY!!! Can you imagine how we would have had to pile 4 of us into a 3 man tent for two more weeks!? Yikes!

BIG BORE14:
You wrote a fine story, using suspense, and reader antisipation,mixing the story lines very well!
It reminds me of when I was a younger hunter and loved writing!

Trust me, wright the story out, and send it to many different publications. One of them will surely use it!

I know the satisfaction of having your stories published for the world to see! Theres nothing like it!

I have had the privilage to have some of my work published over the years in a magazine. Its exciting/rewarding to see your pictures and story in a glossy magazine! It makes us realise, we all have a story to tell. "ALL OF US!"

Some of us are just story tellers from the start with a creative heart.

If you ever have kids, they will love to see thier dad in a magazine! Have I convinced you yet?

If you dont succeed in getting a magazine to publish it, consider keeping a long term series of stories, and try to publish them your self in a personal hunting book platform/ or online like your profession. KEEP TAKING PICTURES! you seem to have an eye for it!

Again, well done and it was a fresh,creative, inventive way to tell your tale! Congrats!

Straight shootin you gunnutz!
 
That was a great read! I did skip ahead to read the full ram article and then went back to the elk, and both stories were awesome! You are obviously a hard core hunter, who isn't afraid to go the extra distance to harvest a truly magnificent animal. My hat is off to you, sir, and I think you've just inspired me to be a better hunter, who isn't worried about "how will I get that animal out of there?" when I hunt. You've made me see that the great trophies really are worth the extra effort. thank you.
